It was a cold night last night. We had two blankets on the bed and wished we had our electric blanket to warm up the bed while the generator was running.
We had to crank the truck, to crank
the generator, again this morning, (or rather Lauren did). Needless to say, we went looking for the NAPa
We spent the cloudy, cold, 39 degree morning at the visitor
center to use their WiFi access. It was slow.
We got our phone updates done, make some phone calls, (some much needed
sister talk time), got a new battery, and headed back to camp. We were hoping for warm sunshine by the time
we got back. It didn’t happen.
We have been here 3 days and haven’t unloaded Amber because
of the weather; we decided to layer up and go.
It was a cold, cloudy, 52 degrees when we took off to Butler
Wash Indian Ruins and Natural
Bridges National
Monument
We had gone to Natural Bridges many years ago in the truck
because it was raining. It is a lot more
scenic and fun, (even though it was cold), riding Amber instead of in the
truck. It was a little hot hiking in our
attire, so we only took a few short hikes.
I put on all the layers I had for the ride back. I had my sweater turtleneck, my cuddle dudds,
my hoodie, my gloves, and my knit headband (thanks Jean). It was a nice ride until about the last 8
miles, then it was cold.
We cooked some good ole ranch crappie on the grill tonight,
while standing by the warm campfire, enjoying the sunset and watching a momma
and baby deer.
