    Visible vs. Verizon Wireless: Plans, Pricing, Data and More

    I'm on Visible and play World of Warcraft daily while on Discord and watching videos on YouTube. I have even gone on many many raids in WoW while on a Visible hotspot ( I use the WiFi hotspot). Of course you have to have a decent connection from the tower (forget online gaming in Quartzsite...

    Pirate Camp Winter Season '23-24

    Power stations, indeed. Even mine is getting an overhaul this year, though it's not the same as an all-in-one power station. It's getting a 2nd battery (possibly even a 3rd depending on prices, discounts etc.), a new Victron charge controller, a Victron shunt, a new inverter and a couple of...

    OREGON '23...............Postcards from the Road

    The problem isn't necessarily location so much as tower availability. To my knowledge there are only 4 towers total in Q. Three just on this side of main street (two near the vendor areas, one on the other side of 95 from the vendor area in one of the old RV parks) and one on the other side...

    OREGON '23...............Postcards from the Road

    Looing forward to seeing you guys again and officially getting Pirate Camp kicked of for the season! Also, I don't blame Paulette for never letting you live this one down. LOL Not a huge deal, really, just calling the bank, cancelling the card and having them send a new one. However, that...

    There are also now water trucks and graders going up and down the road.

    OREGON '23...............Postcards from the Road

    I don't know what yet, but it looks like they are doing some kind of work on the main road. Bigger than car or truck machines with lots of wheels driving up and down the road.

    RTR?

    Abnorm: Actually just the minivan at this point. Tent got torn up. I plan to get just a shower tent probably next month, one big enough for the cassette toilet and to take a shower in. I am looking at the ones with the outer frame so far. Although, thinking about it I might look into a clam...

    Applying for social security disabilty while on the road

    I lost out on any SSDI back payment because the judge made the condition that the start date be changed to my b-day of that year. As for the law firm, the one I used was awesome. They always kept in touch and explained everything along the way. In fact I may not have even gotten SSDI if the...

    OREGON '23...............Postcards from the Road

    I will also report that, so far, Quiet Times is, indeed, still closed. However, as was reported in a thread on the Mail forum there is a new mail service in Quartzsite called Moon Mountain Mail. I haven't been there yet but the prices on their website seem pretty reasonable. Moon Mountain...

    There's a new mail forwarding service in Quartzsite

    With the closing of Quiet Times last season, this is definitely good news.

    Ssdi while on the road

    As someone that is on disability, I can tell you moving around isn't a big deal as long as you have your benefits direct deposited (they will even send you a debit card...though I recommend getting your own bank account and having it deposited there. The debit card they send you has some...
