Wow, 200 acres! I didn’t realize I only saw a small portion of it. I was a little on edge with the sketchiness of the area and I wasn’t dressed properly to explore an area full of venomous snakes. I had flip flops and gym shorts and I was time limited. I will make it a point to go back.

Great looking rig and thanks for sharing your adventures

Well it’s definitely not California but it is always an adventure. I’ve been doing this for 25 years this month. I just came off the Gulf into Mobile AL and I’m now headed up the Tennessee/Tom Bigbee/Black Warrior rivers to Paducah KY. I will be standing by to wait for these 8 barges to be loaded then picking up 1 more and heading to NoLa with 9. After that, we start the whole

loop again.

I’ve decided to just keep this thread going until I eventually make it to California. When will that be? Who knows. I just got off a boat in Louisiana and the need me to get on another one in Minnesota. I have a few days for R&R I’m going to take advantage of.
Somewhere in Arkansas

Not a bad view to wake up to

Well I’m finally off the boat after a 67 day hitch. Started in Bellevue IA and I’m making my way out to the Black Hills of SD. I bought a gold claim a couple years ago sight unseen. I figured I’d better go check it out. I made it as far as Yankton SD today. Nice place! Hot as hell today.

Solar running everything flawlessly. Refrigerator, Starlink and charging my 72v scooter

I got my scooter going 52mph yesterday. Probably not very smart. I was only wearing flip flops and shorts, no helmet and I may or may not have had a few Twisted Teas
What can I say, I’m GenX

You need to do a complete run down on your solar and battery setup when you have time.

In the heart of the Black Hills. I found a nice little primitive campground beside a creek. It took about 1.5 hours on a goat path to get here but I was rewarded with solitude. Theres nobody here. Hope the chupacabra doesn’t get me tonight. I even got a warm shower after putting my shower bag on top of the engine for a couple hours.

Yesterday, the historic Stanley Hotel made famous by the Stephen King film The Shining. REDRUM

Of course I had to do a wine tasting of a 40 year old cab and a charcuterie board.
