Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

I try. For instance…
Did you know that marine/rv batteries filled with sulfuric acid start to emit a sulfur odor when overheated? Furthermore, did you know that when living in an rv every day you should occasionally hit the battery disconnect switch to make sure it’s actually in store mode whilst the trailer is hooked up to shore power? If you did know these things then why didn’t you tel me?!?!
I’ll be visiting the battery store n Mon to make sure the batteries are ok. This could be the perfect excuse to try and convince my wife we need to upgrade to lithium batteries. What’s a grand a piece between friends?

Chesapeake & Ohio Canal National Historic Park
In the 19th and early 20th century, the C&O Canal provided jobs and opportunities for people throughout the Potomac River Valley, from the tidal basin in Washington D.C. to the mountains of Western Maryland.
In a little less than one hundred years, the C&O Canal witnessed a race west by transportation giants, the growth and decline of communities and businesses along the banks of the Potomac River, fierce battles raging between a divided nation, and improvements in technology that made life along the canal obsolete.

That was the Potomac River. The canal is actually what the boat was sitting in. It's been abandoned as a canal for quite some time and the towpaths that were used by mules to tow the ships are now the hiking and bike paths. I was looking for a good pic of the canal and the locks but I must have neglected those. Sorry.
