August 13th

I had us stay an extra day at the trailer park. We were supposed to leave this morning, but after the fun I had with the locals here, I had this strong suspicion that I shouldn’t leave. Not yet.

I think I made the right decision. Let me explain.

We arrived here in our convoy of hope and dreams, chock full of optimistic happiness a little after noon. Just like Lancaster described it, there was a delta-shaped strip mall with a gas station at a four way crossing of country roads several miles outside of a small town’s downtown, and about a hundred yards down one of those roads was the trailer park. Big painted sign stitched with bullet holes proclaimed the place as “Longwoods Trailer Park.”

Plonked in a large grassy expanse in front of a thick and old pine forest the trailer park had two paved entrances that connected deep in the back of the field into a big A shape. Trailers on the inside and outside of the road arranged in a herringbone manner, and I counted 28 trailers, though I think there were a few I missed. Four were doublewides, all in the center of the A, arranged around a small playground. The upper crust, as it were. Surrounding that was the original chain link fence, bolstered by a secondary lumber fence inside that. They’d built old school wooden and steel obstacles and dropped them in all directions outside the fence. They reminded me of the tank traps on Normandy beaches. Grass had grown up around them. A brook ran east-west to the property across the street, and they’d built a two-story guard tower at the edge of the water on an embankment that covered both entrances to the park, as well as anyone gathering water to drink.

They’d turned the front openings of the fence at the entrances into wooden and steel gates with a second guard tower in the middle, covering both entrances. The fields on both sides of the park had been turned into crops, and the fields looked like they were doing pretty good. Not great, but you know, not bad.

They don’t have Ollie tending their plants, do they?

Then again, no one does anymore. Ugh.

We parked in the center of the A shape deep in the park where our vehicles weren’t visible from the main road. Lancaster and Kevin set up security to make sure we weren’t attacked, and within a minute or two of disembarking and watching our guards head out to work with their armed guards we were surrounded by smiling, friendly residents. I was so nervous of meeting new people, and also getting shot by fucking strangers.

I shook a lot of hands, and after the second or third grasp, I was well aware that everyone knew exactly who Kevin and I were. People stumbled over their words, and acted anxious and excited every time they approached. I watched parents point at us while holding their kids, explaining who we were, and why it was important that they were meeting us.
