The snow has all melted and the days are much warmer here in Fairbanks but we’re still getting down to the mid forties at night occasionally…usually it’s in the 50’s. But I’m still wearing a long sleeve shirt most of the day. Around noon it’s warm enough to take it off but then a cloud rolls by and back on it goes. I’m enjoying this because if you remember, I don’t care for the heat. You get up to 80°F and I’m looking for AC. Last week we had hail! Can you believe it people? Especially you folks down in Las Vegas – where it’s 85°F right now, soon to be 115°F. Don’t envy you people.
A few days ago we had a big ass moose wander through the park, I didn’t have my camera so I couldn’t get any shots…Stacy got a couple with her camera phone but they didn’t turn out well enough to put up on the web. One of these days…
We’ve been working at getting the park spruced up, like putting new campsite number signs up, cleaning up the scrub brush, got the water turned on, started installing 30A outlets for big rigs, fixed a few things, & started the garden. With the high price of vegi’s here and the short growing season, a garden is a must. Actually, we’re a couple weeks behind.
I have moved my RV over here to the park and it is giving me a new problem, if you have been reading my blog, you’ll remember that I had trouble getting winterized on time last winter, so I wasn’t sure I had all the water out of the plumbing system before I buttoned it all up. That means I needed to worry about a busted pipe spraying water all over when I charged it up this spring. While I haven’t found any broken or leaking pipes so far, for some reason, when I turn on the water pump (there is no park water at my site so I use the on-board pump), it keeps running instead of coming up to pressure and stopping. If there is a water leak, I can’t find it. Perhaps it’s sucking air from somewhere…but where?
I found the problem…there is a pump bypass that I had opened last winter, once I closed that, my system is working fine with no leaks! Yeah!
