I always think you are brave doing this alone anyway, but doing it in winter? I do not think I'd have the courage to do that. Especially with all the bad weather going through the country lately. Do you have an ultimate destination?

 

Eventually I plan to be at our old boondocking spot in southern California, or in nearby Yuma. I plan to be in the L.A. Basin on May 1 for a celebration, and that's my only firm date. I had hoped to be in Arizona by next weekend, but the mechanical issues have put the kibosh on that.

On the one hand I'm disappointed to be stuck. On the other hand there are worse places to be stuck. I have power, propane and food all readily available, and if need be (or boredom strikes) I can disconnect the trailer and drive the pickup to town, which isn't far.

 

Here's breakfast.

In the foreground, the other half of the chicken/bacon/ranch wrap i bought for dinner last night. In the middle ground, coffee in a photo cup I'll tell you about sometime, and the sad amaryllis that really, truly did not like being frozen yesterday morning. In the sink is the small pot I use to collect water for rinsing things (and then the water can go outside onto the ground).
