262nd (5th in the Airstream) FTX – Aguirre Springs

Nice spot for a quick day trip (for us) to a week. Secured Site 28. Our usual. Pulling in vs backing in was more level.
A lot more crowded than I thought it would be for such a dark and dreary day. High was 50 for a few minutes. Most of the day at 45, requiring the use of the heater. Might as well run that through its paces. Took 5 attempts (4 starts per attempt) to fire up without the error 29 code. This error code can usually result from air in the fuel lines from a bumpy ride. For those not in the know, this is the Timberline 2.0 hydronic furnace/water heater. It gets its fuel from the vehicle’s gas tank, not propane. The furnace heats up a glycol that then gets pumped through a heat exchanger. Some high-end shit. A typical unit runs about $4,500, not including labor/installation.
Due to unfortunate placement of the temperature sensors, the turning point of the temperature sensors don’t align with actual temperature of the coach where you are sitting at or in the bedroom. Keeping the rear (bedroom) thermostat set to 77 and the front (dining/galley) to 75 maintained about 65° in the coach, which is what I like. Overnight low was 41°
Bailey and Lottie hiked with us the 4.7 mile hike starting from our site and walking the Pine Tree Loop and back. Everything was so green. I don’t remember everything ever being so green here like this. The creeks were flowing fast and swallowed some of the trail in places.
