Both Book 4 of the Time Travel Trailer series, Trailer in the Dust, and the weekend with the wild women of Midwest Glampers wrapped about the same time. The new book finds the mysterious trailer in the hands of a new owner, Edna Mae Barker's granddaughter Kim. And Kim has no idea what the trailer can do when she, her husband, and their young son decide to take it camping to the Oklahoma Panhandle. Kim decides to wear the pendant her grandmother received from her husband-to-be in 1937. The rest is history--or not! The Kindle version will be released August 5, and the paperback soon after. The ebook can be preordered at a discounted price.
Saturday of our campout at Johnson Sauk Park in Illinois was supposed to start with a little kayaking but instead started with a little rain. That didn't interfere with our tour of Ryan's Round Barn in the afternoon.
The barn is over 100 years old and quite a marvel of technology. The displays feature machinery from the late 19th and early 20th century. The lower level is set up for the owners Black Angus cattle with feeders that can be filled from the central silo and an ingenious waste removal system.
The rain held off so that we could have a potluck and campfire Saturday night. As you can see from the photos, no one felt the need to sit too close to the fire.

I have to add a few more photos from Being Bad at Good's event on Friday.
Indicative of the grit of this group was the experience of Jill, a relatively new member, who rode in RAGBRAI on Friday and hopped in her truck after to pull her camper down to join us, only to be waylaid at the Walcott truck stop with a hitch problem. She spent the night there and showed up on Saturday in time to teach us the art of folding pages in old books to make sculptures.
So back to creating promotions for the new book and a little quieter week. And speaking of science fiction, I just heard the weather lady on the local news say the next several days are going to be "cooler, drier, and pleasant." I'll believe that when I see/feel it!
