Photo Shoot, Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu NM, December 22, 2009
Brrrrr... 1:30AM and it's already 5 degrees below zero. Last winter, camped down at Leasburg Dam State Park, I met fellow fulltimer Jan, living in his Honda sports car, who observed that the temperature drops noticeably an hour or two before sunrise. Will tonight's low break LD's record 10 below set just last night? [6:30AM] Nope - didn't happen - in fact it warmed up a tad to -3 degrees.
Where will I find warm enough weather in the next week to thaw the tanks in time for the next dump? I may have to take a southern route to Las Vegas this week to get enough hours above freezing to thaw the tanks. The shorter I-40 route won't see much above 32 degrees for most of the way.
