Short thoughts

1. TO WASH OR NOT TO WASH?

Mud on the Rolling Steel Tent makes it (and me, by extension) look rugged and adventurous. We don't need no stinkin' roads. But it also makes it (and me, by extension) look unfit for proper society. Don't want the normal world thinking we nomads are bums. They make it hard enough for us already.

2. THE DARNED SIDE EFFECTS

I like to drive with the window open whenever conditions allow. I like the fresh air and feeling connected to my surroundings. I like to get the stale air out of the Rolling Steel Tent (particularly when there's an accumulation of laundry). But it's spring, which means pollen. Runny nose, watery eyes... I need to get more tissues. Or accept that it's not currently "when conditions allow" and keep the window closed.

  1. If you're headed to Page, a mud caked vehicle will fit right in. Say "Hi!" to Lake Powell if you get over that way. I miss our years of houseboating there.

    1. I'm camped on the shore at Lone Rock. I'm planning on sort of a lap (via land) of Lake Powell.
