My attempt to skip winter by coming to California has officially failed.  Temperatures in the low 30s at night, barely breaking 50 during the day.  Even in propane-conservation mode (short showers, water heater only on in the morning), I’m burning a tank of propane every week.  Magic seems to have realized that we’re goign to have to wait this one out, so he sleeps all day.

Tomorrow the forecast includes some hurricane force winds and 3″ of rain.  The plan was to do some hiking this weekend and explore some state parks, but, so much for that.  (The alternative plan was to go to LA, but packing up the rig for a three day weekend and 700 miles didn’t seem worth the trip.  Will head down there for a month later this spring)

But, there are certainly worse places to be than camping in the woods, next to a stream, with a funny eared dog.
