Those first pictures, the ones of the tarp and the giant flammable tank, are of our camp two nights ago. Sleeping in shifts is very Lord-of-the-Ring-sy, though its definitely not all its made out to be. Sleeping in a wrapped up tarp is just another part of the experience.
As if to apologize for the rude lawmen we encountered the other day, some local authorities kindly found us a place to sleep in the next town. A good night was made even better when we discovered the park we were being allowed to sleep in even had a covered pavilion, so we didn't even have to assemble out flies to stay out of the rain.
An enthusiastic mantis kept watch as we slept the night away; sheltered from the rain that came down in buckets.
Today we caught a local parade and left town with pockets full of candy that had been left on the roadside by some kids who don't know the value of free sweets.
We are thirty five days in, and ten days away from a rendezvous with my family. Its a waiting game now...
