snowbirding ever more south, next stop Capitan
I really like Capitan so I’ll make it my next stop:
- a friendly USPS with big parking lot for general delivery pickup
- public library with good wifi
- water available at a local day use area
- camping in a developed BLM campground with picnic tables, awnings, trash pickup and a pit toilet.
- very quiet
The last of the mesh nodes were delivered to my mail forwarder today (the Rak-powered solar unit made by PeakMesh, and the Rak Wismesh Tag. The PeakMesh is really the critical component as it will be mounted high on the rack and function as the base station.
The package will leave Houston on the 22nd and I’ll head toward Capitan when it starts to get close. I didn’t pay for priority so I’ll probably be on NF land[^hq] outside Santa Fe at least a week.
[^hq}: the central area of Headquarters Well camp on NF land has been closed through December. I consulted the map and picked a spot outside the described (ie closed) area
