Almost Back

My five month Home Depot / Urban Boondock experience is thankfully in the past and the Tank is back on the road where it belongs, away from Walmart parking lots (of which I AM grateful for).  Sorry for the lack of posts but there was only so much I could tell you about Walmart parking lots and the Home Depot work experience you don't already know.  I've already got two campground reviews and a National Historic Site review penned but I can't post them because my location in the Davis Mountains in far southwest Texas (yes, Texas has mountains) has just a sliver of internet connectivity that doesn't permit me to upload pictures of the locations.  Tomorrow I head to New Mexico and better connectivity so I anticipate being able to post then.

Man it feels good to be back!

Go Green!

My Alma mater, Michigan State University is playing in the College Football Playoff game tonight at the Cotton Bowl against favored Alabama.  Since it's a night game I needed a campsite with electric hookups to run my laptop and 4G modem as I didn't want to stress the Tank's solar batteries for the three to four hours the game would last. (It's on ESPN so I can stream it)  My plan had been to stay at one of the two Texas State Parks near Houston but I foolishly waited to secure a reservation and both parks were full for New Year's Eve.  Using the online reservation tool Texas State Parks runs I was lucky to find a spot at Buescher State Park about 75 miles from Houston which I previously reviewed here:  Buescher Park Review .  Checking my 4G modem on arrival I was getting 3 bars so it should be a satisfactory streaming experience....I'm pumped for the game!

Me at a East Lansing game...wish it was me at the Cotton Bowl tonight!

I won't have my fancy foam Sparty helmet on tonight but I will have my Spartan shirt in that picture.  My three college buddies, Scott, Steve and Gary and I text back and forth commenting on the plays as the game goes on so it's a group-like experience even though I'm watching it solo in the Tank.

Me and Sparty!

I hope everybody has a safe and Happy New Year!
