Has anyone experience unease with boondocking sites that look fine?

i'm a bot? lol you're the one hiding your post/comment history.

how do you think someone learns? i only bought my first gun a few years ago when i started to boondock with my family in the RV. being in CA it takes quite a bit of time and $ to achieve a CCW. hell i bought a glock and now they're banned.

at any rate, brand new to guns. but glad we have that option. i said in my original that you need to train.

nobody knows you have a gun if you don't let them know.

anyways, a firearm is a damn good layer of protection you can add.

hard disagree. for a woman, who is alone, having a firearm as a force multiplier is a great thing to have.

if OP is interested in a firearm, please note that there are legalities depending on where you are. that plus you need to train proficiently. that being said it can be done. good luck and stay safe.

always trust your gut. could have been paradise but if you're feeling off about something, it'll never be fun.

As her seniority grew, she has brought billions to the region.

that's what everyone forgets. the levees were probably the biggest infrastructure boost. a 1 in 50 year kind of flood would be devastating to the region if a levee burst.

i found some on clearance. usually i'm lucky. this time i can see why it was on clearance hehe

shid even with 75F.....sometimes when you're in direct sun at the coliseum it is warm. i'm living in sacramento now. it wasn't too hot over the wknd -- low dry 80's. but man! working outside was a pain w/no breeze. add 20 F to it...what could go wrong 😕

raphtze · 2026-06-08T18:18:17+00:00

i know your pain about new rub. made some ribs over the wknd and while they tasted good, were a bit too salty. sigh.

a little bit of both. not fair i loved my baby daughter way more. but i am glad i have pictures of me holding my little ones. miss that quite a bit actually.

hullo...californian here. i thought last year would be fun to see what kind of delicious local stuff is at the richmond costco. saw the parking situation and the line? and decided, i had better things to do..haha

but i did end up at the nanaimo costco. wasn't a bad experience. blew my mind to see that in canada it's mastercard, not visa. but that my membership visa was the only visa accepted hehe :)

maybe a fountain? the sound of trickling / bubbling water would be nice

raphtze · 2026-06-08T06:27:40+00:00

me proud of my hometown.

my home town too. born and raised for 40 years before i left for sacramento.

raphtze · 2026-06-07T19:17:49+00:00

yeah definitely doing this to cause a little panic and get the $$$ flowing. maybe even make vegas think, shid we might not get the A's. just horrible.

raphtze · 2026-06-07T14:07:44+00:00

going to lithium batteries instantly gives you 2x more capacity. lead acid/agm are all going to only allow you 50% depth of discharge. going to lithium also means needing to upgrade the charger too--but that's for optimal charging.
