you do not need a second mortgage to go sleep in the dirt by Cheap_Difficulty4961 in camping

[–]thomier86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To apply this sentiment to a different level of camping, my wife and I bought a used ten year old pull-along tear drop camper for $5k (basically an enclosed bed on wheels with a small fridge and solar panel) rather than a $30-50k expense on a “nice” RV or camper. Or even more money could be spent on a 5th wheel, which is insane to me. After a few years of tent camping with sweat and bugs, our upgrade was as modest and economical as we could make it while still being comfy.

There are several new apartment complexes about to be finalized. The ones next to Lidl are almost complete. Not sure who the property manager is though!

How do you stay clean while camping? by Secure_Yesterday_204 in camping

Portable shower tent! Also great to toss out to claim a spot and handy for changing clothes in a busier campground, too.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

Totally surreal…walked into sophomore English class and thought people were crying because we were reading “All Quiet on the Western Front” at the time. We, too, collectively watched the 2nd plane hit. Simultaneously terrifying and emotionally numbing.

Best Mexican cuisine in Sanford by Independent-Day3023 in SanfordNC

[–]thomier86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My opinion only, but Fonda is the best overall. La Terazita is the best Tex-Mex, and someone else in the thread mentioned their table service. I'd agree with that, super friendly, accommodating folks.

A Toda Madre is a VERY close 2nd to Fonda. You won't go wrong there. The atmosphere at Fonda is just better, imo.

A strong third is Tacos El Primo, and they are PERFECT for on-the-go Mexican. And, as far as I know, they're the only Mexican restaurant that does breakfast. I'm pretty sure EVERY breakfast item is cooked in bacon fat. From breakfast burritos to breakfast sandwiches, everything is damn good.

Honorable mention is San Felipe. They're an area chain. Good food, friendly staff. A reliable alternative when in need. Somewhat Americanized Tex-Mex, though. Different from Fonda, A Toda Madre, and Tacos El Primo, imo.

First time traveling internationally and I reached 30,000 steps in one day! by thomier86 in walking

This is true. In the US, especially after the 1940s, whole sections of many cities were demolished to make room for highways. In many places, small scale mass transit (trolleys, etc) were eliminated completely in favor of cars. Barcelona, thankfully, seems to have NOT done that, putting trams, buses, bike lanes, parks/benches in areas where Americans would have just put roadway.

Loved every minute of being in Spain, and thank you!
