Our new names and sun tea
As we have headed west, Cvstar has given us Native American names. Cvstar is Li'l Tank because we always have to stop for gas for her. Her tank is the same size as the Burgman but Issy doesn't get quite as good mpg.
Beamer Pop is now Chief Squid. If you know Beamer Pop, you know he doesn't travel without multiple gadgets, all which need to be recharged each night. Often motels do not have enough outlets to accomodate all this recharging so for this trip we brought BeamerPop's "squid" -- a multi-outlet plug which resembles a squid.
BurgMa's new name is Powder Foot. It is because she is religious about putting foot powder in her boots, and consequently leaves white powder footprints in all the motels we have stayed in. It also may apply to the fact that BurgMa tends to take the mountain curves a little slower than Cvstar and BeamerPop.
And Cvstar likes to kid BurgMa about her sun tea. Every morning BurgMa fills up 2 bottles with water and a tea bag. She straps the bottles to the outside of her drybag and in an hour or so, we have fresh sun tea...or as Cvstar says...Texas Sun Tea, New Mexico Sun Tea, Arizona Sun Tea...well, you get the idea.
