Yup, the military paid really well. We were at that exact same site the year before -- but in the middle of winter -- when one of the worst winter storms I've ever been caught in swept through. The temp (with wind chill) had been dropping to -65 F (though the "real" temp was probably something around -25 or -30). We had been told by base personnel that we had arrived right in the middle of their yearly 2-week wind storms that rip through the hills.
We had to keep our diesel van running all day and night, for the week we were there, for fear that it would freeze solid and not start up again.
