The hike to the location where I launched my drone for these photographs is just over a four-mile roundtrip. I did it once last night (it stays light here until after 10 pm) only to find pea soup thick fog and again this morning when I was lucky enough to catch a few moments of good visibility. I think eight miles was well worth the effort for these photographs and the opportunity to take the ultimate selfie. Click on the image above and see if you can find Waldo. The full resolution of this panorama (21 images stitched together) is 18,000 x 5,200 pixels. My posting host limits the resolution to a fraction of that. While moving on to my next planned destination, the tire pressure indicator on the VW California campervan that I am driving/living in went off for a third time. Having filled the tires twice already, I checked more carefully to see if I could find the problem. I concluded that all the tires were so badly worn that they were actually unsafe to drive on. Normally, I would gamble on them holding up rather than abort my adventure but there are just too many ways this could end badly so I will be returning the van in the hope that the owners will put new tires on so I can continue. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: The campervan owners were able to replace the worn tires with a marginally better set of winter tires they had on hand. Equally important, they also placed a spare tire in the van so that I can address any issues that might arise. So it is back on the road again.
