We stay in a place for a few days. We see weather coming. We look at the forecast for a hundred miles in every direction. We go to the most favorable. Now we’re in Louisiana.
We wake up, have some coffee, work a bit, take a walk, and take advantage of every internet opportunity. (Sometimes that requires a trip to the closest town.) Life around camp, the small things take up more time, and much of the day. There is one configuration of the van for driving, another for hanging out around camp, and another for nighttime. Each transition takes a surprising amount of time shuffling stuff. I make the coffee every morning. We got a Coleman camp stove, and now Judy fixes us something for dinner most every night. (Sometimes we still eat dinner in town, early in the day.) We watch the sunset (It’s only five o’clock.), then write a trip report (It won’t go out because whatever internet we can get has gone away by then. Who knew the internet would only work while the sun was out? We might need to take a look at Starlink.) It’s cool at night so we’re back inside. We have shore power so we can run the space heater. We turn everything off at night and sleep at whatever the outside temperature is. It works.
Jimmie Davis State Park in Louisiana. It was a little wet when we got here. (But not crowded.)
Then it cleared up.
