Weds, Jan 15:
Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Texas
The shower room is a warm 72 degrees and water is hot. They are clean...probably because not many people here and especially messy children.
Because there was snow/rain before our arrival, trails are closed until probably after our departure on Monday.
Being in the canyon and on the far end of central time zone...first light was at 7:30...late!
Each morning I have to wipe the three windows in bedroom and put the towel outside to dry....they get drippy with our hot air and cannot have mold in here....works well. We brought 3 small electric heaters and closed off the cab of our class C to limit what we had to heat. One goes in the back big storage area and two in the “house” part of rv. We have heat-on-the-wall set around 50 but the electric heaters at night are on low...low enough to preferably not have the heat on wall go on. We carry a 20 lb. Propane tank because we can get that filled anywhere...onboard not quite as easy and I don't want to be hunting for propane. Besides we can then use the park's electric. We were going to bring the two burner electric “stove” but decided it was just one more thing to store. The positioning of the smoke alarm makes it go off every time I cook something AND freaks Mali dog out. I usually take it down to avoid that.
Today walking and exploring and grabbing internet at the trading post which is a 5 minute drive up the road.
A jeep drive revealed there are 6 campers in the park in three campgrounds with two camphosts. So we pretty much have the park all to ourselves...nice...just two others in our campground. WE are content with the campground we picked.
