RE: The preceding post.

Much fun, history and yum accompanied my recent billet.

Fun:
Friday was our Ride Wherever day. We pointed the bikes toward some superlative rural lanes and eventually ended up at, of all places, Camp David...where we managed to not get arrested by the patrolling authority after, ahem, not noticing the Closed Road signage. :angel:

History:
The focal point of the annual rally is to attend Ranger-led lectures at the selected Civil War battlefields at which said lectures occur. On the docket this year was Antietam (Sharpsburg, Maryland) and Harper's Ferry, West Virgina.

Harper's Ferry is a large and excellent preservation of the community at a very discrete point in time.

Antietam occupies a distinct and very sober position in this country's history. E.g., "Bloody Lane". 6,000 men died in just 3 hours in this small space.

Yum:
Friday and Saturday include at least one nice meal at a restaurant. I steered the group toward a proper German restaurant in Hagerstown, MD. I supped on a superlative Ulmer Metzgerplatte; the others favored combination platters.

It was hot as balls on Saturday, so I spent too much on a mint chocolate chip ice cream cone that, it must be said, really hit the spot.

------------------------

Wanting to depart camp at the ass crack of dawn on Sunday morning, I loaded the rig on the trailer Saturday evening. All I had to do was collapse the tent after my morning constitutional, and I could get on the road. That's just what I did. The drive home was sunny and pleasant, with light traffic.

The Jeep ran superlatively, and arriving home is always a nice feeling.

Spent the weekend 20 miles or so down on Padre Island National Seashore with friends and some of our children—

Saturday morning the clouds and colors were mesmerizing as dawn broke.

We are still getting to know our Hiker Trailer, very few mods planned: added an ARB rack and moved the spare up and back reducing tongue weight while adding storage; remounted the the water heater so it doesn't block our rear view while driving; added a radiant heater to temper dressing on the snow frosty mornings.

During the day all kinds of birds and creatures pass by

For this father no better to share the day with children and friends: camping and Jeeping where few folks venture—
that’s what I’m saying. Looks like the weather was more favorable than when we were there in January.

Nice photos . You always do nice work behind the camera.

The weather was perfect for Father's Day weekend. Close to hot, sunny with a constant onshore breeze. Relax, swim, throw dog, cool beverage; repeat. Your weather was rough—

Thank you. Like you I enjoy sharing what I think I see—

Poor dog. I'd throw a stick, not the dog, but that's just me. 😁
This dog essentially lives with a ball in her mouth. It sits next to her bowl while eating or drinking. 'Throw the dog' is not a once a day event.

She chases any ball thrown, not a stick, though she will chase a frisbee—

Out and about a few weeks ago for the first Jeep camping trip. Completely disconnected and the only signs of civilization were the porta potties and occasional jet way overhead.

Still need to improve on some organization but it worked and didn't seem too loaded down. Our Promaster van is much more comfortable to haul way more crap but we would have issues getting back in here even though there is a 'road'. Always a trade-off. Right now I'll take the Jeep and the places it has taken us this year so far.

She looks like a great pup.
