Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

We haven’t been hiking in a long while. Cleburne State Park was a great way to get ready for Big Bend Natl Pk. We’re staying in the park for that one, our first Natl Park camping. In the meantime today was a great way to experience some hiking that was a lot different than what we’re used to…

Waco Mammoth National Monument is an active archaeological dig site for Colombian Mammoths, the largest of the mammoths. These fossils have only partially absorbed the minerals from the rock so they are still part bone. This was a nursery herd and it’s they only one found in North America…

A well run campaign Mr Trump. One conducted with honor, integrity and dignity. Good luck in your future endeavors.
Now that history has been made let’s see more firsts when we find out just how much damage a lame duck president can actually do in 2 and a half months.
I'm holding my breath until Mcconnell or someone from the Trump camp admits defeat.

Back on topic for a minute. We accomplished quite a bit this weekend. The aforementioned mystery leak that was soaking the bathroom floor turned out to be a failure in our city inlet. It only took several weeks of troubleshooting and $150 for an RV repairman who came highly recommended but ended up not knowing or doing shit but we finally fixed it for a total of $35 and some elbow grease. This is the way. The exhaust fan on our composting toilet gave out. This fan is what draws the odor out of the bin and redirects it into our black tank. The past week or so has been unpleasant to say the least. The mfg sent us two new fans for free. I guess that’s the least you can do when you charge $1000 for a plastic bucket that you poop in. We also sent in a ton of paperwork to get the truck and trailer registered in TX. Once we do that we can get our licenses and be done with TX for a while, no offense. @Chris was right, there’s not much here and I’m ready for a more diverse and engaging landscape. This campground is a bit of a soul sucker too. There’s no other campers here and the facilities are pretty basic. This should have been a 1 week spot, not 2. We got a lot done though and we’re looking forward to moving further into the dessert on our way to Big Bend.
Totally unrelated. We watched The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix last night. Check it out. Tonight, all Mando!

That might be a while. On a lighter note there’s a cardinal that believes his friends are trapped in my car mirror and window he comes back every day to try to free them…
If your truck is parked all day, wrap the mirror with a bag. It’ll save the cardinal from unneeded stress.

That is a good tip @motojobobo thank you. We did this yesterday as a matter of fact but he returned several times and tried to remove the covering. After that he moved onto his friend trapped in the the rear widow.
This morning he was on our neighbor's truck.
I feel bad for him. It occurred to me I've never seen a cardinal witrhout a mate before.
