Fall/Winter is upon us, and we're still headed North - a long way North...

The temps dipped enough that we had to turn on the heater last night. 42 is cold enough for us to need to bump the two furnaces on, which means two things. 1-We're not anywhere near Assateague anymore (yes, we still talk about how hot that was). 2-it is going to start getting expensive and noisy. See, propane isn't included in the nightly hookups. I have a sneaking suspicion that's one of the reasons off-peak is cheaper.

I'm going to run out and get some electric space heaters so that we can use those during the day to keep things evened out. They should put enough concentrated heat out to keep the areas that need to stay warm toasty, without adding any expense on our stays. Then, we can use the furnaces at night to keep things safe. Right now I think that's a good plan - we'll see where I'm at in a couple of months. ;)

Good news is that at 42 this morning it wasn't that bad in the trailer. I deliberately have the thermostats set a little low (65) to see what we can live with. As anyone that's full-timed before will tell you, everything is a learning experience. I'm figuring that the girls will learn about staying under their blankets, that footy pajamas are the best thing ever, and what it's really like to live in the winter. The house was always warmer in the bedrooms, so when we had the thermostat set reasonably, it was usually warm, quite warm, at night.

I fear a little for Jill - she doesn't have any footy pajamas. Could be a long winter. :)
