Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

Good day to avoid the campsite…

[Matt]

@Giles:

They are missing a couple of flags…..

For real.

Time for school…

[Matt]

The Red Admiral.  Wikipedia describes it as “unusually friendly towards humans.”

[Matt]

I’m stuck with the difficult decision of letting it magically commune with me or gently removing it as it’s been there for about 5 minutes and it’s proboscis is tickling my leg.

@Matt:

and it’s proboscis is tickling my leg.

TMI…..

Red Admiral, is that not who your camping neighbours support, oh wait, that's the orange topped buffoon.....

[Matt]

Fortunately the weekend crew cleared out and took their misguided ideologies with them.  It should be relatively peaceful for the next few days.

[Matt]

The neighbors took up 3 campsites and kept walking through mine, like blatantly and repeatedly, not by mistake.  And their kids were really annoying.  More than mine, which is bad.

[Matt]

Day 2 of trying to dry this laundry.  No easy task when the humidity is 90%.

[Matt]

I almost bought a small folding table to go between the camp chairs.  My wife was shocked when I found an alternative solution that didn’t require my needlessly money…

[Giles]

Shocked? I hope in total amazement at your brilliance and creativity…..

[Matt]

Wives lack vision.  Of course if she were more clever she’d never have married me.

[Seul]

Or if her eyesight was slightly better…

[Matt]

I was better looking back then.  Or so I tell myself.

[Matt]

Home sweet home…

[Matt]

Delaware playgrounds are still closed which bites since they have a cool one here that’s in view of our site and could have occupied the girls indefinitely.  Good thing we brought our own…

[Matt]

Wrapping up our stay in Delaware.  Travel day tomorrow. Trap Pond St Pk gets my seal of approval but the weather made it tough to truly appreciate.  Cooler temps forecast for the next few 2 spots.  Fingers crossed.  Hopefully we’ll avoid the hurricane.

[Matt]

Also, that’s our garden gnome from home.  We’ve had him since 2007.  Now he gets to step out of the garden and see the country..

[Matt]

Arrived at the new spot in Pennsylvania on Monday afternoon.  About 2 hours before Isaias met us here.  We are now on an impromptu boondocking trip as the power went out on Tues morning almost immediately after the rain let up and seems unlikely to be restored whilst we’re here.  Yet another learning experience but we persevere.

Here’s a trail turned water flume following the storm and the biggest swimming pool I’ve ever seen…
