Van People (Days 1-3)

It's been a crazy few days! We've done a bunch of stuff. Couple of fun stories/highlights: Day 2 we were at the tip of cape cod. It's a great area, but not for freeloaders living in their van! Haha. We found out you could get a beach fire permit for free so we planned to have a fire on the beach and cook tin foil dinners. Right when we pulled up to Corn Hill beach it started pouring rain. We sat there in the parking lot for a half hour or so as the rain started and stopped several times. Eventually we decided it wasn't going to happen so we headed on the the next town, Provincetown. We rolled into town and quickly realized we were in for a hard night. We couldn't even find a place to park to get some dinner, much less a place to sleep. After driving around for a half hour we realized it had stopped raining so we reverted to our original plan and went back to the beach. By this time it was getting close to 10pm and we were HUNGRY. We got back to Corn Hill and went out to the beach. 25mph winds. We had bought firewood, but had forgotten to buy a lighter. We had a tiny bic lighter with almost no fluid. We set up the wood and used a paper bag the light it. The bag burned, but not the wood. Too much wind. So we built a wall of sand around the fire and finally got it lit. A little while later we were enjoying some nice sandy potatoes, carrots and pork loin.
