Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

Epic shots @Matt! My Dad visited the Corvette museum a year or so ago and also loved it!! He had actually just bought a corvette in Florida and was driving it home, so it was pretty neat for him. That R.F. exhibit is just icing on an already delicious cake!!

Evidently the museum is also a delivery hub for special order Vettes. Every few minutes some super happy elderly couple would drive a brand new Vette out of the lobby to the cheers and clapping of everyone. My kids were pretty impressed but I fear they’ll be disappointed when they don’t receive equal treatment when they drive their 5 year old Hyundai Elantras out of the used car lot.

I knew they could get into the brackish water but I figured KY might be out of their comfort zone. We did some research and found a popular urban legend about bulls in a KY lake so that’s likely their source.
We are heading towards the Gulf so we can add sharks to the list of things I hope the kids don’t encounter while playing.

FYI… laundromats in Henderson, TN are not trying to celebrate adequate COVID prevention practices. And I’m not sure why it was so crowded at 11 am on a Thursday.
The Piggly Wiggly (grocery store) a mile away wasn’t much better. Apparently exotic items like wheat bread and Greek yogurt were a little too erudite to carry. Plenty of pork rinds and ice cream though. And whosever heard of putting the honey on the frozen foods section? The south is a crazy place.
The new campground seems nice though. We’re just here for a week then off to Arkansas to check out Hot Springs Natl Pk. They have horseback riding here su we may let the girls do that. I’ll keep you posted.

I almost forgot!!! We invested in some Battle Born lithium batteries for the trailer. They were a grand a piece and we needed 2 but they won’t overcharge and should require a lot less charging and general maintenance. This opens us up to take advantage of more remote campsites once we get into less populated more wild areas. We’re pretty excited. I won’t say getting the batteries shipped to us then installing them was completely without hassle, but it’s done. And with only moderate nervous breakdowns. We even got a blue tooth attachment so we can monitor it’s levels on our phones. I should be able to treat you guys to some pretty epic landscape pics in a while.

Chickasaw St Pk is named for the Native American tribe that lived here. They were one of the last to leave the area in the late 1800’s. I’m sure their exodus was peaceful and mutually agreed upon.
The park is pretty nice. We were exploring today and found a few rescue birds.
This Great Horned Owl was hot by a car and can’t fly because of how it’s wing bones fused…
This Barred Owl did not like its Great Horned neighbor…
