15 June 2024 – Trip Day 76
Early morning video games. The kids have taken a liking to Stardew Valley which they get to play together and work cooperatively. They are allowed to play video games and tablets on weekends as long as behavior has been good.
We went out to lunch in the morning with a friend for some Mongolian Bar-b-que. Afterward, we came back to the campground, and saw a helicopter parked in an empty shopping center.
Apparently the New Mexico State Police were putting a community out reach event, but we didn’t find any advertisement about it. The kids were still stoked to see the helicopter up close, but they were getting ready to depart when we arrived. 
We stuck around a few minutes and watched it lift off.
My order of the Flagpole Buddy came in. I spent a few minutes assembling it and got it rigged up. Much better for installation of the Starlink antenna than kludging it on the ground. Especially helpful for those places with very narrow sites, which we seemed to hit a number of on this trip.
Garrett and Randal engaged in shenanigans!
I went off to run some errands and shopping while Meagan took the kids to the campground pool to cool off in the Albuquerque heat!
