Freeze Warning

This morning was overcast but warm, around 65°F with some humidity. I fear this may be the last of the warm weather for a few days as there is a freeze warning out for tonight. West of here in Texas, where the weather is coming from, they had daytime highs of 8°C.

This morning Lyn did some more sewing, and I started the next stage of the camera install. The camera needs to be connected to a transmitter, which ideally would be placed at the back of the trailer close to the camera. The problem with that is, the trailer has an aluminum frame so the signal from the transmitter will be quite weak by the time it reaches the receiver inside the truck. To get around this, a cable will connect the camera to the transmitter, which will be placed right at the front of the trailer. Most of the wiring will just run along the frame outside, but I need to get it from underneath the trailer up through the back of the living area to the cupboard behind the camera. This took best part of the morning to finish, but now there is no sign of the cable.

After lunch we headed south to a new trail that runs along a hydro right of way, and also houses a few caches. These caches were more evilly hidden than most (4 out of 5 on the difficulty scale) but after a little hunting we found them all.

After that we headed out to a fresh seafood store we had been told about that was on the banks of the Bon Secour river. This was only about 5 miles off the main road we travel a lot, but we had never been there before. Once there we were confronted with a multitude of shrimp. I always thought a shrimp was a shrimp, but I guess not. In the end we departed with some fresh giant shrimp which were destined to go straight onto the BBQ.
