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

[maki2]

Possibly 2026 then got to save up my paid vacation hours. Take a month off. 2025 will be Yellowstone for me.

Maybe Abnorm will paste your image into a photo and take mine out? Of course who knows where Pirate camp will be in the winter of 2026, likely not at an LTVA $$$

I know places here that is all good. Dispersed for sure. So it will be dispersed in a sense.that some in that public parking lot here...some there... some
by the creek...etc... but city life though

You have my Happy New Year wish that you be able to escape from that concept of “dispersed camping” life in the upcoming new year and be able to join around a Pirate Campfire in the desert or forest.

Apologies MAKI for the "Smoke" at the NYE cookout.........seems the smoke from the all-day fire liked your little trailer

^^^Take another puff, throw another log on the fire, watch more cars drive by on the road from 10am until 10pm. Another happy New Year’s Eve celebration in Pirate Camp.

A new neighbor in a good sized 5th wheel has moved into our LaPosa South cul-de-sac street end. I now get to be experience the unpleasant misfortune of having a stereophonic generator symphony every evening until 10:00pm. One was bad enough, two is a misery.

The La Posa South water station is now officially on water rationing. The hours you can obtain water have now been cut way back. All those big motorhomes, bluebird type conversions a bit semi rigs with huge water tanks created so much demand the well can’t keep up. The demand on the system jumped up by, 4,000 gallons a day about a week ago.yesterday I personally saw the daily totals chart of the water meter readings at the pump facility building and can verify there was a HUGE jump in demand a week ago.

For those of us who just fill one to 5 gallon jugs the water filling station next to the Mobile gas station where BurgerKing used to be has salt free water for 25 cents a gallon.

I liked going to the La Posa water stations to get hair washing and shower water as it comes out of the tap preheated just enough to use for those task right away. I also learned that that water comes out of the ground at temperature over 200 degrees but it is typically just over 100 at mid day to late afternoon when it comes out of the water station faucets at La Posa South. It was a fun, educational, event to get a tour of the pumping station facility

At Imperial Dam I have a peekaboo view of what appears to be a lake, but is in fact the wastewater treatment pond.

That and the golf course.

Make sure to treat fly bites well before they become infected! Don’t ask me why I don’t camp around waste water ponds anymore!
