Hi all -  I am doing my undergraduate thesis on solo female nomads - if you are interested in potentially sharing your story and opinions, you can learn more about me and the project at http://www.junowandering.com I spent the last months in Ehrenberg/Quartzsite/Yuma and OF COURSE the...

I'm definitely interested, so keep me on your PM list :-)

I would be interested in July as well, if interest goes that way.

Shame to hear this is cancelled - I am based in Asheville and will be back in April. Maybe if enough people are interested we can continue to either keep this thread going, start a new one, and co-organize? Once I'm back there I am happy to do some scouting. With Bob and Carolyn spending time...

Just fyi, I used the product above and liked it - had wide gaps between the metal edges, and if it holds up think it was a great idea. Some of it showed but doesn't look half as bad as the stupid silicone the PO used in places :-)

So, in real world use, now that I've traveled across country, I have to say that the only thing I've really used is my flashed Verizon 3g and the weboost with stubby antenna. I am considering the directional, but so far haven't needed it. But then I don't go 'far out'. I never got the wifi...

Hey all - want to thank everyone for input. I have my settings wrong so never realized I had replies to my post. My problem continued to worsen across the country (think I know a mechanic in every state now!) and my anxiety increased with travel so completely forgot about this thread. Wasn't...

Oh yes, and should clarify - we did end up keeping my banks separate. So - original house battery in engine compartment of truck (so starting battery is on one side, house on the other). It is easy to hook to my 100 watt portable suitcase. But it is now also connected to controller under the...

Again, realizing I missed that the thread continued and wanted to follow up and offer thanks for answers. Made it to Quartzsite and have been finishing out my system with help from VanKitten, JiminDenver and another good friend I've met here who ensures I don't knock myself on my tush up when...

Hey Jim - never saw this post, but after the campfire the other night, realized I needed to make sure all my threads were finalized and had "answers".   For others that might read this - first THANK YOU for the app you recommended to install on my phone "Network Cell Info Lite".  Much better...

I do want to make clear, if it hadn't been for the other Ehrenberg campers that posted on this thread we would not have been aware of the new enforcement policy. So thank you for those posts. They came quickly through our camp (I did see them slow enough to take a picture of my rig as they...

Oh dang - ouch - hope that heals quickly!!!

Hey Ms. Daisy -  I did make Ehrenberg - just in time for an AMAZING potluck put on by JiminDenver and GrannyJo and the other folks here.  Jim had out his solar ovens and had turkey, ham, yams, mashed potato and gravy, rolls, cornbread, corn, and more desserts than you can shake a stick at.  It...

Thought I posted a reply last night/this morning - but don't see it. However, I made Flagstaff without any issues today. So just this last leg (which has me a little nervous because of the warmer temps - Juno hasn't performed well when she gets warm). But I'll get an early start tomorrow so...

Snicker - first time in a casino - and I expect my last after shamelessly (and quickly) losing my fore determined $20. LOL.  On top of a dinner of great quantity but of suspect quality.  I had to do it once, right? Nomad right of passage? Jim - I stocked up at the grocery store.  Can whip up...

Hey Jim - Is there going to be a public/nomad/cheaprvliving/ehrenberg thanksgiving potluck then? And if so, what time ... and what can I bring?  I plan to make it down by early afternoon and can head on out rather than bunking in Quartzsite if there's something going on.  And, since you are "the...

Thanks Ms Daisy - hopefully I'll be in Quartzsite (or Ehrenberg - all depends on the drive that day).  Sent you a PM.  I hope we get to meet!

I expect to be in Quartzsite/Ehrenberg on Thanksgiving (forbearing continued mechanical issues) and was trying to decide whether to try to find "the tribe" - any potlucks being planned? Or whether to check into a park for a week just to get my bearings. I have a solar panel but haven't had a...

I'm a Dawn too :-) I would have had a heart attack!!!!  That is like my worse fears come true!!!  Arrrgghh.  I'm so glad you survived that!  Heart in throat. I have tried the loosening the gas cap trick but didn't seem to work.  However I do think it is some sort of preish-vapor lock as it's...

I'm on my way :-)  Just made it west of Albuquerque today and may sit tight for a few days to recover (found cheap full hookups at a casino).  Need to get some work done which doesn't seem to happen when on the road.  All my intentions to take photos and write isn't happening.   I also don't...
