We slept good until about midnight last night when the thunderstorms hit.

We woke up to a cloudy, cold, 39 degrees this morning. When Lauren went to crank the generator to run the heater, the camper battery was dead.  Lauren hooked up to the truck the camper battery to crank the generator.  I love it when a plan comes together.

Ferny decided it was too cold to get out of bed this morning.  I covered her up in the blanket and she went back to sleep.

We decided we needed to buy a gas can and fuel up the generator.  The closest Walmart was 70 miles away.  We had planned to go sightseeing on Amber today instead we went in the truck.

We had a pretty ride to Hovenweep National Monument.  We hiked the 2 mile trail looking at the towers the Pueblo Indians built. Those guys had pretty good masonry skills.   We thought the trail was easy until we walked down in the canyon and back up the other side. 

We continued on to the Walmart in Cortez, Colorado.  It was a pretty busy town.  Got our goods and went back to camp.

When we got back home, we woke up Fernykat.  She had been under the blanket all day.  It wasn’t long until we realized why she stayed under the blanket.  As we were cooking our hamburgers on the Hollywood charcoal grill, I went in and put on my cuddle dudds and my gloves.  It was too cold to sit around a campfire.

 Needless to say, as soon as the burgers were ready, we went in.  We have the furnace heater and the electric heater running and will be getting an extra blanket for the bed tonight.
