yesterday i left the safe bubble of my hipcamp in ventura and set out north with no idea where i would end up
i stopped driving around 5pm and found a place to park in a secluded parking lot— my first stealth camp!
when i got inside stuff was all over the place— pot lids had come down leaving a big ding in the counter and another big ding in one of the pot lids, my star light was broken on the floor and all the items hanging on the hooks behind the door were neatly lined up on the floor right where they had jumped off
i had come unexpectedly on one of those shallow concrete drainage things that sometimes cross the roads and i have learned they can be deadly if i go over them too fast— which i did cause i didn’t see it coming cause i was messing with my phone!— my bad :(
so that wasn’t exactly a first but sort of because i thought i pretty much had sorted things out inside to be secure but obviously i have more to do
also my first time using my airhead!— while i was at hipcamp i used their facilities but now i’m on my own and it’s working great
tomorrow will be my first time taking a “shower” in here in my sink so we’ll see how that goes and what fixes i end up needing for that
now i’m settled in for the night at my second street camp in los osos
it is super tiring dealing with the unknowns and the uncertainties but at the same time fortifying just to be doing it!!
the last two days i’ve made this super yummy pasta for dinner with prawns, garlic, basil and some of the tomato paste i made
i was able to take 3 walks with finny today exploring new places
i’m feeling this extravagance of experience and sensorial pleasures and a lot of appreciation for how well my vardo is serving my needs as well as inspiring people i meet— i done good!
