Back to camping

[mtbc]

We returned to camping last weekend and were quite lucky with the weather, the loch looked beautiful on our first morning and we saw small fish in the shallows. I am out of shape or just worn out though, I was very appreciative of having limited duties with the teardown in particular. I slept well, wrapped in my sleeping bag inside a sleeping bag atop a new air mattress. The sunny afternoons could be warm but the nights still get chilly. While different absolutely, I was reminded of the relative cooling when I was outside Tucson in the desert after night fell. In a different life, I might have ended up living in a trailer in the Sonoran Desert but that's something the multiverse can explore on my behalf. R. is excellent at organizing our camping, I am lucky to get to follow their lead.

I got a call from my brother yesterday evening. He was driving up the interstate last night towards his camping spot north of Phoenix, glanced in his rearview mirror and saw his trailer was at a 45 degree angle to his truck.

Wind had caught it, and ended up tearing off about a quarter of the rear wall. Total loss, along with a substantial loss of his possessions. Fortunately no one behind him was hit by debris.

The trailer wasn't expensive, but it is basically his home, so pretty serious stuff.

My goodness, that's bad, glad he's okay but sounds like rotten luck indeed.
