Soggy Start / Ice Cubes

It is pouring down rain, glad I put the chairs and the fake grass away yesterday. When I took Fred out this morning it was cloudy, but has been every morning so far. I made my cup of coffee and sat down to check e-mail read some blogs when I thought I heard rain. The temp dropped 5 degrees in nothing flat and then the rain really came down and the wind picked up too. But the sun was shining so I figured it would stop soon.  Well it has been raining hard for 2 hrs now. And it sure doesn't look like it is going to quit anytime soon. I am getting the inside packed up and having another cup of coffee. The electric  heater is going full blast still as it is 45 degrees. Luckily I remembered I bought a rain poncho for just this kind of thing. I just hope it stops long enough to dump the tanks.
More later.

As soon as the rain quit I unplugged  put Fred in his crate and headed for the dump station. I had filled 4 gls of water from the MH sink to finish rinsing the black tank. Since I had more water in  the fresh tank I really flushed out the black tank. Now I don't know if the ice had anything to do with it or not. Since I didn't dump when I got there my friend said I didn't have to. What the ice is suposed to do is knock everything loose. I also put some cleaning solution in the clear water tank since that had never been cleaned by me since I bought the rig. So anyway the black tank looks really clean and all my tanks are empty and clean.
I am back in the driveway and I am really thinking about maybe putting it in storeage because getting it in the driveway is a pain. The only thing with storage is the sun. Here it is protected. ARGH just another thing to complicate my life. And yes if it sounds like I am keeping her I am. I will figure out something else for The White Mountains.
 Now for some pictures of the mountains after the rain and as I was leaving the campground.
