We moved on from Fairmont Hot Springs after a delightful two days soaking in the hot springs, and getting massages to Idaho Falls, ID where we overnighted in the Walmart parking lot there. Had I known the overnight low was going to be 25 degrees I would have checked in at the Snake River RV Park Tom's friend owns, but the forecast was for 35......usually when I dry camp in temps under 50 degrees I start the generator and turn on the block heater for an hour before starting the 6V92. Well, apparently 25 degrees the generator wont' start....not sure why, but it wouldn't fire....it turned over just fine.....my batteries were at 89%, so there was plenty of juice. So, I went to plan B and pulled out my 1,000 watt Honda generator and plugged the block heater directly into it.....fortunately it handled the 9 amp draw just fine, and after 50 minutes I was able to start her up.
We moved down to Ogden, UT Saturday and are staying in a Passport America park for two nights at $13.50/night while we visit Antelope Island State Park, and Ogden old town, then on to my brother's home about 60 miles from here to redo the flooring, remove the couch and build a work station.
Life is good!
