Wow! Nice haul! Definitely sounds like an exhausting day.

Looks like that brings you up to 39th place with 200 chargers. Congrats!

Nomadland touches base with several of our iconic haunts.

Tracking Nomadland’s Path Across the American West
For me the movie was particularly affecting, not only because of living on the west coast there are a lot of places in the film that I have been to many times. I rented an RV to drive to my sister's in Colorado after my new wife and I had driven once in her car, and then in a rented Explorer and finally in a rented Expedition. Each vehicle was bigger and gave us more capabilities. Tina actually slept in a bed we made in the back of the Expedition with the dogs, that was her favorite trip. The expense of renting an RV made me realize I could justify purchasing a used one if I made 3 trips a year until we pay it off, which was easy to get to. Hello second home interest tax write-off.

I looked at the RV as not only for weekend getaways but as an escape vehicle. It has shock absorbers so if our house falls in a quake and we survive we could move our stuff into the RV and live there while the house is rebuilt. Several times during the super smokey days of fire season we just load up the RV and got out of town (we are now on gen 2, a Freedom II Serenity from Leisure Travel Vans).

This also seemed like a good escape vehicle if the world came crashing down, if I could no longer work, if my wife divorced me, if we lost the house we could always live in the RV on some BLM land and work for the forest service. But watching this movie sure did make it look like people who are on their last leg live that lifestyle. It was almost too sad to watch. Unlike the YouTube videos that all seem to glorify the Van Life.

I do enjoy life on the road, but I have moved to taking my Tesla on the road instead, despite being 3rd generation RV owner (granddad got the patent on putting AC in a moving vehicle for the Flxible Land Yacht that he designed). My poor RVs are getting kinda sun-bleached.

Man, I need to get back on the road. I just looked at my inventory of complimentary bars of soap and shampoo that motels provide, and my stock is perilously low. Alas, those blasted 1040s, 1065s, 1041s, and 1120Ss are keeping me tethered for the nonce.

Here is hoping that the scourge is at manageable levels come June. I have tickets for my son and me to see the mighty Doyerz at Hotlanta to be followed a couple days later against the Bucs in Pittsburgh. I'm hoping Darren S can join us. I promised him a 12-pack of Iron City.

That round trip ought to replenish my inventory!

Yikes! Stay at a hotel? That has been the fun of Supercharger Hunting, I don't need to go into ANY place where people are, I have a glove for the Supercharger handle, I eat from a drive-thru, I use the toidy at rest stops... Life is grand.

Wow! Look at all those dupes! I am so jealous of folks who do the Jersey Turnpike as they get to pick up both the North and South-bound chargers right across the street, but I have been to all of those above (although mostly BEFORE there were two at each location) and most are insanely close to each other, like the Mt. Shasta ones, just gotta figure someday they are going to shut down the old one in most of these locations. Not the Sacramento, Richmond, SF, or San Mateo locations, but they are dern close too.

You too can drive the miserable New Jersey Turnpike. Supercharger hunting in California was much more enjoyable.

I watched Nomadland last night. Definitely loved all the cinematography and the locations they chose. I've even spent some time in the Point Arena area even though there's no supercharger on that stretch of highway so that was cool. I've somehow never been to Empire, NV which is weird since I'm probably uniquely qualified to write a travel guide to all the shittowns of Nevada :) Just never been up in NW Nevada north of I-80 with the exception of US395 to Susanville.

Seems like they went out of their way not to get the superchargers in any of the shots in Wall and especially Quartzsite. The rock shop she worked is directly across from the supercharger and you could even see the Burger King/Mobil sign in the background (across the street for the Carls Jr. that hosts the supercharger).

The movie itself was good, but too depressing for my taste. I get that they were trying to show the realities of growing old and all that, but for me, life on the road is a happy place and they didn't really capture much of that. There was a scene where she was alone and depressed in a deli at some truck stop with wooden booths and a 32 oz. Pepsi cup. Maybe I'm easily entertained, but I even like experiences like that. Feels like walking back in a time machine to my childhood in the 80s when you get to some of these places in Middle America.

There was also a weird focus on bodily functions. I kind of lol'd at the first scene where she pees on the roadside, but after a while it started to seem like some type of fetish. Like when you start noticing all the feet in Tarantino films.

All in all, it was an enjoyable movie. Definitely worth watching for people who like to get out on long trips in the West.

My main memory of the New Jersey Turnpike was running over somebody's muffler and tailpipe. Fortunately it was so rusted through that it did zero damage to my car.

(Wasn't driving my Tesla...this was like 30 years ago.)

Last weekend I was feeling the urge for a drive, but I ended up going places I'd already been:

8. Fremont, CA (to fill in a "last charge" date in my personal spreadsheet)
5. Mountain View, CA (one of three Superchargers where I've charged but didn't take a picture, took care of that)

Stupid COVID.

Bruce.

Yes, someday, it's just so far away, hard to be home in time for dinner the way I have been able to for the last year.
The north/south plazas are segregated anyway, so you can’t do what you’re expecting. Also all the paired north/south chargers are still under construction. Maybe you’re thinking of I-95 in CT? Though that still has segregated plazas.
