1st full day at Seminole Canyon State Park

Sure enough, the good folks at DelTex RV in Del Rio did a great job on our RV refrigerator. They diagnosed the problem and ordered the part. We had tried to disconnect the thermistor ourselves but the freezer part of the fridge would only get down to 46 degrees. Don't know how they did it, but they disconnected the thermistor and the fridge started getting cold. The freezer compartment now is freezing, and the refrigerator is cooling down. Sounds good, right? Well, unfortunately, the thermistor is a cross between an thermostat and a resistor, and the refrigerator will continue running and running, until it freezes everything in the refrigerator compartment, too. However, it's nice to have a freezer again! We will probably take the motor home in to Del Rio early next week to get the new thermistor put in. Then we HOPE the problem is solved. It's a small part and easy to replace.
Seminole Canyon is dry, dry, dry. The guajillo bushes are turning brown and dying. One good part about the drought is there's not too much mowing or brush trimming to be done, since nothing's been growing. It's mostly cloudy today due to Hurricane Jimena, but we've not received any rain. We enjoyed the quiet last night and slept good. We were glad to see our friends here at Seminole again, and looking forward to getting back into the groove and working hard once more.
Hasta la vista!
