Today, we took it easy mostly... Overnight, the wind was whipping, rocking the rig, and now the furnace was running almost constantly, so neither one of us slept well.
About 6 MST I got up and made a recipe for Crock Pot sweet rolls -- it takes about 2-3 hours to cook -- so I then went back to bed. Tony was drifting into sleep on the recliner, so we napped until the sweet rolls were ready.
We awoke to more snow that had fallen (3" according to the Ski Report) but it was blowing so hard that nothing really "stuck" to the truck or trailer or roads.
Blowing snow and more falling on the ski resort
Tony had to fill more water in the fresh tank, then we could take showers. I put some ribs on to cook in the crock pot.
Now a little clearer.
We ended up both taking naps to try to catch up on some sleep, then decided to roam around town a bit and see how Angel Fire had changed since we were here last, back in 2010. We also had to fuel up, since the cold was affecting our auxiliary tank filter--apparently, it was frozen. Diesel fuel here is $2.30 a gal! We also stopped at the Napa Auto Parts to get some PS 911, formulated to help with freezing fuel filters/tanks.
With the sun out, it looks pretty good! But the wind is still blowing.
We returned from our exploring, then went ahead and fixed dinner. The wind was whipping stronger again, so we snuggled in and watched some shows and enjoyed the scenery.
About 7pm, our propane monitor light flashed, saying one tank was empty and the second tank was in use. That meant we'd need to get propane tomorrow.
Although we didn't do much today, we are glad to be here!
