River Full Finally

A bit of a cold day today and it is supposed to get down to 28 F by 0700 in the morning. Then by noon it is supposed to be warm enough run around in warm weather clothing. Goofy weather for sure.

However we did get in a nice walk this morning of 2.93 miles with the slightly cool weather helping the OFM keep on stepping out.

Here is the same spot in yesterdays picture of a flooded trail. We walked it today!

According to the river water authorities web site, the local water level is back to full at elevation 555.5 Ft. This picture coming up agrees with that. It is a lot nicer to view pretty water than the muddy creek bank in our opinion.

That picture was just down stream from the Hike and Bike Trail start point on Flint Creek.

Late this afternoon the OFM finally remembered to get some black paint to put over the new white caulk we have been using to seal weathering caulk. If you paint it right after the caulk cures, it seems to last for several more years than when left to the weather. The black color matches the rubber seals color around most of the Castles openings. We already have white paint on the white caulk used in some parts of the rig. The Castle is a 2005 model with a huge amount more wear from use than almost all other travel trailers we have ever seen.

That is about it for tonight. It will be a slow morning until the temps get warm enough to get busy outdoors where the fun is at.
