Trouble (minor) In River City

The town of Mulege is on the river, thus the title. On the way to Requeson yesterday we stopped in Loreto and re-filled our two propane tanks as we were gettng low and expected to do a lot dry camping over next week. Unfortuantly our refrigerator hasn't worked at all on propane since that refill. We limped throught last night on battery power, but it didn't keep the frozen stuff frozen, and worst of all, the beer was no longer adequately cold. Our batteries were down to 11 volts this morning, so we decided we needed get to an RV park where we could plug in. So here we are at Villa Maria Isabel in Mulege. We asked the guy who manages this place if he knew anyone who might be able to fix the fridge, and he said he would call a guy and see if he can come out tommorow - Sunday. No word on this yet. So our plan from here is up in the air. We had a new Plan A, which included lots of dry camping off the main highway and crossing the border on March 8. If we don't get the fridge fixed so it will run on propane, we'll have to stay at RV parks where we can run it on electricity, and there aren't any such parks in the places we were going to stay. So we'll have to develop a new plan which may get us across the border a few days earlier so we can find an RV repair shop. If we do cross over sooner, our great friend Hobie gave us an Arizona Gazzetteer, with many great camp sites highlighted. We will keep you informed - the adventure continues. We remain happy, well and having fun!
