In which we drove some, stopped some, & there was Chinese food.
See above: the double decker cat tree, which rides in the van’s passenger seat whenever I am on the road with the boys, because that’s what they do.
Delicious Chinese food, because I remembered the place from last year & also, fuck racist people who stop eating Chinese food because they think they’re gonna catch coronavirus from it.

We stopped at a little park in Snowflake, Arizona, so the boys could run a little. It’s a nice place — fenced around two sides so the boys were at least a little bounded, not a lot of people, a lil amphitheatre that I hope they use to stage terrible high school plays.
They all explored a bit, but I was keeping a close eye on Tom, because he’s still pretty new at this. He did okay for a bit …

…but then decided he was Done.

My favourite road:

Tom, settled in for the night.

I have a LOT of Estrella stuff to post, so there’s probably gonna be stuff every day for a while.
This was posted originally to my Patreon, a little over a week ago.
If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.
