We left Sand Hollow at 7:15 this morning, wanted to get on the road before the bad weather moved into the area. It worked out well at we got here about 10:30 local time.
Here is today’s drive.
Lees Ferry area.
Our campsite, we set in the middle area for a while before moving over to a canyon edge site.
We are in site 41 at $9.00 a night with old guy pass. We may be here until Wednesday or might move on sooner.
View from my chair in the shade setting next to the motor home is below.
This is looking back towards the campground from the river.
At 8:30 this evening the wind picked up and by 10:00 it was blowing 50 and 60 miles per hour. We put the large slide in around 9:30 and then put the bedroom slide in around 10:00. The wind was blowing over the bedroom slide topper however the weather app shows rain coming this way and I don’t want rain coming in under the slide topper. Getting the wind from the driver’s side rear quarter panel and it is sure raising hell with the old satellite dish. It is designed for wind to come from the front and not the rear. It is really banging. 10:45 and starting to RAIN big drops. Update at 11:00, rain quit after a few minutes wind is still blowing. 11:21 wind has stopped. Man is it quiet.
We keep a thermometer in the refrigerator to make to easy to keep track of the internal temp. This afternoon I looked to see what the outside temp was and the refrigerator was at 50 degrees. We went through this several years ago and I finally figured out that if I shut off all the power to the house side of the motor home for 30-60 seconds the refrigerator will reset it’s self. I reset the power turned on the internal fans and an hour later the refrigerator was back down to 38 degrees. Those internal fan can move some air.
I like traveling in warm weather not hot but warm. One of the advantages is the motor home’s batteries last forever. This evening we had the TV on using the 12 volt DC to 110 volt AC for several hours and the battery voltage never got off 13.0 volts. With a light it went to 12.9.
