Camping on Ice


Western Kentucky has been experiencing the worst ice storm of probably the last 100 years. Unreal the damage that has occured and it's almost entirely from lack of electric power and trees falling down. The sound of the limbs cracking under the strain of the ice the was eerie to say the least. It sounded like rifles going off everywhere, crrrraaaacck! Then "crash"as they fell. And fall they did, across power lines everywhere. We are now into our 6th day without power and no telling when it will be restored. A propane tank heater has kept us warm and a new generator lets us run lights and satellite TV, refridgerator, etc. If I would have known I was going to go on an extended camping trip, I would have packed a better. Patience is the word for the day as we wait for power trucks to come to our area.
