Winter Excursion 10, Day 94

We have only 7 campers in the park. The weather is brutal, temps in the teens and wind 15 - 25 mph!

We spent most of the day indoors as did all the campers.

Our big worry is the faucets. We are constantly checking to make sure they are dripping. All the campers were asked to fill their fresh water tanks and disconnect their hoses from the water pedestals and drip them. Only a few of them did as asked and we are worried as some of the faucets are frozen solid. When they thaw in a day or two we will see if we have any broken pipes. Temps are forecast to stay in the teens for the next 48 hours.

The find of the day was an ice cube, but I have no pic as it melted when I brought it into the camper!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 93

It's a Friday at the campground and we would normally expect the place to be full. We are far from that. We only have a handful of campers in the park. Due to the weather many folks have canceled for the weekend and some are even leaving early.

Our main focus is keeping all the faucets dripping to prevent frozen pipes.

The find of the day was this coat hanger.

I'm sure it came from someone's winter coat that came out of the closet for the first time in years. We are not use to the temps we've been having in the south.
 

Winter Excursion 10, Day 92

Today was closer to a normal host day. I did the morning rounds with no issues. We cleaned the bathhouses. In the early afternoon I cleaned sites and some of the campground roads. Mid afternoon we sat out by the fire. Temps actually got into the low 50s! We did our evening rounds and dripped the faucets again. Then it was dinner time!

Temps are forecast to be in the teens for the next two nights and there is snow in the forecast for the weekend. We will see what happens.

The find of the day was fuse.

I guess someone blew a fuse. I hope they got over it!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 91

Did my rounds this morning and found two frozen faucets. Luckily there are no campers in the park as we had to turn off the water to the entire campground. It took a lot of digging and four of us working to do the repairs. We were finished around 1500 and got the water back on. The high temp today was in the 30s it made for a fun time repairing faucets.

We do have a few campers arriving tomorrow so we got the sites all ready today.

By the end of the day I was beat, ready for a toddy, and a nice hot meal.

The find of the day was this vape device. It is the first one I've ever found.

And I did not try it out!

It's been quite a first day "ON".

The weather is supposed to turn even colder. I keep reminding myself that we really are in southern Georgia,

Winter Excursion 10, Day 90

The cold is still with us although it did hit 40 today. It felt like summer!

It's our last of four days off so we left camp to do a little food, supplies, and propane shopping.

Back at camp we did a little camp maintenance. It was windy yesterday and last night so there was pine cones, pine needles, and branches all over our site. We did some inside cleanup also.

Cath made a nice batch of fried rice for dinner. We watched a little TV and I hit the sack early. Back on duty tomorrow.

Winter Excursion 10, Day 89

Woke up this morning to temps in the teens! It took until this afternoon for temps to go above freezing. The locals around here are not use to this weather. Actually Cath and I are not a fan either! Tonight will be a repeat of this crazy weather and then it will heat up just a little.

We did get a little walk in late this morning. It seems so weird that there is no one in the campground. We don't think that has happened before. 

We stayed in the camper for the most part, watched some TV, and relaxed. We did drive the 2  miles to the Dollar Store to pickup some French fries to go with our crab cakes for dinner.

One more day off tomorrow then back to work, except there is no work!

I got a good pic of Cath with her new Brinkley winter cap. She only wears it when she doesn't want to comb her hair!

Winter Excursion 10, Day 88

The campground remains totally empty. Only we two hosts are here. The employees came to work late, but really had nothing to do. There is no outgoing or incoming campers until at least Wednesday.

Our co-host came over in the late afternoon to watch the football games with us. After we had a brief rainstorm he and I rode into town and picked up some pizzas. You can't watch football without some football food!

Temps will take a nose dive tonight so we are back to dripping faucets and using water from our tank. It will be a cold week.
