A closer look at their rig
The last our breakfast meets with the last of the summer folks. Some people need to winter in places like FL and TX; this was our chance to wish them a warm season with no more hurricanes. Discussion turned to mining techniques and some thoughts about RV life. I have experience with neither, so my interventions were limited.
No matter. Once the dishes were cleared away, we headed over to take a closer look at their rig. A Roadtrek, which is competition to the Pleasure-Way. See, I’m always ready to learn about new stuff. This was my chance for an up and close look at the secrets of what lies beneath a plethora of panels, inside and out. There really are “black and gray water” handles. The generator is tucked up out of sight, but it still sounds like a generator if you stand close by. The kitchen is a galley,
suited to meals prepared in singles pots and washed up before the crud solidifies.
From my place in a captain’s chair, I imagined a new transceiver, tied to a fancy vertical on the bumper and it all made sense.
Given the bite from the wind, we bid a farewell for the next couple of hundred days and headed off to a sale from “far away”. One of the local church groups hosts an itinerant fair (we went last year, as well). I abstained from buying more fair trade cocoa and things made from recycled bicycle chains, but we still returned home with a basket (yes!) filled with our finds. I did meet up with a former students (how quickly four decades has passed), and the day finished in harmony.
