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

    Well, second and third tests have been negative… but I’m giving it a full week. I did get to Holbrook though… I will be checking out the situations tomorrow. Either way she’d probably sell her shuttle. Solar set up, fridge… not sure what all she has… I’m in a regular RV park so I can use water...

    Holidays are for the slaves……..

    From what I’ve seen… nomads are pretty good at this… I’ve watched selfless acts of kindness throughout the community helping and including in many who would typically not fair well. Not everyone have the same abilities. But most of who I’ve met are pretty good at sharing what abilities they...

    Globe AZ info ?

    I usually spend a few nights a year at the Oak Flats campgrounds. It appears part of it anyways is on a burial grounds. But I enjoy visiting a few nights a year. I’ve seen a native I believe Apache come around and give a little explanation. But it’s so peaceful and the people I’ve met there...

    Paying those medical bills…

    So… having surgery (shoulder) and the PT that followed was bad enough. But add an emergency on the road that included an ambulance ride and overnight in a hospital… well, needless to say the bill is quite high. My insurance has a cap of what I should have to pay out of pocket. How do I navigate...

    Sugar Beet Harvest

    The farm I drive for accommodated a guy in a van (they basically hire semi drivers) and the shop has a shower/ bathroom. It would depend a lot on where your set up. Many campgrounds I’ve seen close up Oct 1st. It just depends if your working for the piler or an individual farm… and what they’ve...

    Nomad maintenance?

    So I have to ask… when you changed the oil in your towboat dumping the oil in the river, did the river run faster all lubed up like that? Assuming you had a towboat by your handle/ name. Haha. But… to the original poster… bringing tools does give you options. But they take valuable space and...

    Nomad maintenance?

    I fortunately have kids strategically scattered where I’ve done some repairs and my own property here is put in my oldest sons name… where I have extra tools and options. Bullfrog gives great advice when you do find a good place to work… keeping any mess on a tarp or surface protection will keep...

    Good to hear your keeping busy Maki… I was able to come home quick before the main sugar beet harvest…. Mow some grass, toss more stuff… fill my water tank for trailer water when I get back. Tanks are full there… but I’ll have to get by three weeks. 12 hrs minimum per day everyday will give me...

    #1, #2, and vinegar

    And I thought setters were pointers. Oh wait, that’s dogs. That’s a good tip Maki… to answer his question, I didn’t know vinegar came in a powdered form. I would think it would work very well.

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

    So Doug… I saw a proposal from BLM that they want to raise the cost to $600 per year. They are looking for feedback until sometime in October. Out of the Yuma field office. I thought they were talking like $320… but 600? Yikes! I hope to be around end of November… Just me… Kira is no more…

    Nature Lover and friends keep in touch

    Mmmm, coffee… I have my cup very early. Then I’m done except when I visit my neighbor Joan at home… she has great bake goods. And my dad always said everything is coffee cake before 11AM. So then you have to have coffee. I’ll end there… there’s no going ****** tighty here.

    Camping Rules and Regulations

    The problem I see with many vehicle dwellers is they don’t heed the warning of needing a good emergency fund and when they use it do not have a good way to replenish it. Vehicles can be kinda pricey to maintain. Bob usually did a good job of including that. But many did a better job ignoring it...

    While we’re not as hot here, the humidity is high and not feeling the best. But 70’s there sound pretty sweet.
