    Where to spend winters and summers

    Border Patrol is make work for Veterans who live near the borders and miss wearing a uniform to work and running around in the bush. Probably safer and easier than police work in Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis.

    Gray water... why?

    Do LTVA Camp Hosts get T-Day off? Or is just a Pilot Knob thing? Tomorrow, I'm heading with some trash to the LTVA dumpsters to see if there's a line in the sand somewhere sometime. The Chevron sells Glamis Dunes permits, maybe they should take over the LTVA fee, as well.

    Moving to Michigan - 8 Best Places to Live in Michigan

    And it takes four days to hitchhike from Saginaw. Has the drinking water supply in Flint stopped burning? I thought a car rally from Goodrich (Michigan) to Goderich (Canada) aka The Good God Rally would be cool.

    They may actually be on the grid, as solar panels proliferate, and depending on Cell network and Internet accessibility. Looks like the neighbors won't be dropping by anytime soon.

    Where to spend winters and summers

    Persons crossing the border illegally, get as far from the border as they can to areas that already have a similar immigrant population to blend in with, and churches that love to assist them. They are not going to hang out around Ajo or Why. On the south side of Ajo, there is a sign cautioning...

    DB Cooper Solved!

    Both the "Proud Boys" and "Antifa" are FBI creations. It's a really big show. Professional wrestling.

    DB Cooper Solved!

    Trust no one from the government. The more shenanigans, the more their budgets grow. Two towers are demolished in a controlled demolition, and the state security apparatus grows to Soviet proportions. "Homeland Security" sounds like a fascist organization. Ashli Babbitt was a USAF...

    Dating and van life. How does one go about this?

    Two years ago, as I was hiking across the Amargosa Desert, I came upon a large spider with very hairy legs. A little like a show girl in costume. She was high stepping it on her way somewhere, and I captured video of the scene. She went her way and I went my way. Before that encounter, all I...

    Space/Rockets Thread

    INTJohn, Thanks for the info about Holtville area. That led me to the Midland LTVA web page. Pilot Knob LTVA was mentioned and the supplemental Pilot Knob 14 day free camping area was described. The 14 day free camping starts exactly one mile from the western edge of the LTVA. Keep the riff...

    Straight Talk Wireless: New Unlimited Phone Plan for $25, $200 for new phone after a year so pay $300 get $200 back! Verizon network.

    The upfront profit comes from the new phone. ATT comes out of Ma Bell. It's fun to watch 2001:A Space Odyessey, and see all of the then Premium brand names that no longer exist.

    Straight Talk Wireless: New Unlimited Phone Plan for $25, $200 for new phone after a year so pay $300 get $200 back! Verizon network.

    US-50 doesn't have much service due to the numerous mountain ranges. Earned the name "Loneliest Highway" for a reason. I could only talk to my son when I was atop a peak overlooking Smoky Valley, between Austin and Eureka. Basin and Range from one side of Nevada to the other. Roller coaster...

    Forced Retirement

    I forced my retirement upon my management. They were not good people. When I was ready and qualified I handed in my notice before they could act. Nothing they could do about it. Loaded up a van and headed for Nevada.

    What ARE YOU WATCHING?

    No video, up on the Canadian shore of Lake Huron lies a boiler from a long ago wreck. Boiler Beach they call it, but with a Canadian accent. They store hay in large rolls, called "stooks". And if you come from New Jersey, they would always ask about Bruce Springsteen. Referred to as "The...

    June 2024 Update on Quechan Indian Land camping

    A sign says that one can pay $40 for 14 nights in the Pilot Knob LTVA. Cheaper than Quechan. Similar to Quartzsite, but without any official gate house. Pilot Knob has conflicting signage. Supposedly a free 14 day (nights actually) camping area is west of the LTVA past the private Pilot Knob RV...

    if you need this much watts, do this

    First to cover my about to be faux pas post, it seems too simple to say if you want this much watts, then do this", solar days and the day's solar harvest upon the face of the earth, are not fixed anywhere. Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes. Weather does what weather does. For Large...

    Bedbugs

    Or ignore proper hygiene, such that the bugs will get out on their own accord. Note that one doesn't need to go as far as Yuma to create a genocidal oven out of a car. Pahrump, or Vegas, in Summer will do. Mesquite, NV also qualifies with highs after midnight over 130F. The Walmart there...
