I am outdoors frequently - mostly camping at Thousand Trails locations.
I am a tent camper. Every once in a while, there will be a Tesla owner in the tent camping section. But generally, if one saw a Tesla in a Thousand Trails property, it would be in one of the RV spots. Anyways, a couple of weeks ago, I am at the lodge/lounge of the Thousand Trails property and this visitor stops by. We get to talking and I discover he is a more recent Thousand Trails member. The subject of other campgrounds comes up, and I mention a couple of other Thousand Trails locations in the vicinity. I mention a particular location - San Benito TT. I tell him about my experiences with San Benito TT. I tell him if one likes quiet, then San Benito TT is a good location. He tells me that his next planned stop is San Benito TT, and that’s when I find out he has a Tesla.
I don’t know the size of his RV, but it the Tesla is not the towing vehicle. He asks me about a ride-share at the San Benito TT. I explain the location is out in the boonies, but I am sure there are likely Uber/Lyft drivers in Hollister (small city about 18 - 25 miles from the San Benito TT location). Then he asks me, “Is there a Starbucks near San Benito TT?” I look up, shake my head, smile, and say, “in Hollister, Yes”
Okay, vignette #2. It is not unusual to see a Starlink kit near a RV site. My understanding is it has a line-of-sight dependency with the satellite system, so there tends to be some positioning involved during set-up. Obviously, in a wooded area with a fair amount of trees, the kit positioning gets trickier. Anyways, last week, I saw visitors in adjacent RV sites with Starlink kit set-ups. That’s quite unusual. Then I thought, I hope the two parties get along. I mean, otherwise, there could be subtle mischief of messing around with one another’s Starlink set-ups. I mean, with that pair of RV locations, the kit probably doesn’t need to be nudged too far to have line-of-sight challenges.
