booch: i dont know ive never dried outside, i want to see. but i see your point, its not exactly convenient. do you have any knowledge of outdoor drying. i need to know if its possible or a big nono. it seems during the fall whent its dry if you made somekind of leanto with a clothesline running through it it might work. i wish i could dry inside but i have no place and dont exactly want to leave it at a friends house.
