2015 summer trip map Moon Mountain RV Park. It’s a nice little park.
A little tight,
… but very scenic.
A little tight, … but very scenic. We went south
We were going to go east through Eastern Washington and Idaho into Montana. Problem is, Eastern Washington and Idaho are on fire. It would take a couple days to get all the way through dangerous unhealthy air. So we went south. Out of Washington into Oregon. In Salem yesterday and today. Grants Pass on Friday and into California at Redding Saturday and Sunday. We haven’t decided on a route from there, but we mean to end up in Colorado to visit with the kids some more before we head all the way south to Texas again. 2015 summer trip map We hear there is a fair in town for the weekend. We presume these bunkhouse trailers are connected to that event. No sign of the pullers; just mobile affordable housing. They each have seven access doors. This one has three doors on one side.
…and four on the other.
This one has all seven doors on the same side.
The stacked windows on the other side suggest double bunks as well.

Asleep on the floor.
Legs twitching. She’s dreaming; running in her sleep. She’s old now; fifteen and a half. She doesn’t get around like she used to. It’s hard for her to see. She doesn’t hear much. She can’t jump. So we wonder. While she is sleeping, dreaming, is she young again, running free in the yard, leaping over obstacles, ears flying in the wind?...........
Good chance.

That never happens. I always know where I am and what direction I’m pointing; but not here. If I can’t see the water, the only way I can find my way around is with the navigator. Every time I guess which way I’m headed then check the compass heading, I’ve got it backwards. We’re lost in the hills and valleys. Once in a while though, Mount Rainier pops up to tell us which direction is south.
That helps. We walked into a teriyaki restaurant yesterday, and the girl at the counter looked up, looked at me, and said “chicken bowl.” “Spicy.” Of course she was right. We’ve been here long enough

He is totally busting every candidate for how campaigns are financed now; by billionaires. Trump is the only one willing to point that out and make the candidates answer the charge. Answer the question we all know is there but no-one wants to talk about. Every major candidate has a billionaire. Having money doesn’t guarantee getting elected, but you can’t get elected without money. What is a candidate’s first priority? Getting elected. Once they get elected, what is their most immediate next priority? Getting reelected. What do they have to do to get elected or reelected? Please their billionaire. So, really, when we elect a candidate, we’re actually just picking which billionaire’s interests get served. That sucks, and Trump says so. It’s not right. Trump doesn’t need a billionaire so we should elect him; except he does have a billionaire. He’s his own billionaire; he just cut out the middleman. If Trump gets elected, we’ll get what Trump wants. If Trump does get elected, he’ll probably plunge the United States, and maybe the entire world, into chaos trying to keep up with his disconnected ramblings. If, in the process of not getting elected, he can trash the billionaire model of political elections; make it a liability to be sponsored by a billionaire, he’ll have done the country a great service.
