First World Problems

So, we’re "camping” on this trip, but hardly what they’d call it 30 years ago.  

We spent last night at an RV park right in Yellowstone and had to make do without WiFi or television access.   We woke up on a sunny 34 degree morning, turned the furnace on, and were horrified to find that our single cup Keurig coffee maker wasn’t working.  

Squeaking by with only one bar of access on our cell phones, we called the 800 number for Keurig emergencies and learned that we should be using room-temperature water (hey, we’re camping with a refrigerator full of bottled water in our RV – where would we get room temp water?).  We did the only logical thing for people that are truly roughing it – we heated our water in the microwave before pouring it into the Keurig.   Problem solved with ingenuity, and with no dependence on technology!  

Ready for another day of life in the wilds...
