working in the desert
Most people here have satellite internet connection. We do not. The only other option is to drive in to town and use the internet at the laundromat or cafe. We don't have a car so it was bothersome to drive the moho into town after we already set up camp.
I stumbled onto a wifi connection that was security enabled. The owner was Handyman. Mike Bright put in the "good word" for me and was told to pay Handyman a visit. After talking with Handyman for a while, I garnered his trust. For the price of one beer and a handshake, Handyman let me connect to his wifi connection! He won't do this for just anyone, so I am extremely thankful for his kindness.
Besides being the "handyman" of the slabs, he is turning in to the Slab City historian. He has been filming life in the slabs for over 15 years! He is editing and adding the footage to youtube constantly. Check it out.

Since Handyman gave me internet access I was able to work on RVThereYet and the desert was my office.

yeah I miss that office too. I like the idea of going to CO this trip. Not sure exactly when yet. But I would think before this year is over, we will be in CO.
