Golden


The wind storm is over. Now it's six degrees and snowing lightly. Much
nicer than the wind storm.

As far as we know, we did not sustain any wind damage. The data dish is
back up and functioning. It doesn't appear that any pieces blew off the
outside of the motorhome or any slide awnings ripped. They flapped and
buzzed and roared, but they didn't rip.

Some friends here had their door yanked out of their hands and twisted by
the wind. Other people froze up and couldn't get in or out and had to break
things. Some people's water systems froze and broke overnight. Giant brown
icicles under their rigs. Yuk.

The windstorm was rough on some of the fifth wheel trailers. It made them
creep until the jacks bent or broke. Fifth wheel trailers are not as heavy
as motorhomes.

Life on the road.
