From Wikipedia:
Hobcaw Barony, also known as Bellefield Plantation is a 15,560 acres (63 km2) tract on a peninsula called Waccamaw Neck between the Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean in Georgetown County, South Carolina. Much of Hobcaw Barony is south of US Highway 17. The land was purchased by the investor, philanthropist, presidential advisor, and South Carolina native Bernard M. Baruch between 1905 and 1907 for a winter hunting resort. Later it was transferred to his eldest child, Belle W. Baruch. Upon her death in 1964, it was transferred to the Belle W. Baruch Foundation for a nature and research preserve. It consists of over 40 buildings that represent the 18th and 19th century rice cultivation and 20th century winter resorts. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on November 2, 1994.

This morning.
Time: 7:14 am
Outdoor Air Temperature: 32 F
Airstream Indoor Temperature: 49 F

(The Vornado was just turned out - it heats up the Airstream quickly!)

As made evident by the temperatures above, I haven't fully dealt with night-time temperatures inside of the Airstream. But it really hasn't been a problem - as long as it's warm when I go to bed, I've yet to wake up during the night cold. In the morning, I just turn on the Vornado - and then head out with The Pointer Sisters and Stan - and by the time I get back inside (15-20 minutes later) - the place is already much warmer. It's not difficult to heat a 216 square foot home. Which all begs the question: will I be able to make it through a coastal South Carolina winter without ever turning on the heat at night?
Okay, I've got real work to do.
