to Algonac Glassic Egg Scramble

I drove today from home to Algonac State Park, north of Detroit, about 330 miles. My trailer has been sitting for 6 months, so she got a much needed bath at a truck wash along the way. 

For the uninitiated, an explanation of the name of this rally may be in order. "Glassic" of course is a play on the word "classic" & also references "fiberglass", the material our trailers are made of. And, fiberglass trailers are referred to as "eggs", hence the rest of the name. 

The cutest rig in the park is not a fiberglass trailer, but this setup. The owner completely built out this rig; they sleep in the van, & the trailer serves as a kitchen, dining room, & living room. They have a bathroom set up in a tent to the left of the trailer.

While pumping gas there, a heavy duty truck camper pulled up next to me. Even more than the rig, the map on the side caught my eye. This guy has been on the road for 15 years & been to all of the places on this map - amazing! I got so distracted by the map that I forgot to take a pic of the rig. He bought the truck in Australia with another camper on it. That camper fell apart in South America, so he took the truck to the Netherlands where they built him a custom expedition-style rig. He's now back "home" in northwestern Canada for a while. A short distan...

After a lovely visit with my sister-in-law early in the day, my brother-in-law, a niece & her husband arrived from Texas in time for dinner. Then we went to Longwood Gardens (outside Phila) to take in the gardens & then a fountain/lights/music show. A grand day.
