Arctic Escape 2025

 After starting out the New Year with single digit temps and an inch of snow it was decided we would head down to the gulf coast.  Nothing exceptional but the promise temperatures above freezing.  Our plan was to leave on Friday but, another arctic blast and significantly more snow was forecast to begin on Thursday prompting us to scramble out Wednesday.  We're stopped at our favorite launching off point, Maumelle Park, just outside of Little Rock.  Watching the current forecast, Little Rock is expecting snow and ice to begin Thursday afternoon.  If we get this right, We'll be headed southeast early and should be out of the way of the snow and ice long before it arrives.  I expect we will still see some precipitation but, closer to the gulf coast it should only be rain. 

I filled the water tank about half way before we left home, purged all the air from the lines and turned on the water heater.  After several days below freezing, water was obviously unavailable in the park but all we needed was a spot to park with an electrical hookup. More to come, Thanks for dropping in.
