Lectric bikes - Love 'em and wish we had have done them sooner!
by CaptPicardo on 12-28-2021 at 04:05 PM
We had been looking at ebikes for well over a year when we finally pulled the trigger and bought the Lectric bike brand. Wow, so much fun for $995 (on Black Friday special). I've ridden mine 153 miles since receiving in October and they are a blast. I've taken it over rocks, desert dirt, Galveston beach, many parks and it's been well worth the money. We sold the traditional bikes and bike rack and replaced with a bike rack that is more durable for the back of the Solitude. It's also quick to detach
Camp Verde: Verde Valley RV Resort - Awesome

We're at Verde Valley RV resort for a month and apart from an occasional glitch on wifi this resort has quite a community. We're surrounded by NASCAR fans, cowboys for the rodeo and a dozen rally groups. Great park and so many friendly people and activities.

I apologize for our long absence from the blog...we have been out trying to rebuild a golf game, finding a super tall Redwood, fixing flats in the North Nevada desert and trying to see a show in Vegas.
Redwoods in Crescent City, CA are pretty amazing, especially visiting Trees of Mystery down near Klamath Falls. A mudslide took out the road, they are rebuilding quickly but plan for a little extra time. Stayed at Crescent City KOA, amazing for tent campers, descent for RVs...but some

Connectivity, wifi, internet and starlink
by CaptPicardo on 08-17-2021 at 12:41 AM
My life and blood on the road in internet connectivity, it's my full time job and we've tried many solutions...wanted to share few of those experiences with you all:
- Weboost is snake oil, it is fakery, doesn't work in any condition, don't pay for this garbage.
- WifiCampPro - this does work in some circumstances but if your upstream internet is crap, so will yours be
- Cellular - TMobile has been our best connector nationally, relative to Verizon and ATT. Verizon has been
