Today was another day for us to catch up on some maintenance so our exploration went right out the window. Peggy finished the laundry we didn’t finish a couple days ago. I dumped the waste tanks and filled our on-board water supply because we are heading into areas where water might not be available. We disassembled and re-assembled the rear left corner of the trailer but this time we used appropriate fasteners unlike the rusty short screws we removed and discarded. We bought fuel, tobacco and milk to top off our supplies. We made some reservations for our next few destinations. I had one of our propane tanks filled. We have used quite a bit of propane recently because it is down in the 20’s at night here. The two electric 1500 watt heaters we have in the trailer just can’t keep up with outside temperatures below freezing but the trailer’s propane furnace has no problem. It does chew up a lot of fuel, though.
Tomorrow we depart the Huachuca City/Sierra Vista area heading east toward New Mexico and Texas. We will cross the Continental Divide for the first time on this year’s trip shortly after we go by Lordsburg, N.M. Maybe the nighttime temperatures will come up a bit once we start going down instead of up.
