A warmer night & morning - it was 62°F for my morning walk.
We are still having new arrivals - Another Escape 23 arrived last night & a Trillium pulled in this afternoon. A photo from last night's campfire, the "free" blue tarp, and folks making the trailer tours:

I gave a couple of tours of the Escape 21, and checked out some of the other trailers. A very light rain fell around 11:30; just a couple of drops.
An exciting afternoon. A very light rain started so I decided to run out the electric awning. I haven't used it in over a year, and when I turned on the power switch it ran out 1' and stopped. No problem - I'll get the remote and run it out the rest of the way. Problem - no remote. Not in the drawer it belongs, not on the hook Escape provides, not in any of the other possible locations. I tried shaking the awning so the automatic wind sensor would run it back in, but no luck. Put new batteries in the sensor, no luck. This would make an interesting drive back to NY.
With some bystander help found the manual cranking connection (at the rear of the awning) and with a 10mm socket managed to crank it most of the way closed. A bit of parachute cord to tie the front a bit more closed & I'm ready to travel. Hope the replacement remote is expensive enough that it will make me change to a manual awning. I never liked the electric awning but it was the only one available in 2017.
A great pot luck supper, as usual.
