Another warm night, and overcast day. The temperature made it up to 18°C before plummeting down to 9°C with plenty of rain. No packing up today!
Lyn headed out to her last craft meeting this morning, and I got a couple of my spreadsheets up to date. After lunch I headed out to fill the truck up with diesel, it’s so much easier without a 36ft trailer on the back. It was at this time the breakdown occurred; I was shopping for a few things in the food store when, inexplicably, a donut leaped into the basket. It looked so lonely I took it back with me. I figured my weight has dropped below my target so this would help stabilise it! The donut was eaten during our afternoon coffee break, and I hid behind the computer so Lyn didn’t suffer.
We headed out for a while to say good-bye to friends, then it was back to clean out the tanks in preparation for travel. The weather at our destination does not appear as bad as forecast, most of the snow seems to have fallen as rain, and the daytime temperatures in the forecast have risen, but there are still a couple of -10°C nights to deal with.
Luckily it’s less than a 4 hour drive tomorrow, so after a waffle breakfast it will hopefully only take a couple of hours to pack up and get on our way. It’ll be a long climb as Williams is at about 7,000ft ASL.
