    BLM and National Forest

    IDK, I'm getting a little giggle out of my movements lately. So it's BLM on the west side of the highway and National Forest on the east. So I'm just moving back and forth, a few miles in either direction. Am I obeying the 14 day limit or disobeying the spirit of the 14 day limit? HeeHee. Sent...

    Tweaking lithium battery charging?

    Class C, 2 Battleborn 100, 510w solar, Victron controller, Magnum charger/inverter. Most of the time I don't even think about my system. It works fine. But the other night it was unusually cold and the furnace was too much for the batteries and they kicked off. So we know that lithiums don't...

    Water is not available at the LOWS in Slab City

    Bob misstated in his latest video that water is available in Slab City. Sorry, no. Not unless you call to have it delivered. While some water is available for use at the LOWS in Slab City it is delivered, so please don't expect to be able to fill your tanks. All water in Slab City comes in on...

    Slabs

    I'm going straight to the Slabs cause I'm a 69 year old hippie freak and I like it there. Will be there this Friday 10/19. I'd like to meet anyone who is already there or if you're interested in going, let me know. I'm no expert but I am a member in good standing of the Oasis Club from last...

    Ehrenberg Trade Blanket

    With the large crowd that apparently is massing at Ehrenberg, I'm thinking about kicking around the idea of having a Trade Blanket. Everybody has stuff taking up space. With a Trade Blanket you take turns, someone throws something on the blanket, then others throw their stuff down that they...

    Happy Equinox!

    Be prepared newbies. The days are starting to be shorter than the nights. I had enjoyed camping for years and when I first tried snow birding I suddenly realized that while it was warmer than up north, the nights were still going to be much longer than I was used to while camping. Make sure that...

    Getting packages.

    Just my experience after two months on the road. I used to be an Amazon guy but now I'm becoming a Walmart picker upper. If I know I'm going to be passing by a certain Walmart in a week or two, I can order just about anything for pickup. Amazon has glitched out on me twice. The Post Master at a...

    The Rule of 2

    As we begin our third month as full-timers I was thinking about the Rule of 2 that I had found on the internet. Be done driving by 2PM, stay for 2 nights and no more than 200 miles a day. As I approach my 68 winters anniversary, I've decided that that rule should be the maximum not an average...

    Netgear Unite Explore

    Just my experience. For the price it seems to work pretty darn good. We've been doing the Appalachians for the last two months from NY to WV. There were six camping spots where my phone said "No Service". In five of them the AT&T Netgear Unite Explore with the small stick on MIMO antenna came...

    Looking at a 72 Chinook 18+

    Yeah, I'm still around. But now I'm getting serious. Looked at this old Dodge Chinook today. Haven't seen the inside yet but the outside looks good. Running and inspected til August. I'm trying not to get too excited but I really like it. If I hit the lottery, I'd get a new Roadtrek. But I guess...

    Rather unique situation.

    Hello. I'm a 63 yo single father of a 17 yo adopted autistic son. I lost everything a while back to divorce and the Great Recession. I took early SS and work minimum wage part-time jobs. While my son is functional, independent living is beyond him. He needs supervision. He will probably not be...
