Wrapping up the day the crew and I went to Patagonia Lake State Park . . . .
In the town of Patagonia we stop at the market.
I pick up a few items and, as we’re leaving, Roger notices a couple of the canine locals.
The pizza joint in town displays the creativity that makes Patagonia uniquely Patagonia.
The drive from Patagonia to our camp in Las Cienegas National Conservation Area is less than 20 miles.
Soon we are surrounded by waves of grass again.
Always a pleasure to return home.
Anticipating another warm day when we left this morning, the ceiling vent lid is up. As soon as we enter, I turn on the Fantastic Fan set to “Out” and also turn on the desk fan. Immediately it’s comfortable, even though the Best Little Trailer sits in full sun.
This is a new campsite for us!
I chuckle at the recent RVers in Cieneguita Camping Area. When the forecasters predicted a rise in temperature, everybody fled the area in anticipation. We wake up, go outside, and discover everyone is gone!
You know that makes me very happy.
One of my favorite places to camp is in an empty campground.
The crew and I stroll down the lane, looking over the choice of sites.
This one is good. Away from other sites. Has its own driveway. Large area for the boys to run. We ought to move here . . . .
By the time I pack up and hitch up, it’s 4:30.
“Gee, guys, this has got to be the shortest camp move in the history of RVSue and her canine crew. Also the latest in the day.”
I try to position the BLT where I like it, but somehow the site doesn’t have charm. Like Goldilocks, we don’t give up. We find that another site is “just right.”
Speaking of “just right” . . . .
Our bed is so narrow that it’s easy to roll out of it if the BLT isn’t level from side-to-side. It’s okay if the low side is the wall, but, if the low side is the hall, I spend the night fighting gravity.
Yes, I have fallen out of bed.
I have two pieces of wood, one thick and another thicker, that I can use to lift one side. However, sometimes only a little bit of lift is required.
That’s when I use these Jack Pads
Slide in the chocks (below) and the BLT is leveled “just right!”
In some situations, I dig a hole and bring the tire into it in order to level.
I do that when I don’t want to use a thick board on the door side which would raise the step too high. Not good. Jumping up and down due to a high step might result in a fall.
In the case shown above, only a slight lift is accomplished on the door side. After you’ve set up a few camps with your trailer, you’ll know what method is best for what is indicated by the bubble in the level.
Of course, some folks have fancy, electric leveling systems . . . but what’s the fun in that? Haha!
Reggie and Roger love our new campsite!
Since no one is here and we’re far from the road, they can race around free.
As the sun nears the horizon, the boys use these precious, pre-bedtime moments for more fun.
After much racing round, they tire themselves out. Such dirty boys!
“Come on in! Supper!”
Dirty legs wiped clean with a wet rag, kibble gobbled up, drink slurped, and into bed they go. The sun hasn’t set yet and already they’re nodding off.
This was a big day for them . . . the trip to the park, a new home to explore, running free.
