The Lot, however, was clear of snow on Sunday, and in the middle of an early spring that comes this time of year to 9,600 feet elevation.<\/p>\n

On Monday I towed The Box up to The Lot and set it up for the summer. When I went to bed it was Spring. Overnight it snowed:<\/p>\n

I was not expecting the white stuff but it did make for some interesting photos.<\/p>\n

The flag holder is new this year. Also new is a better way to add water to The Box’s water tank. In the past I had to use a funnel and pour water into the tank one gallon at a time. This year I bought a 12-volt RV water pump, made\u00a0up a long power cord that plugs into the truck’s power socket, and added a couple food-grade hoses. The result was a water transfer system that made it much easier to get water into the tank. When dealing with around 46 gallons, still pumped by hand, anything that makes this chore easier is appreciated!<\/p>\n
