An interesting
situation:
110 power is out.
For the park, restaurant, and maybe the town. And for some unknown
reason my 12 volt system is not working. And, I can't pack up and
leave because we are having a windstorm and aliners are not good at
folding or unfolding in high winds. I'm glad I have lots of bedding,
including a sleeping bag. 2.5 gals of drinking water. I'm going to
have to try to start the frig on propane. Haven't had much luck with
that, up to now. Also I left my electric meter at home, so have no
way of checking wiring. Still going to try some stuff. Heat is my
big problem.
Four hours later the
power came back on. In the meantime I find my 12 volt system does
not work the way it should. That means I have to have 110 power
wherever I stay. Without it I have no heating system and the
refrigerator does not work. I may be able to get the frig working on
propane. We'll see about that.
Did laundry today.
One of the interesting things traveling the way I do is the people
you meet. While doing laundry I had a long talk with a guy who works
in a marina in Maryland during the summer and then does what he
pleases when that closes down. He is currently traveling around the
country on a dirt bike. This is the perfect place for that.
Another guy lives
here and makes his living trapping bees. He has hives and
occasionally gets a hive that way. His major income is from killing
africanized bees. A major problem here. There were four deaths this
past season.
Tomorrow I plan to
see the other end of the park. Sunday will be a cleaning and packing
up day.
Leave on Monday.
Hooray! Frig is working on propane. Really helps to wait until after dark to light it. I can't see the pilot light in daylight. Without the frig I would be eating most of my meals in restaurants. Now if I have to live without 12 volt power I can. I have a battery powered lantern, and a sleeping bag with extra blankets. Cooking can be done with just the propane. I'll miss the microwave and toaster oven, but can live without if I'm just traveling.
