Xscapers Bash: swap, BBQ

On the last full day of the Xscapers Annual Bash for 2022, we dropped off some stuff we no longer wanted at the buy/sell/trade tables; letting our junk become other people’s junk:

Buy/sell/trade stuff

Some people were selling things, but most of the items were free to whoever wanted them. We got rid of a mop and bucket (quite nice, but too big), a couple of solar-powered keyboards, an Apple TV device (actually taken by our neighbor before we left our site), a power extension cord, shelving, and other things. All fine stuff, but there’s no point lugging around anything we don’t use, with our limited space.

That evening, we attended the farewell BBQ:

The evening’s entertainment was a highlight of the event, neon night with performances by Lyte Bryte and Boom Bandits. But we’re such old fogies, not into loud music and dancing; we just went back to our coach (and could hear it just fine from there):

Xscapers Bash: aerial photos

It’s been months since I last flew my drone, in part due to not being permitted in some locations, or just not thinking of it. But at the Xscapers Bash seemed like a good opportunity, so I had a quick flight. Actually two: the first was just vertically above my coach, the second was a little further.

Let’s head up:

I think our solar panels may be a bit dusty:

My second flight, the next day, I flew from one end of the Xscapers Bash site to the other. But first, a closer look at the dusty solar panels:
