Day 22, Monday, October 14, As It Is Happening , breaking camp at Dexter

Our pleasant bivouac for the night. But do not for one minute think it was as pleasant getting here . Standby for part 2 of yesterday's posting to learn why.

Just broke camp. On our way to Craters. And exactly 500 miles to the moon, on average, that is.

PS it was 26 years ago this long Columbus Day weekend that i first set eyes on a Defender. It was love at first sight for both of us.
