This is my first weekend off from work at the new gig. Currently camping in a national forest in New Mexico at 8300′. I found another spot at 9300′ but there was no verizon there. Here there is a connection about 10% of the time so I can write email and the machine will keepContinue reading “NM: 8300′ USFS boondocking”

NM: 8300' USFS boondocking

run to the border
I should mention that my cooking spot from the last post was about 50yds from the border. Where I stealthed for the night was about 150yds from the border.

I used to walk the stairs after lunch in Dallas (had a 1hr lunch there) and this looked like a useful development. Hopped up there and guessed at the control functions. Started quite slow in “fatContinue reading “Day 2”
CITO, WATO
There is a geocaching term “CITO”, which means Cache In Trash Out. You bring a bag with you and carry out trash you find while geocaching. For a few years I’ve been doing something similar
breakfast at Gallegos
Made it el paso. The move into the van was easy; the move out of the house was tough. Too little time, too much stuff. Rain came and hammered the last weekend, which delayed many of the craigslist buyers. This pushed my schedule back a day or two. But the utilities were scheduled to beContinue reading “breakfast at Gallegos”
FT-specific services

The TMO is slightly less expensive but I imagine nomads will pick the Super LTE option to get Big V’s coverage. USM has a fun/clever website, massively customizable plans, and discount prices compared to dealing withContinue reading “FT-specific services”
