Progress in a forward direction


Productive, if exhausting day. 
Hot weather and I don't agree. 
Funny for someone who loves the desert as much as I do. 
I just like cool deserts. 

Replaced the plug from the trailer to the car. Took way more effort than it should have. But it works.

Acquired an electrical access door that should work as a small baggage door on the trailer, big enough to grab a can of soup through it. 

Desanded and repacked the car. Tomorrow the trailer. 
The hottest day so far.  Where are my mountains?

Tomorrow I'm off to Austin to pick up a shade awning at REI (Austin is the closest REI) and make a day trip to Pedernales State Park (a magical place).

And in other news, my traveling companion feels at home in San Antonio, and will be staying here when I move on in a few days. I will miss him, but am also excited at continuing my adventure on my own. It feels like the trip is beginning all over again. I am grateful beyond words for his presence and gentle assistance these past 6 months in wrapping up my past life and getting me on the road. He is my spirit brother for all time, and I am privileged to have him in my life.

  1. Perhaps his presence was part of the bridge you needed to set out on your own? I'm glad it has been a good adventure for you both, and excited to see how it goes when you fly solo....and, of course, excited to see you down the road!

  2. Yes, I think so. I was feeling sad and scared yesterday, but that is passing, and I am looking forward to being on the road again.
