Things looked bleak for Great Britain in 1940. France had fallen and even with the "Miracle of Dunkirk" the British Army didn't really have the hardware to fight the Nazi war machine. All that stood between them and Hitler was the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, but everyone expected an invasion at any time.
And so a whole bunch of pillboxes were built on likely landing beaches. The problem, of course, is that a pillbox looks like, well, a pillbox, and the Luftwaffe would target them as a matter of course.
And so the Brits built a disguised one.
It looked like an old ruined cottage but was newly built from reinforced concrete with gun ports instead of windows. Pretty cool. And what's also cool is that it's Grade II listed as a historic building.

Happy Birthday, Marines.
I think we got our first frost this morning. A light frost to be sure, but a frost nonetheless.
I made the first gumbo of the season yesterday, not so much that it was cold, but because it was the second weekend in November and I was ready for gumbo. I never know how ay people I am going to feed for Sunday lunch, and I do not advertise my menu. Many times I don't know what I am cooking until I start cooking. Still, people show up. I fed 13 yesterday.
Today, Belle wants something warming, so I think I'll cook a potato soup for lunch. With diced tasso and lots of cheese.
If you'll excuse me, I'm off to the grocers.

Officers responded to the 6300 block of Sandia Boulevard on Saturday, Nov. 8, around 1 a.m. They found Justin Marlo Davis, 25, of Huntsville, who had been shot.
The Huntsville Police Department's Major Crimes Unit led the investigation. Authorities determined that Davis was armed and trying to enter the home when a resident shot him.
Deputies from the Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office and medical personnel arrived at the scene and found Hammons and several witnesses. The witnesses reported to deputies that Hammons had unlawfully entered their home and attacked 57-year-old Kevin Palmer with a wooden pole.
As the altercation between the two men escalated, Hammons allegedly threatened to kill the other residents at the home. Authorities say that 28-year-old Ryan Edens retrieved a .22 rifle and shot Hammons in self-defense as he feared for his safety.
Police say the victim reported hearing a crashing sound at the rear of the property in the 14800 block of Otsego Street. Three men were seen trying to enter the home. That's when Wood allegedly fired three shots causing the suspects to flee, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
The incident was reported about 1 p.m., but the suspects fled before police arrived. There are no reports of any arrests. Police continue looking for the suspects.

The Demko Shark-Cub AUS10A Slicer Shark is a great knife for everyday carry (EDC). Its 2.5 inch drop-point, saber-ground blade is 0.13 inches thick at the spine and has a stonewashed finish. Deep jimping along a longer-than-average segment near the base of the spine of the blade provides extra control during delicate cuts. A thumb notch makes ambidextrous one-handed deployment simple, while presenting a thinner profile than thumb studs. The glass reinforced nylon (GRN) handle has a canvas-micarta-like finish with contours that fit the index and middle fingers. The scales are reinforced by a steel liner that extends half of …

The map in the last post shows all but two of our camping stops. I made that with Mapquest and they have a limit of 26 (A-Z) stops on any planning map. So there's a couple of stops in the long straight stretches that I took out so I could show the main loop.
Two of the stops are to visit family, although we did stay in a campground at one of them.
This is the second long trip we have made. Two years ago we made a trip of similar distance and time. That was on different roads with different destinations. The planning for this trip was deliberately structured to take us to new locations. For example, this trip went to the Michigan UP and out across the northern states. The previous trip included Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Some of the upcoming posts will likely be from the first trip as well.
Our route was roughly planned and the parks were picked months in advance. We went out in August, when parks are busy, and had to make our reservations through Labor Day at a minimum. Later in the trip we were in more remote areas, with parks mostly empty, and we were free to roam. We carried a paper atlas in addition to having the internet. Looking at the larger map of a state gives a perspective that a set of directions in a phone or GPS lacks. We went out to see something of America, to not try to rush anywhere, and to explore as deeply as possible the places we happened to choose.
Wherever you go, however long you stay on the road, you only see a minuscule fraction of the country. For every road you take, there are hundreds you do not. For every town you stop in, there are thousands you drive past. For every park you choose to camp in, there are dozens you didn't visit. If you pick a trail to hike or ride, the rest of the park remains unexplored. When you are in a town, if you pick an old diner for lunch, you didn't visit every other restaurant you might have chosen.
We ate out rarely, it was scarcely any harder to cook in the campsites than it is at home. The camper has a microwave/convection oven, a two burner stove, a small fridge and a sink. In addition, I have a Coleman stove to cook outside with and there are always grills available.
America has an amazing state park system. Every park we visited was a gem.
My next post is going to start in the middle of the trip, in the middle of the country. It was while we were exploring the nearby town on our first trip that I began paying attention to how much of America is still out there. It's going to start with a little place called "Mom and Pop's Burger Stop".

It escalated quickly into a shootout, which moved up the block. The man eventually fired towards the corner store.
