While this park is not tightly pack as some, the rigs are close to each other. We have interesting neighbors on both sides. On our back side lives a young couple here because their newborn was in the local hospital due to poor treatment at a doctor’s office in their hometown. So, they are only here for a couple of weeks. The dad, like a lot of park residents, works at the huge Solar Farm being constructed in the Lompoc area.
The reason I mention this young couple is because of an offensive tattoo the young man has on his upper arm. It appears that he might be trying to remove it as it looks like it has been rubbed out with a dark smudge. He has Iron Crosses on his chest surrounding his nipples – OK Ruthi noticed because he goes by the rear of our rig to get to the park public bathrooms. But one evening after the baby was back at the trailer, we both were talking with the husband and wife (or boy/girl friends – we aren’t sure) and adoring the baby when Ruthi saw the Swastika on his upper arm. Again, it looked like he is trying to “erase” the tat.
Honestly with all of our travels across America in various neighborhoods with no idea of the people who live there, this is the first time we have felt in danger for ourselves. It was clear that during our discussion with the young couple that he didn’t get that we were a lesbian couple. His questions indicated that he just wasn’t thinking about us as a couple. They were friendly and did nothing more overt to threaten us than have that particular tattoo.
