Intermission

Dates: 01-01-2021 through 03-03-2021

We arrived back in Northern Arkansas to take care of some maintenance and feature changes.   First up was testing out our new inflatable kayak.  With drop-stitched high pressure construction, it was a significant upgrade over our old model.

Jen made up a digital controller for the fridge which gave us more control over the freezer temperatures.

Winter is the best time for hiking in the Ozarks, so we took a break to visit the area Buffalo National River.  Lots of fun limestone topography.

The mild winter gave way to brutal cold and snow with a giant wave of polar air that descended for a week.  (Thanks, climate change!)  It was warmer at the north pole than at 45 degrees north latitude!  The winter mods got a good test at 10F. They worked great, and nothing froze.  Though we had some condensation issues in a few spots, which will need to be remedied at some point.
