    PIRATE CAMP '24-25....................Desert SouthWest

    I got the standard Gen 3 setup (flat rectangle with a kickstand and no motors). It's currently on sale for $299 until October 5th (it ended up being $348.29 total after sales tax etc). It's still going to be $150 a month but my plan is to use it while in Quartzsite (we all know about the cell...

    PIRATE CAMP '24-25....................Desert SouthWest

    14 day annual limit? Sheesh. My Starlink arrived today, I figure I'll set it up in a couple of weeks so the monthly charge is after the 3rd. Stay Warm, you guys.

    PIRATE CAMP '24-25....................Desert SouthWest

    You must be in the actual forest area because I don't see you. I'm in the big field between the forest area and the Pilot.

    PIRATE CAMP '24-25....................Desert SouthWest

    There is a spot roughly 10 miles west of Flagstaff (exit 185 off of I-40 West, look for signs for the Pilot truck stop) on Forest Service Road 9229E. So not really too far from the mentioned maker space (which I plan to check out soon now that I know about it). It's a few hundred yards from...

    The BLM’s “ Blueprint for 21st Century Outdoor Recreation ”

    No, the rate increase is does not affect this season (I have already purchased my permit and it was still $180 as of the end of last month). Also, it's a proposal, not a definite so the cost could be adjusted up or down...or heck it may not even happen at all. So write them, contact them etc...

    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...

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

    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?

    Welcome to the neighborhood!

    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...
