Is that a bike rack on the back of your Oliver?

Yes, good eyes! It’s a 1Up USA Super Duty tandem rack. Pic is last fall out at Devils Tower. This rack allows for full rear light and brake light visibility even when the bikes are covered.

As we make our way north, we booked a few nights on the fly here at Promise Land SP near Greentown, Pa.  A really quiet and well kept park. Nice clean bathhouses too! Our low tonight it will be 60 and breezy. Perfect with windows open wide for great sleeping weather! $27 a night electric only. The Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains have a special beauty about them. This pic was just a quick ✅ of our courtesy lights before dark last night. Love the Oliver exterior lighting when its needed.

 

 

Spicy Kickin Chickin on the grill!! 🤪

Can you give coordinates of that location? I'm not finding (via google maps). Is it a boondocking site?

Yes.

It is actually a decommissioned National Forest Service campground.  There are still a pit toilet and bear boxes there and there is non-potable water.  No garbage service nor electric or dump.  Note that the reason the Forest Service decommissioned this campground was due to bear activity some years ago.  In the past several years I've seen a couple of black bears wander through camp, and there has been Griz poo and tracks observed within a half mile.  I never walk around my campsite or anywhere in the camp without appropriate protection on my person.

Landed at an old favorite CG in upstate NY near Rhinebeck called Interlake. Took a few photos of XPLOR with the “blood moon”. I can’t say we actually saw a total lunar eclipse. However the moon was really really bright and beautiful as ever. 

An AI take on the Blood Moon. 🤷‍♂️

The "blood moon" on September 7, 2025, refers to the reddish appearance of the moon during a total lunar eclipse, a phenomenon caused by sunlight scattering through Earth's atmosphere. In astrology, this event signifies a powerful time of revelations, emotional breakthroughs, and accelerated change, particularly in relationships and personal paths, as it occurs in the intuitive sign of Pisces. It is a significant astrological event, seen as a "portal of change," that challenges individuals to balance fantasy and reality while fostering spiritual growth and authenticity.  

What is a blood moon?

A blood moon is a total lunar eclipse, where the Moon appears red or orange due to sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere and casting a reddish glow on its surface. 

It is a striking visual event, often described as a fiery or copper-colored moon. 

Astrological significance:

Time of Revelation:

Eclipses are powerful moments for breakthroughs, bringing hidden emotions and long-held truths to light. 

Pisces Energy:

This eclipse falls in the mutable, intuitive sign of Pisces, emphasizing themes of healing, empathy, compassion, imagination, and spiritual growth. 

Balance of Opposites:

Occurring in Pisces and opposite its opposing sign Virgo, this eclipse highlights the need to balance intuition with discipline, fantasy with reality, and creativity with responsibility. 

Accelerated Change:

Lunar eclipses are seen as agents of upheaval that accelerate personal and collective transformation, dissolving stale patterns and demanding action. 

What to expect:

Emotional Intensity:

You may feel a heightened sense of emotion and intensity, with significant shifts in relationships and personal dynamics being almost inevitable. 

Personal Reflection: The event encourages shedding old habits and beliefs, fostering authenticity and courage to embrace your true self. 

Spiritual Awakening: The energy of the eclipse promotes deeper spiritual connections, trust, and the ability to surrender to the flow of life. 

Karmic Adjustments: This eclipse is seen as a major checkpoint for karmic adjustments and potentially, grand finales or new beginnings. 

 

 

 

This photo of XPLOR and our TV was taken while sitting next to our campfire. A peaceful evening for sure camped in the Hudson River Valley.
