Elk Flats Campground at Cave Lake State Park, NV – Tuesday June 16, 2015

Got here at 1:00 and we are in site 14.
Did not do anything this afternoon, well not really I did work on the jigsaw puzzle Brian and Christine gave me for Christmas.  Most days when I am driving I’d think about getting started on this puzzle and then after we were stopped I’d forget about it. It is a Shutterfly puzzle Brian had made of a picture I posted on the blog last summer.  I got the outside border done before I had to quit for dinner.
Yesterday while at Cathedral Gorge we had a challenge with the refrigerator.  It seems when the temperature gets over 100 it gets unhappy.  With the sun on the outside of the motor home it had to be between 180 to 200 degrees on the outside of the frig.  This morning while filling up with water I took some temp readings.  At 9:00 a.m.after 20 minutes the shaded side of motor home was 78 degrees, sunny side the fiberglass 110, metal doors 140, steps 124.  The weather channel said it was 96 where we were yesterday. Anyway the temp in the refrig started rising. At 58 degrees it was time to do something. This happened last fall one day at Lees Ferry when the temp got over 100 degrees.  In the fall I worked on it for several hours and made plans to go to Flagstaff to get it worked on. I finally used the electrical disconnect to turn all the power in the coach. This reset the refrig and it worked fine until yesterday.  This worked again, by bed time it was down to 45, at 4 a.m it was 37 and at 7:00 a.m. It was 35, happy refrig, has worked fine all day today.
