Our third day there we took a walk around to outer edge of
the park and ran into several moths and Jim remarked that they were probably
what attracted the birds and was therefore the reason the park was part of a
bird sanctuary.
That afternoon we opened the jeep doors and were greeted by
a mass exit of moths. We battled moths
our entire trip to and from the towns of Alton, Greeley, and Eaton. Once we got
back Jim decided he should check out other hiding areas in the MH to make sure
moths weren’t nesting in places like the engine compartment, like they had been
in the basement door. He pounded on the
engine compartment door and a few dozen moths fluttered out. Later after dinner
we decided that he would bang around on the outside of the MH before we took
off so the moths would clear out. We
even made a couple of wise cracks about driving down the road spreading moths
behind the MH each time we hit bumps in the road.
We lazed around the Tuesday morning and didn’t head out
until after noon. As planned, Jim banged on the side of the MH around the slideout
before we pulled it in, and banged on the engine compartment before I started
the engine and even went around banging on all the basement doors. When he climbed into the MH he told me the
most moths he found were under the boards our leveling jacks set on.
