Another
night of cold and having to sleep in a sleeping bag all zipped up
tight to stay warm. Doing the normal OFM bathroom runs during the
night with all the bother of the bag was the last straw he thought.
But
fuel was added to the fire when we checked with the propane supplier
in Rio Grande City if propane was available yet, the answer was nope
and garble garble voice twice.
OK.
The OFM Teams do not do this style of living to be uncomfortable. We
know the good solution to this mess and sat down an made a
reservation at the State Park next door for a water/electric site. In
fact we got our favorite site right across the street from the bath
house.
The
packing went very well. The Castle seemed to know what was happening
and it was a fast get ready. Three miles over to the check in station
went gently and comfortably. A few minutes of nice conversation with
the wonderful lady that runs the campground paperwork and we were
rolling on. Pulled into the site right on the correct spot and setup
went very well. Here are two pics of the site. The first is from the
bath house area and the second from the back corner of the cleared
“yard”.
It
is really wonderful to be really comfortable again tonight. The
electric heater is keeping the Castle at the OFM's preferred warmth.
As you might guess the OFM is not a fan of cold weather and cold
starts at 55F in his world.
The
OFM was feeling sickly all day like a fever was running but checking
the body temp found
him
at 98.6f on the money. After an hour plus nap he was back to healthy
again.
We
headed to the butterfly garden for some gentle exercise and ended up
shooting 37 pictures for fun. Now we have more to catchup on.
Supper
was a large salad with bell pepper chips topping it. On the side was
a burger patty fried in a 2 liter pot that was great.
Hopefully
we will have a calm and peaceful night for a change. The whole team
could use it.
While
over at the Butterfly Garden we noticed a bird blind that was new to
us. So off we went to check it out. Here it is for your joy.
Now
we are going to kick back and relax and try to figure some new ways
for trying to have tooooo much fun.
