1. Check at the hotel desk about a courtesy jump start; if they have one and what it entails. Sometimes that could be a portable jumpstarter or they may even have something set up with a local mechanic.
2. Go buy yourself your own jumpstarter and have it charging in the room all night. Might cost less than calling out a mechanic/tow truck to jump you (if not a service of the hotel....which is doubtful they offer this). However, would be MUCH easier on the fingers than trying to get your battery out of the truck tonight, then back in tomorrow early AM. ...How nimble are your fingers when it's -36F??
3. If the hotel has a place you can plug in, you could buy a battery charger or a decent maintainer and keep it plugged in all night.

Quite much, I needed un-gloved hands. Also needed 3 different wrench sizes, plus a 1/2" socket with extension just to change the battery. Ridiculous!!

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
