Shattering!

Hour thirty six on our adventure, and it's already been jampacked! First, know this...we love and adore our son. We love his inquisitiveness, his need to find out the way things work and his delightful curiosity. Now if he could just curtail that for the next month.

After a seven hour drive we arrived at gorgeous Trinity Lake (95 degrees - you'll soon find out this is a thing with me. I hate heat) in the Trinity Alps, pulled into our dirt filled campsite (I also hate dirt) and headed off for a swim. Got back for cocktail hour, gorgeous grilled steaks and the obligatory smores.

Bedtime, and Cal is playing with side window on the Airstream. Instead of operating both handles at once, he torques down on one handle and the glass blows out like an explosion, with fragments extending well into the next campsite. We are left with a screen. Which made for a cooler night (see heat note above). And an unscheduled stop in Eugene, OR tomorrow where a huge new window was overnighted from the Airstream factory in Wisconsin. I think they feel so bad for us that it will be free. I think. Did I mention how we love our son?

PS - I did the window repair myself with a handy roll of duct tape - it blew out on Hwy 5 30 miles short of Ashland, OR. Good times!
