Franklin State Park

I try unsuccessfully to find a place we can park in Columbus, near the center where the workshops are going to take place. The nearest campground is 25 - some long, windy & uphill - miles away.

We pay for two nites, a small senior discount included, and I worry about driving 45 minutes or so early tomorrow morning to make it to the protest.

Jasi is thrilled we are camping, even though it has gotten pretty cold. I am grateful Tess has given me an electric heater - I'm nervous about running the propane heater with Jasi being in the camper. I take the risk on my own, but here there are electric outlets included at the site, so I don't have to worry about over-taxing my solar.

We go to bed pretty early, as darkness falls shortly after we get there. Jasi eats heartily, not asking for eggs, and takes his herbs like such a big boy, without complaint. We only read one story and then call it a nite!
