Electrified!

On Thursday, we had decided that our goal should be to get the house ready for an inspection of rough-in electric and plumbing. That meant we needed to go to Prescott for supplies. By the time we got back, it was 8 p.m. and dark. The temperature had already dipped to 29, and furry frost had begun to form on the top of the cooler.

With all the cloudy days, our solar charger was not keeping the battery in the trailer charged, so we had to run the generator all night again to keep the heat on. The the pop-outs had apparently reached their saturation point. They dripped on us all night. We slept with a sheet pulled up over our faces.

In the morning, everything was covered in frost.

The meadow looked like a holiday postcard.













And ice formed around the edges of the pools that had collected. On the upside, the roads were also frozen, and not a bog of quicksand.












We were cheered by the sight of the APS truck around 9 a.m. By 11, we had electricity!
