Brrrrrrrr

The weather forecast had turned bad, so after talking with the camp host, we decided that we should head out of the mountains yesterday and get to a lower altitude.  Rain was predicted, and subfreezing weather.  We didn’t want to drive in that.  So, reluctantly, we left a day earlier than planned and drove to Catalina State Park near Tucson, where we will hunker down and wait out the cold. 

And I mean COLD!  I have been coming to Arizona for many years around New Year’s and have never experienced several nights in a row of sub zero weather.   Look at those lows!  In the low 20s. 

We have a beautiful spot, close to some hiking trails we can take when the days warm up to…….45.  It will be sunny, and our camper is set up for this.  We will take all of our canned goods out of the pickup so they don’t freeze, and put them somewhere in the camper for five days.  We are in a sunny spot so we can keep our batteries charged from our solar panel (although the furnace fan draws a lot of charge).  It will be different, but another adventure to add to a list that is already very long.

We’ll have fun, because we always have fun no matter what.  We’ll make it fun.
