Day #3 & #4 Running from the COLD!!! 12th and 13th

We are up early and the tempeture is 14 degrees and a good wind.. Walk faster Pacer........ I was ready to leave Amerillo for sure. We did hear two Great Horned Owels all night and saw them this morning, was pretty neat getting to see and hear them. We did get off and on the road by 0815 and headed west to Albuquerque and Kirtland AFB. Down the road about an hour and crossed over into the Mountain time zone and back to 0815 how great is that?. The drive went real well and we only stopped one time to let Pacer walk. As we got close to our stopping point we decided to fuel up before we got to Kirtland as we are going to spend at leased a week here. Directions to the FAMCAMP on Kirtland were good but after pulling through the VERY Tight Gate, I decided to miss the turn and off throughout the middle of the base do we go all 60 plus foot of us, not a real good fuzzy feeling trying to find a place to turn around but we did and got checked in at around 12:30. As we got to the park and out to check in we realized just how hard the wind was blowing and how COLD it was here. Got set up and in for a rest, the wind was blowing so hard it was rocking the RV. Took Pacer out for a walk and low and behold this place is FULL of sand briars very hard on his feet and my hands. Down to 19 degrees but the wind stopped blowing so all is good. Went out to hook up to the water and fill our tank and found that our neighbor had left his hose hooked up and caused the faucet to be frozen. I had to thaw the faucet in order to get our water but was able to get it done. Pacer and I went out mid morning walk and on our return saw water poring out the side of the RV at the back of the refrigerator. Panicked of course but soon found that the inlet water valve for the ice maker had failed. Pulled old part and found one at Camping World. Donna and I went to CW and got the valve stopped and had a good lunch at Red Robin then home. I replaced the valve and only had to go out to Home Depo 1 time to complete the job. All is well and we have ice a making. OH I for got last night I messed with the tv's till I finally got the over air antenna to work so TV... YEA?...
