Mini Update:
I'll be relaunching in a few hours (mid-day Wednesday).
I got a bunch done over the last week and a half, including a surprising victory with my "home" state's DMV. I now have a valid driver's license, after almost a year of frustration. Phew!
I had been planning to pop over to South Dakota to get their allegedly easy instant one, but now I have to kill one to two weeks while I wait for the permanent issue license.
Figured I'd pop over to my storage unit in northern Wisconsin, so checked the area for free campsites and found multiple ones in the UP (Upper Peninsual of Michigan) with an unexpected luxury: "vault toilets".
Since I have yet to buy #2 "gear", that instantly sold me.
Nothing quite says "baby steps" like a toilet, albeit an "austere" one.
Still no internet, but I'm going to pop into a Walmart or two on my route, and if they have all the bits&pieces for a viable "Straight Talk" $20/month plan, I'll probably buy it. My #1 campground candidate is supposed to have both Verizon and AT&T, so if the hotspot&plan do NOT work, I'll return it quickly.
I'm also going to try to "free" my backseat cushions, to cure the angle issue.
Will pop by the Library at my last temp housing, and load up on books, then treat this as a Reading Vacation, so any solar issues will be less stressing. Stress bad, Books good.
