Dear Folks
Greetings from very rainy Tombstone Territorial Park. It is supposed to clear tomorrow. They say that the rain will make the road to Eagle Plains difficult. We will take our time.
We have met many nice people. This morning it was Lu and some others from Montreal. They helped us get into a shelter where there was a roaring fire in the wood stove.
We came to the Interpretive Center to learn about the area. We also came because we have a problem.
We have a device that plugs into the front 12 volt outlet. We are supposed to be able to plug other items into it. Last night, when we turned on Miracle and tried to heat water by plugging that device into the converter, we started to smell smoke. We looked down and saw smoke billowing out of where it plugs in. It seems to have fried that outlet. You may be thinking, what a shame–no soup, tea, oatmeal. The biggest problem, though, is that we can’t charge Karma, our wheelchair. So that’s why we are here.
There are supposed to be a few mechanics along the way. So perhaps someone can fix it.
Being able to text today was an unexpected bonus. We don’t know that that will happen again. The curtain system, commode, and Jacqui bed are working great.
Wags and hugs.
