Thank you for that great report. I was watching as you posted last night.

Very sweet.
I was confused on the burro sticker thing though. Was that burro dead? Was the stick places on a dead one as a joke or what? Confused...

Do you know any more back story about why some of them choke? That tidbit caught my curiosity...

Right on. Yeah when we were in NV a few years back we had one come check us out and found it humorous.

Double D.
This is my rookie year as retiree and that gives me the luxury of waiting for good weather and the full moon to do SE Utah, but the nights probably will be cold. Did you determine the problem with your furnace? That's just rude to wake up to no heat and fresh snow. Were you able to make the entire trip on one bottle of propane?
Appreciate the tip on primitive camping near the Goblins. We will check it out.

I had a propane bottle that I estimate was over half full when I set out. Due to the consistent cold weather, I ran out about a week into the trip. I had it filled at a propane dealer in NM by a guy who was super pissed that I came in 10 minutes before they closed. He didn't open the bleed valve when he filled it. I'm not sure if that makes a difference but I'm wondering if that allows air to enter and remain in the tank? That is the only thing I can think of. The propane quit flowing that night and I thought the tank was empty again. Filling it again (properly this time) revealed I was over half full and it worked fine after that.
Conclusion: I really don't know.

I bow down to and applaud your photography DD. :thumb:
Passed a link to this thread on to a few of my non-FWC owning buddies because it was so well done. They raved about it as well.
Just awesome -
