The Sun Also rises

A coyote just wandered down the road in front of the Earth Module. Sunshine is spilling over the Superstition mountains.

After breakfast the Earth Module will head down the mountain to the Salt River campground. Kadizzle and The Commander made a prelanding check yesterday. The old gang is there and the place is practically empty. Being weaned from electricity will be difficult. All power will not come from God, but from the Honda 2,000 generator. God will provide sunshine and other amenities.

Temperatures could be improved, but 60 in AZ beats 12 in Hazen, ND. The Earth Module wine cellar was stocked at bargain prices yesterday, along with other supplies, so this morning it is just a matter of filling the water tank and hooking up.

Although usually a fairly shy person The Commander quickly becomes super Commander when she wants to see another camper layout. Yesterday she cajoled some people with a small camper into a tour. RV people are like sailors, always checking out all the options on other models. The camper The Commander spotted was an Oliver, this is a rare bird. First one either of us has ever seen. The Oliver is a copy of the classic Casita. The Oliver stole most of the Casita ideas and improved on them. A very well built and nice little camper, but very expensive. The Oliver has plenty of ground clearance and would be perfect for going way back in the boonies. Time for the second cup of coffee in the sunshine north of Mesa.
