Winter Camping

This is our first experience with winter camping. The first week we were in MN was still warm with temps in the 60's. The second week temperatures started to drop (more November like) and we were headed towards our first significant snowfall.

After starting as rain, it turned to heavy wet snow. The worst thing was having to get up on the ladder to brush off our slide covers. Andy had the honors of doing that, although his comments indicated that he really didn't consider it to be an honor. :) If we hadn't removed the snow, it would likely have frozen, thus potentially damaging the slide covers.

Then yesterday we had thunder, lightning, a downpour of rain and hail! On November 28! This was all in a span of 2 hours or so. By the time we left to run errands, we had bright sunshine.

We've been pleased with how our aqua hot is keeping us warm both inside and out. The key is not to have anything in the water compartment freeze and so far we've had no problems. 

The biggest hassle (as mentioned before) is no water hook-up at our site. This week we will move to a closer site to the office building which will allow us to be able to fill water without having to move the motorhome (a combination of our hoses and the campground hose). That will make things a lot easier. 

It's still unusual weather for the end of November/early December. But we will take all of the nice stuff we can!
