          It’s fantastic.  I’m so glad we found these since transportation and storage of full size adult bikes was starting to seem like an unsolvable problem.

          The new problem however is I’m already looking at the higher end brands like Brompton for when I “grow out of” this one.  😠

            I know i'm not seeing Black denim seats and handlebar grips, right?

            those are great bikes, hopefully they have less "what now" issues than the Airstream.

              @jordanscollected those are indeed denim seats and grips.  I’m telling you these bikes are worth every penny.  So far I’ve been nothing but impressed.  I feel like I’ll never own a non folding bike  again.

                                This is actually one of my areas of expertise.  My wife just comes home from the grocery store and throws shit in there without even taking stuff out first and then she complains that nothing fits. It’s an art and a science.

                                        Only prolonged testing of the seating allows for the ergonomics to be evaluated objectively (and their subjective effect 🤫)!

                                        Airstream logo is in the right place.
                                        You should do this perspective more often in the upcoming weeks… @Matt
                                        Have a great trip!

                                          I fear that may be the best mood we see on a car trip for a while.  It went to shit pretty quickly after that pic.

                                          We learned a lot today.  Mostly that we need to leave the part of the country where it’s 98 degrees with 85% humidity.    It makes everything harder.  Also, I should have started drinking hours ago.  I’ll post more tomorrow with some detail on how things went today.  To wiped out now.  So far though, this life is promising to be exceptional.  Night everyone.

                                            It only took us 4 hours to get on the road yesterday.  Obviously that process will need some fine tuning.  Overall, it was a good trip.  Thankfully our destination was only 2 and a half hours from my father in law's place.  Any longer and we would have been in over our heads for our first adventure.  The Ford and the Tin Palace traveled well with no real hiccups to mention.  Driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was about as harrowing as it got.

                                            For months now Katie and I have been planning and researching how to back a 30' travel trailer into a campsite.  We don't have any "pull through" sites booked until we get to Mammoth Cave Nat'l Park in the fall.  I'm not going to say it was the work of seasoned veterans, but we got it in there and it didn't totally destroy our marriage.  The kids were exhausted from listening to podcasts and not doing anything useful all day so they both melted down intermittently throughout the evening.  Today we'll explore the campgrounds mostly because it's too god awful hot to do much else.  There's a lake here with canoeing/kayaking, a nature center and various trails.  We also have a pretty good pamphlet on all the other state parks in Delaware (which is the size of a small nudist colony and the people here are about as attractive) so we'll be checking them out over the next 2 weeks.  It might be too hot for the beach for a few days so we'll try to get there in due time.

                                            I'll start getting up pictures throughout the day and as we begin to explore so watch this space.
