NEWS FROM CAMP WEBEGONE

There's nothing like the cold when you're out there living in it. It was 37 degrees when Rich and I woke up Friday, June 13 'bout 7 AM. 37 degrees with a soft Oregon rain falling. The high for the day was 52 degrees. I'd give anything for a cup of room temp., 65 degrees or so, water. The drinking water was so cold that it upset my stomach. Drinking heated water upset my stomach. I think my brain froze from breathing.

Crater Lake had blizzard conditions. Birds came down from the mountains.  To stay warm I wore:

Thermal top and bottom;

Purple fleece hat;

Flannel shirt;

Fleece vest;

Fleece jacket;

Black down coat;

Black heavy sweat pants;

Wool socks;

Black gloves.

I was a walking Michelin girl.

Eventually, early to mid evening, Rich fired up the generator and we headed indoors to the trailer, turned up the heat to about 60 degrees which felt toasty.

This cold spell was wedged between a warm spell and a hot spell. The hot spell has not arrived yet, but we are looking forward to thawing out when it does arrive.

Rich's comment: my wet cotton tee shirts took a long time to dry - three days.
