Camping in the Snow on Victoria Day

Posted by Thomas Alan Gray May 19, 2009

Saturday was gorgeous so that afternoon I headed out to the cabin. Goals included digging up a garden spot for my wife and doing some repair work on the trailer.

Neither job was entirely finished when the storm hit on Sunday. As the clouds approached, I threw a tarp over the trailer and tipped the wheelbarrow over the rototiller and scooted into the cabin where I watched the wind and rain for a while before going to work on the plumbing and researching future articles.

What, you think I go to the cabin to relax? :)

Between storm fronts I drove to town for supplies and stopped to check out a few fifth wheels for sale parked along the highway.

• 1997, 24', no slide, good condition, $10,500 obo;
• 2001, 25', no slide, like new inside, some damage outside, $15,000 obo;
• 1999, 24', 8' slide, good condition in and out, $8850 obo.

Hmm....

Woke up Monday morning to about 10 cm of fluffy wet snow. Dog thought it was wonderful.

Only managed to get one of the articles online: RV Appliances Spring Checkup. Hope to do more but this is a busy week.

Happy 88th Birthday, Dad!
