Woke up to 41° inside Clifford. Frost on the windows for two days in a row. Gayla made coffee and we slowly packed up. We left camp at 8:40am. Headed out to just exploring the area. We stopped at Sheep Creek Lake to check it out. Very picturesque. Found us a few more campsites around …
September 5 – Day 62
Woke up to 43° inside Clifford and about 36° outside. Today I worked on getting all media files off the cameras and organized on the hard drive. Edit a few pictures. I also removed the diesel heater and cleaned all the soot from the combustion chamber. It’s amazing how quickly that built up when it …

August 27 – Day 53
Woke up smelling the diesel heater fumes. Not the normal fumes but different. Something was not right. I got down to 45° inside Clifford last night. We have never done anything to this heater yet. So it’s probably time to service it. The heater wasn’t igniting. It was warming up just no ignited to blow …
August 26 – Day 52
Wasn’t terribly chilly last night. It was 45° inside Clifford. Gayla tuned on the heater when she got up. We had a soggy overnight with the rain so it was a little slow getting down from the trailhead. I pointed Clifford back the direction that we camp in from yesterday. Once we got back to …
