We Struck Gold!

Again , blue skies for the wake up call, however it was pretty windy out! Today was a cleaning / fix it day. Lyn has been determined to clean the windows inside and out since we moved in. I had a couple of jobs to do on the truck, the air filter holder got damaged when I had the brake lines replaced, so a quick application of duct tape was in order. There has been a very annoying squeak coming from the passenger side of the truck (NO, not Lyn), that we had tracked down to the doors. A few sprays with grease should have quietened that down

Inside the trailer I gave the stove a good cleaning, but in the process managed to knock a small sheet of plastic down behind it. Not wishing to risk the plastic melting / smelling /igniting, the stove had to be removed. Once I had access down the back I founded the plastic, and also 6 US quarters! We’re rich, at today’s exchange rate that must be at least a million dollars Canadian!

After lunch we went for a walk along a side road that led to a lake behind the campground, although the temperature was around 18°C, the strong winds made it feel a lot cooler. Hopefully this will be the last of the cool weather for a while, tomorrow we head south 100 miles or so, and down 2000 ft. The forecast at our next destination is in the 28-32°C. We’ll soon be complaining that it is too hot!

I started a little packing up outside, but as we are in no great rush to depart tomorrow, most of it can be done then. While I was doing that Lyn was whipping up another quilt!

Next job, fill in the census!

Next stop Arco ID.
