Mormon Island

Woke up relatively early, it was one of our coldest nights on this trip. Probably not 32, but certainly low 40s-high 30s. I got up in the middle of the night to turn the heater on and got nothing. No fan, no heat. I put some socks on and went back to bed...but knowing e would have to solve in the morning.
Fortunately in the park was a work-camper who also worked as a mobile RV tech. I walked over to his site to get the phone number off of his truck. We called and he came right over.
He was able to diagnose the problem, but we have a bad part that he could not readily find available in local RV stores. We got the part number and decided to get on the road and deal with it later. We do have our electric heater so we can always just look for electric only sites....
We spent the driving I-80 west. We had been this route coming out so pretty much just worked at getting to our destination, North Platte, for the evening. We spent the night at the Buffalo Bill Recreation Area. Actually kind of a nice, small, electric only site near the river. Maybe 4-5 other campers. This area is crazy with cranes in spring, directly in their migratory flight pattern. Would love to see.Read more
