Yikes!, Rockhound State Park, Deming, New Mexico, February 5, 2009
We do like hookups in the winter
For the electricity mainly. Electric heat is much pleasanter than propane. And propane can be a real headache to find sometimes. Not here, I know where to find propane in Deming but in general. Plus one has to break camp to go get the tank refilled. I only have a ten gallon tank on this rig and that's only enough to heat the rig for four or five nights in the 30 degree weather we are getting here.

The Bottom Line
...if you’re young, dear God, don’t try to live the way your parents did. You don’t need three bedrooms, although a roof is nice. Get the hell outa Dodge and stir things up. Leave! Adapt! Believe in yourself! Have fun! The bottom line is, do I have shelter and enough to eat. Everything else is optional. EVERYTHING! There are no rules!!! Just keep it simple: get that first bit down, no matter how, and you can get creative with the rest.
