Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

Cool read. Happened on my birthday.

Now no matter how bad your bday is you can think of how it could have been worse.

Johnstown Inclined Plane.  Self proclaimed steepest inclined plane in the world, it was built to evacuate people due to the town’s propensity for flooding…

[Matt]

Found this gem.  Unbelievable…

Check out this slide that lets you out 4’ off the ground???

Beatiful @Matt

You think that’s good you should try their Sundowner.  It was a burger with mustard, chili sauce and onions topped with a fried egg.  I had that and the Coney Island dog.  Unreal.  Assuming you’re a meat eater of course.  If not it would be pretty horrible for you.

Great pics!..

Thanks everyone.  Johnstown was a real surprise.  We just wanted to check out the National Monument to get the kids’ Jr Ranger badges and we ended up making a full day out of it. Great little town.  We’ve been booking today. We’ll be in S Texas during Dia De Los Meurtos so hopefully there will still be cool stuff going on not totally ruined by COVID.  Our spot in Texarkana is an Army Corps of Engineers campground and the lake has alligators  :o

Sorry about the hiatus.  The first couple of days here in Ohio had some hiccups like a 24 hour torrential downpour and some minor identity theft issues to resolve.

Today we checked out Nelson Ledges State Park.  The trails ran through caves, caverns and crevasses .  Lots of climbing and squeezing…

Y'know… No big deal... 

[Matt]

Right, the usual.

Currently I’m keeping an eye on a suspicious and large dead branch looking over the Tin Palace.  I was alerted to it when the biggest pileated woodpecker I’ve ever seen started knocking big pieces of bark from it onto my roof.  As I type this there’s a cacophony of woodpecker sounds throughout the campsite.  It’s as if Alfred Hitchcock has remade The Birds entirely with woodpeckers.  I’d suggest it be called The Peckers but there’s probably already a movie with that name…
