So the time has come to hit the highway. We have spent the final 6 months dwelling in our RV, not removed from dwelling and close to all of our family and friends. Today we are literally hitting the highway and dwelling the Nomad Life for the following 2 years.
We are going to cease and see a number of buddies who dwell out of state over the following couple weeks, however then, the place we’re headed subsequent is a thriller.
Haven’t we been planning this journey for the final decade? Shouldn’t we all know the place we’re headed? Yes we undoubtedly have been speaking about doing this for some time. So lengthy in actual fact that everybody saved saying we have been all discuss. Well guess what, we’re doin it.
And so far as having a plan on what we’re doing and the place we’re going, nah.
My total stress stuffed life has been deliberate, and scheduled, and ready for, and educated for. I’ve received the gray hair to show it. So immediately we’re leaving all of that behind. I’m hitching my pony to my wagon, tipping the brim of my hat down, then cracking the reigns and getting the hell outta dodge.
We undoubtedly have it a lot simpler than the pioneers that headed off to the west with out figuring out what’s on the market. We’ve received our highways, and grocery shops, and bridges. We don’t even want to consider fjording the river, we will simply drive over it.
The pleasure tho… that electrical feeling… We’re doin it.
For most individuals freedom is simply an thought. An idea that all of us inform ourselves we’re having fun with to the fullest whereas we’re chained to our bosses schedule to pay for a home that the financial institution truly owns for many of our lives.
Not us. Not anymore.
Where will we go?
I dunno, I’m gonna comply with the setting solar till I can’t see it anymore. We’ll make camp for the night time beneath the celebs away from the large metropolis. We can all stretch our legs for a bit, the horses can relaxation, and we will get some slumber till we really feel the heat of the solar kiss our pores and skin once more within the morning.
And for the primary time in a very long time, there’s no hurry to saddle up immediately. No, Today we will take our time and sip our espresso whereas we watch the canine run by way of grass kicking up the morning dew as she performs within the open air. Even she will really feel it. Even the canine face has a smile that gained’t go away.
Today we get to look to the horizon in each path and determine which manner we need to go. Do we head south in direction of Texas? I hear they’re giving every household 4,000 acres to boost cattle.
Do we head north to the Dakotas? We can comply with the bison by way of the Black Hills, and disappear into the unhealthy lands like Jesse James.
Do we head west towards California? I heard folks say there’s a lot gold all you need to do is stick your shovel within the floor and you’ll choose up a nugget the dimensions of a potato.
Hell, I don’t care which manner we go, so long as we don’t keep right here watching our lives dwindle away just like the fog of your breath within the wind on a chilly January morning.
For me I don’t actually care concerning the vacation spot, I’m trying ahead to the journey.
I’m trying ahead to revisiting The Dakotas. I can’t wait to go again to the Bad Lands distant from anybody else. Maybe we’ll simply head to Yellowstone and hopefully I gained’t should struggle a bear this journey. Hell perhaps we’ll go proper previous it and straight to the Giant Redwood Trees earlier than exploring the California coast.
I’ve mentioned for a very long time I used to be born within the mistaken century. Not having a plan for our locations is as shut as I can ever come to that Lewis and Clark expedition into the unknown lands previous the place the map ends. Every day goes to really feel just like the day my spouse mentioned get within the automotive lets go for a drive, and we ended up at Niagara Falls.
We can take this journey as significantly as we wish or not significantly in any respect. More than possible it will likely be a combination of each. I can see us doing all of your regular journey weblog stuff like mountaineering within the Grand Tetons, and the next day heading as much as Washington for the Sasquatch conference.
Maybe we’ll head off into the desert and camp within the again nation the place nobody else has been for a century, or perhaps we’ll spend per week at an RV resort hanging out with different nomads within the sizzling tub buying and selling tales of our adventures.
We spent the final decade taking small journeys throughout the nation to go to the entire decrease 48 states not less than as soon as, and now we get to return and go to them once more and spend much more time in all of them. We have met some wonderful folks alongside the best way and are actually trying ahead to creating new buddies on this subsequent model of our adventures.
Small city America right here we come.
If you could have any, and I imply ANY recommendations, regardless of how bizarre, on locations we should always go, or issues we should always do, please tell us. We have stopped all over the place from the Giant Ball Of Twine, to Captain Kirks Future Birth Place, to The Museum Of Natural History and Yellowstone. Help us make this subsequent 2 years as attention-grabbing and as quirky as potential, and if ya see us on the highway, Come Say Hi!
Well, I suppose the one factor left to do now could be whistle for the canine, crack the reigns and holler Yippee Ki Yay.
