Another relaxed (read lazy) day. Mid morning we drove down into town and found a laundry that did our washing. While the washing was in progress we visited an internet cafe, bought some groceries and Nina had a wonderful time buying a truck load of souvenirs.
Back at the campground, I spent some time working on the refrigerator. We have been having a problem with it since Calgary. When switched to operate on propane it takes a long time and many attempts to ignite. I have checked the gas flow by lighting it with a match, and can see a spark from the igniter. So I was stumped. And to make matters worse yesterday the thing would not ignite at all except manually with a match. So it looked like I was going to have to light the refrigerator with a match for the rest of the trip.
But this morning I got an email from the Tiger group on yahoo that suggested cleaning the gas jet - and that seems to have worked. It might not sound like much to you folks living at home with hi tech appliances but this is a big success. Now all I have to do is work out a reliable way of getting the propane tank refilled.
