Here to share my passions of travel, volunteer camp hosting, and probably hockey.
Your campground host dones not ask for a lot. But please don't climb random cliffs and start fires when I'm trying to go to bed. It's not cool, really.

Back on the road after a long Thanksgiving break and visits to family. I meant to take more photos but...
Some of the best wine I've had at a Harvest Host. But if you plan on staying there follow the arrival directions.

2.5 more weeks as a host. This week is one of the more difficult weeks I've had as a host. I'm glad folks of Texas are enjoying their spring break, but this little parks infrastructure struggles under your burden.

Desert landscape showing two tire tracks driving perpendicular to a campsite drive way. There is a small amount of snow and brown grass in the tracks.
Why do I have to drive on the roads? Why can't I park in the grass?
Things in the desert don't grow back fast or even normal, and they take a very long time to heal. Please tire tracks were made in late May of this year. Things are just barely starting to grow in them to cover them up hopefully.
Water!
There's no water anywhere in the campground. I was loaned a 40 gallon tank that lives on the backseat of my car. I fill this at the BLM office about every 1.5 weeks and top up drinking water containers weekly.
I then pull my car up next to my RV and top up the RV water with a pump.
Electric! Part 2
I have a Jackery generator dedicated to keeping my starlink working. It has panels on the roof.
I can on a sunny day run it off the solar trailer also, but it's my biggest power hog.
Electric! Part 1:
I work still so I need good old fashioned power to make that happen. My power to the house, or RV, is through solar and an external panel.
The BLM loaned me a solar trailer, I can run my laptop off this instead of my normal jackery set up.
My current camphost volunteer opportunity is partial hookups.
What does this mean?
Let's define full hookups first, water from a spigot, electric from an outlet, and a dump spot.
Partial hookups means you have 1 or 2 of the 3.
I have one, sewer.
Let's cover how I get the other two!
Best site in the campground tonight is facing the clouds away from the sunset.

Walking the campground when it's very quiet and trying to listen to the hockey game. The walsh always cut the signal.

Probably the best site in the whole campground right now. For the view and the angle of the hill blocking some of the wind. Another amazing sunset in the desert.

Camping Pro Tip: The following things do not burn when you put them in your fire pit and get cleaned up by campground staff:
Glass
Bottle Caps
Cans
Can Kids
These things can be recycled, consider that instead please 🥺
