Now let me say something about Oregon weather, it is what it is when it is. I know this.
I arrived on Saturday. It was overcast and chilly. Not to worry. I set up my campsite:
And Bailey and I settled in for a nice cozy afternoon listening to music and reading. Note the cube heater on the shelf:
The next morning I made myself eggs, bacon and toast in 30 degree weather. I know this sounds strange but it was delicious. Here comes the sun:
I spent the day sitting in my zero gravity chair in my sleeping bag reading my book in the sun or taking walks with Bailey.
The next day, I had to go back into town for a doctor appointment. I awoke to frost which was ok. When I returned, there was 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground with more falling. I wish I had taken the picture before I cleared the snow of off the shelter:
Picture from inside the camper as the snow fell:
Now, I am originally from WI, so driving in the snow does not bother me. On the other hand, I have never towed in the snow. I was also a little disconcerted when everyone else (yes, there are other crazy people in the world) began to bug out. I looked at the forecast (yes, I know) for the next day and decided that it would get warm enough with the sun shinning by the time I left that the roads should be clear. And that is what happened:
I would like to take this opportunity to give a great big thank you to Camp Inn. For someone who has neither the time nor the skills to build something like this, I am glad I found this camper. I have to say that in my 50 odd years, this in one of the best things I have purchased. The people at Camp Inn have been great to work with and stand behind their product.
In the last year, I have had many great adventures and met some really wonderful people in the teardrop community. I am looking forward to 2013 and what it will bring.
I have to say that I had a great weekend. I wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.
