A cold light rain is pattering on the aluminum roof tonight. It’ll probably turn to snow in a few hours. We’ve been disconnecting the water line at night and switching to the onboard fresh water tank because of the freezing temperatures.

We’ll probably be unable to blog for a couple of days, because we are staying in the center of the park where only analog phone service exists.
