Shelter from the Storm

I, Bernie Harberts, did not use generative AI to write or illustrate this article. Spell check and grammar check, yes. AI, no.

Shelter from the storm: this camp looks familiar because it’s home. Home as in where we live. Big thanks to Sam Coffey for helping us get here. The critters’ well-being comes first. They’ll be fine here. Mules Polly, Brick and Dusty are preparing for Hurricane Florence by eating as many chestnuts as possible. We’ll be back on the road as soon as the rains subside. With all the rain forecast we’re thinking of all our coastal and low lying friends. Keep well. Bernie and the critters.

Julia documented the whole ramble on her blog Saddle Under the Stars —
August,
September,
and October.
Her posts are worth your time and will give you her side of the experience.
