Just received my first meshtastic device. Unfortunately, as I expected, I couldn't connect to another node from home. Drove to the top of the skiing hill by my house, and was super excited to see nodes pop up. Tried DMing the closest one, but I didn't have much time to stick around for the response. Thinking about asking the general manager of the ski resort permission to put a router on top of the mountain (if I'm wrong about the mode, let me know, but seems router would be best fit). Does anyone have recommendations for outdoor solar panel ready-to-go kits?

She's had a real rough day, doing absolutely nothing lol

"SURVEYOR, WV (WVNS) — Lighting struck twice at Lake Stephens during an employee picnic on the evening of Monday, July 17, 2023, county officials reported.

Director of Raleigh County Parks and Recreation Authority Molly Williams said a lightning bolt struck the “rain box” at the Lake Stephens splash pad.

Moments later, she said, a second bolt struck the marina, short-circuiting the breaker box.

Although people were at both the splash pad and the marina, nobody was injured, according to Williams.

“Unfortunately, there were people there. The storm came in so fast and it did its damage and it left just as fast as it came in,” said Williams. “We moved everybody to safety, as soon as the storm hit. Everybody stayed in place until the storm had passed, and then everybody went home.”

On Tuesday, July 18, 2023, she said maintenance workers were assessing damage.

The splash pad was closed and being cleaned on Tuesday afternoon."
