    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...

    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...

    Yeah...I didn't do much exploring in the LTVAs last year, kind of had other things on my mind as I am sure you will remember. I happened to spot the pavilion from the main road on my way to the Blueboy dump area. Decided to check it out.

    So I did a bit more exploring and found that La Posa South has a pavilion and horseshoe pits. They are across the road from each other with a double vault toilet on the horseshoe side.

    From the looks of the setups, they are only set up for one bin (railing only on one side and shorter than the South rails). Yes, the water is on at South.

    Yep, just gravel road. However, no potholes and freshly graded.

    So I had a look at the other areas. North and West...*shudder* need lots of work. Tyson Wash appears to have had work done. They do, indeed have RV dumps now (no clue if they were there before) which do not appear to be open as yet. There is also a very nice water spigot area, which also...

    Don't know if there were always three hoses but if there weren't there are now. I didn't get out and check dump holes, though. Obviously I don't use these, so for all I know it could be the same as last year. Blueboy dump is the same as it was last year, including the rock over the hole and...

    I would rather have the road as well, but won't miss the potholes. As for the van, it's serving me pretty well. 500 miles shy of 200k and no major problems as yet. Though I do need to go into town for super glue to fix the window mechanism on the slider. My fault, not the van's. I also will...

    I haven't gone to the other areas as yet. Though on the way here from Q I did see what I assume is the remnants of the LP South road piled up in front of one of the North areas. If I remember I will take a pic of the RV dump setup. Obviously I don't use them so it may be the same.

    Well, the fire ring is still here (where we were last year), though it looks a bit smaller than I remember. Also, they did indeed redo the main road...and now there is no blacktop other than maybe the first about ten feet in, the rest is dirt road. However, NO POTHOLES!! Not sure if there were...

    Yeah, I'm here until my disability check hits and I get a few things done to the van (need to build a new power box to accommodate the 2nd battery etc).

    New drain issue.

    Just so everyone knows, I switched out a burnt wire that was going to the inverter with a thicker gauge one and the drain has pretty much disappeared at this point. So it appears the problem was the burnt inverter wire. I waited a bit to make sure, but the problem appears to be fixed now. I...

    So Pirate Camp will be in Pahrump this season? Was a bit looking forward to hunkering down in Q for the season and to the campfires. Not that I have anything at all against Pahrump, I like it there as long as the rangers leave us alone. Lol Unfortunately I will be a bit late to Pirate Camp...
