Today we worked preparing for the upcoming freezing temperatures. Ron completely winterized the camper with anti-freeze in the water lines and tanks. We bought gallons of water to use for drinking and cooking, and for Justice. We are a few steps away from heated bathrooms, too that makes it a bit easier for us.
The wind began to pick up around 11:30am and its a strong wind with a definite bite to it. As the day went on, the temperature dropped from 58 to a cold 17 degrees at 8:00pm. We have plenty of heating options in the camper with a forced air furnace, a small electric heater we’ll keep in the bedroom, and Mr. Buddy who can pump out very warm heat if needed. We have no doubt we’ll stay warm overnight, and the camper water lines will not freeze.
There aren’t very many campers here now – surprisingly 🙂 We saw several heading out earlier and certain some cancelled their reservations, too. Earlier today a large limb broke off near our neighbor’s truck. The campgrounds maintenance staff were here immediately and got it cleaned up with short work!
I cooked a small ham yesterday that we plan to reheat and eat over the next day or two, primarily using paper plates to minimize any dishes to be washed. We have some easy side dishes to microwave, along with a salad and some desserts. We definitely won’t go hungry.
Hope everyone stays safe and warm over the next few days!
