Today was a day with nothing much going on. I went to sleep last night with a visitor in my tent. A firefly followed me inside. I let him stay. And this morning I found this perfect spider web under construction on the path to the washroom. An hour later, when I was packed and ready to go he had made the wheel twice as thick, but I didn't have my camera.
I haven't traveled far today; Gettysburg to Harrisburg and back to Elizabeth town. Americans talk in Fahrenheit - at 10 this morning they were saying +90 and at 3 this afternoon when I gave up and called the game for want of a pool, they were talking +106 with the humidex factor.
I bought two bags of ice tonight - one to keep my dinner chilled and the second to keep the first one from melting. And this is how the little paprika tent has been set up for the night. Looks a little like some sort of creature being peeled of its skin. Open the windows please!
Elizabethtown, been there numerous times. My father inlaw lives there in the "village". Visit Hershey, pretty nice place...
ReplyDeleteRichard, plan to visit Hershey tomorrow. I was there once as a kid. All I remember are the Hershey Kiss street lights... I hope they are still there and not melted in the heat wave!
ReplyDeleteIf they are melting, just bring a cup to catch the dripping chocolate! :-)
DeleteSounds like everything is beginning to puddle out there, use care and watch out for too much sun!
ReplyDeleteRight you are. No point pushing past 2 oclock or 100 degrees.
DeleteRoasty toasty weather. Good think your little tent has nice venting.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of that spider web.
Very toasty and moisty too, that's part of the problem.
DeleteI'd never seen a spider spin a wheel like that one, it was pretty spectacular.
Heat is just part of the adventure, right?
ReplyDeleteSo did you just sleep on top of the bags of ice, then?
This is an endurance sport right? I didn't sleep with the ice, but I did hug one bag for a bit before turning in:0)
