Summary

rswfire begins the day with frost on RV windows and plans to insulate before incoming rain. He resolves the ethical dilemma of a Trump supporter's rubber duck gift by deciding to give it to another Trump supporter rather than keep or discard it. He explores Cape Sebastian, finding it steep and less crowded than expected, then hikes the River View Trail through Myrtlewood Grove near the Chetco River. The trail features jungle-like vegetation with large ferns and minimal insects, which he finds remarkable given the proximity to both ocean and river.

He completes partial RV slide sealing using gorilla waterproof tape, unable to reach some spots due to lack of ladder access (ranger cited liability concerns). The campground allows 14-day stays with 3-day breaks between visits. He notes barking neighbor dogs as an annoyance reminiscent of why he left his house.

During the hike, he observes the low Chetco River flowing to the ocean and anticipates watching it grow during winter rains starting in November. The ranger indicated he could drive his Jeep down to the river area. He discovers various trail connections and a bridge, noting road noise proximity but overall enjoying the environment.

He reveals significant financial stress - arriving with only $300 after paying for two weeks at the campground, credit cards in default, and outstanding payments for RV and Jeep. A longtime friend provided financial assistance. An ex-client still owes him money. He acknowledges needing to restart his business and expresses gratitude for his friend's help.

Signal Analysis

Substrate

This transmission maps the establishment of sovereign field infrastructure through physical embedding in coastal terrain. The architecture being held is one of practical sovereignty - simultaneously addressing material necessities (insulation, waterproofing) while establishing relational protocols with the land through embodied exploration and territorial familiarization.
