Dust Away

Took minutes and it feels like I’ve just started the adventure. Went to Moruya river sth side fish tables at Riverside Park and scrubbed quickly the outside, getting wd40 off, and grime, then did the inside for possibly the second time ever.

It’s a shitty hot mongrel wind day. I can’t wait for Summer to be over and we’re not even in it yet.

Windfinder isn’t wind accurate. Hotter than this too, I’m sure. Certainly is in the van.

Breakfast at the quarry, shower upstream. Had it to myself but within an hour maybe ten cars turned up.

Only other thing of note was an old guy in a home made jalopy bicycle thing, four wheels or at least two at the back, like an ice cream vending station, which he was pedalling no doubt on a very long solo trip. Had a canopy on it like on a barge. Amazing. I wanted to chat this morning but he had packed his tent and ai saw him pedalling the contraption away. Swirling orange safety light on top. It took up the road width of a car and was a lot of size and weight to get around. Good luck to him, a true explorer and eccentric.

UPDATE 4.07PM

An arrival knock knocked and asked if I knew my lights are on. Running the car for half an hour now. Had to do this once before.

Although he crawls out at opportune moments revealing that he looks out through dark tinted windows, the creep wouldn’t help like that. Some kids askec around for water,vin heat, the other day, and he of course wouldn’t help them either. (I did.)

Could be a busy night in the rest area, hopefully there’s no generator or arseholes running their car engine to charge a battery!
