| Okay, now you see the trout. |
We were now all burners, and after some exploratory driving we settled on J Street between 7:30 and 8:00 to make camp. With Freeman’s guidance (he has come at least 8 or 9 times) we oriented the Airstream east-west with the door opening on the north side, and put the truck at right angles with the Volvo on the other right angle. Our “U”-shape was partially closed on the final side by another tent encampment, housing a woman from Reno and another woman from Massachusetts. Our quad arrangement turned out to be very fortuitous as the trailer blocked the predominant wind from the north and allowed us to extend the awning for shade. Also, the east-west orientation helped moderate the high temperatures inside the trailer.
Compare these pictures with how our camp looked in the “White-out Saturday” post.
