Frozen

It has been freezing here for two days, and this morning I awoke to this:

My water hook-up is frozen, no water. I left my grey dump valve open and the kitchen faucet dripping, but not enough. I'm also getting low on propane. Forecast says a high of 36 today, if I can get water going again, I can clean some stuff up and leave the faucet with a greater stream for tonight.

I have a small electric heater I'm using, but it only does so much. I'm reconsidering a ceramic heater, a lot of RVers use them. Thing is, I can use the a/c in reverse mode for heat if the outside temperature is over about 34F, but I see now there are definitely times the ceramic heater would be useful. They use a lot less propane, also need no electric. I will need to tap off the stove plumbing, I think I could make it so the only down side would be needing to store the heater, and the initial cost and work.

Oh well, worse case I have to thaw connections to undo the sewer and water, secure everything, pull in the slides, and drive to the propane fill. It could be worse.

Yesterday we did get a drive in, we went to the Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge. Saw some bison. Drove the auto tour. It is different seeing prairie instead of ranch land. The Attwater Prairie Chicken is a little loud defenseless thing that has lost its habitat, and now is an endangered species. We didn't see any of them, but saw some big birds I can't identify. Mostly, we just went for a drive to get away from the frozen campground.

By the time we thaw, it will be time to start getting ready to move to Medina Lake. I did some map reading, I see lots of stuff around there that looks interesting.
