Brrrrr! It's cold!

It's Sunday morning.  Friday evening I was sitting outside in shorts and t-shirt at Highlands Hammock, and we awoke this morning to 27 degrees!  It was expected: there were National Weather Service alerts on the radio about a hard freeze for the next two nights, and after a walk around the park yesterday, we returned to the RV to find a notice taped to the door, asking that we leave the water faucet dripping to prevent frozen pipes.

Fortunately we are traveling with winter jackets, and this morning the RV warmed right up, thanks to the furnace (which we had not run in about a year).

The campsite here is quite nice, not picturesque but large and private---a nice contrast to the past few nights.  This area is very dry, and we noticed driving up that the formerly lakefront homes now have docks sticking out over dry sand.  The "lake" in our Lakeview campground is just a depression in the ground.

Heading north today for the 2-day drive home!
