Yeah, I'm staying in cities because it's easier access to facilities, and I havent developed the skill to find remote places to sleep for a night or two. All the places I find cost money, closed or not for rv/vans.

Yes, the heat. I started out in L.A.and found anywhere east of that had 100 degree or more temps. I think heading up to east OR might be a good plan. I was just trying to get out of CA ASAP. Might take me a bit, though. So what's there to do in east OR? I hear prospecting is all the rage.

I'm currently in the Monterey Bay area, hesitant to move eastward because of extreme weather. Freecampsites.net has a couple of listings for place like a Denny's parking lot and a Flying J truck stop with no designated spots for rv/vans. All I'm looking for is a place to park the van at night...

Hey, all! I've posted a couple of times already here but I felt I should hold off on the intro until I purchased my van. Today is that day, my friends! I'm super excited to join all of you out there with my 2005 Chevy Astro. The plan is to finish out my lease on this apartment (6 more months)...

Sounds good. I was just curious if there was an interest out there. I heard Zoom had malware issues, but I guess it's one of those things you have to do your own research on. Thanks for the feedback. I'm off to hit the books.

Please stay safe, all. If you can, stay away from Los Angeles County. Not only is there a tense situation going on but there is also a curfew that starts at 6PM and goes until 6AM.

Completely free. I think they make their money with a paid service where you can make custom emojis and badges, access to HD video and so on.If you want to research it a little: https://www.discord.com/

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Is there any interest in having a Discord Server for nomads? It's a live chat program with text and video capabilities. It's always connected so you don't have to schedule meeting or login every time like other live chat services and it's pretty popular...
