Warm enough to spend som Then, the day we were supposed to leave an ice storm rolled through. Judging by the way the chain stores around town shutdown early you'd have thought it was the end of the world. Most of the locals seemed imperturbed, but for some people these days any slight inconvenience seems to be the end of the world. What actually happened was that overnight the world was coated in a thin layer of ice. Beautiful, cold, and windy, but hardly the end of the world. It was all gone by the afternoon. -We got up early to see the rime of ice on the marsh, the trees. The birds were imperturbed, picking in the shallows for food as they always do. +We got up early to see the rime of ice on the marsh, the trees. The birds were unfazed by the cold, picking in the shallows for shrimp and fish just as they always do. <img src="images/2022/2022-01-22_105735_huntington-ice-storm.jpg" id="image-2793" class="picwide" /> <img src="images/2022/IMG_20220123_094515.jpg" id="image-2784" class="picwide" /> <img src="images/2022/2022-01-22_105425_huntington-ice-storm.jpg" id="image-2775" class="picwide" /> +We were due to head out that day, back down to Edisto, but while the storm was mild, the cold was real. The high for the day was only 34 and there's no heat when the bus is running. Suffice to say that I wasn't really looking forward to the drive. But I didn't want to throw away the money we'd already spent on the reservation. I called the park headquarters though and a very nice ranger was more than happy to refund our reservation. I walked over the Huntington Beach park office and pretty soon we were good to stay for another week. + +It ended up being a cold week. We spent a good bit of time in the bus, with the heater cranked to high and still wearing jackets. It's a good cozy home though. + + |
