Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

This thread is awesome. Rox's comments got a literally laugh from me over this way. Lovely cactus shots at sunset today .

Right now (8:22 am) they’re loudly yelling at each other that the other one needs to learn manners.  They’ve been doing this for 20 minutes.  Before that they were eating cereal.  That sounds mundane but the sound of the little one eating makes me want to kill myself.  Good morning everyone.

Katie just came into our room and asked me to open the jelly jar before she smashes it on someone’s head.  Day’s shaping up to be pretty special.  ???

[Matt]

Dry camping this week at Tonto.  No electric or water.  I actually don’t mind because we have to put away the Keurig and get out the French press…

[Matt]

Welcome to the voyage 277.  Really just shoving them in there now…

So much awesome in such a small space

[Matt]

Ha, that’s just what’s shoved in the tiny closet.  There’s also stuff shoved in the tiny space under the bed, tiny overhead compartment over the bed, various cubbies and baskets throughout.  I long for a walk-in closet.  I may have to start putting stuff in the freezer soon.

Lots of Palo Verde trees at this spot.  Palo Verde translates to “green wood.”  That seems like lazy taxonomy to me…

Nice octi….

[Matt]

It was a gift from a friend

Time to open this totally normal size can of cherry stout from Belfry Brewery in Cottonwood.  It smells amazing…

My girls are a bit older than yours but it doesn't stop - they just refine their technique.

Noticed the Parks Project sticker - that was founded by two guys I used to work with, a great little company!

Thank fuck, we only had an @Alex

[Matt]

Yeah, we thought two would only be twice as hard.  We were pretty misguided there.  Thankfully I took the appropriate steps to prevent a 3rd interloper.

Their particular brand of obnoxiousness becomes more nuanced each day.

Parks Project is awesome.  Whenever they sell them at the park I try to get a shirt.  The one I got at Joshua Tree is a favorite.  They had to drive an hour to a closed visitor center to get my size and bring it back for me. I’m sure I only wanted that one because it was the only one I couldn’t have.

Lost Dutchman State Park today…

[Matt]

Gray fox.  One of three.  My phone camera stinks though.
