Wyoming Weather

Camping at Curt Gowdy State Park (or anywhere in WY) provides a good test of my Airstream. Since I arrived last Wednesday, the area has experienced stormy weather with mostly cloudy skies, cool nights, intermittent (sometimes intense) rain, and strong gusty winds. I've seen several campers lose their tents due to the winds  and while the gusts sometimes rock my AS, I feel safe and secure inside during these storms. The lack of sun for two full days caused me to worry about having enough power but the system is working fine and my 4 6-volt batteries have enough juice to power critical 1500 watt appliances (e.g., tea kettle and induction stovetop burner). Last night the furnace ran much of the night because the lack of sun during the day and strong winds at night cooled night time temperatures (Laramie was 48 this morning). When I think about the options I considered (e.g., truck camper) and see other campers in tents, I'm very thankful to have my AS:)
