Much like the time we lost a tire in Donner Pass and lost a transmission in the Black Hills, sometimes things go wrong.

Sometimes pieces of the trailer rip off on the highway, and the Renaissance Man and his minions have to fix it up.

And sometimes the bathroom floods the trailer and you have to disinfect everything you own that was at floor level.

And sometimes the van doesn’t work right and it has to be fixed.

And that’s all we’re saying about THAT.

This post is intended as a little boost of contentment for everyone who comes up to us and says “I’d love to eave all my problems behind and be on vacation all the time like you are.” If that’s not enough, we’ll post a few pictures of Steve emptying the tanks at the facility whose septic overflowed. Blech.
