So the time has come to hit the street. Now we have spent the final 6 months dwelling in our RV, not removed from residence and close to all of our family and friends. Immediately we are literally hitting the street and dwelling the Nomad Life for the following 2 years.
We’re going to cease and see a couple 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? Sure we undoubtedly have been speaking about doing this for some time. So lengthy the truth is that everybody stored saying we had been all discuss. Effectively 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 whole stress crammed life has been deliberate, and scheduled, and ready for, and skilled for. I’ve bought 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 understanding what’s on the market. We’ve bought our highways, and grocery shops, and bridges. We don’t even want to consider fjording the river, we will simply drive over it.
The thrill tho… that electrical feeling… We’re doin it.
For most individuals freedom is simply an concept. 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.
The place 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 evening underneath the celebs away from the massive metropolis. We will 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, Immediately we will take our time and sip our espresso whereas we watch the canine run by grass kicking up the morning dew as she performs within the open air. Even she will be able to really feel it. Even the canines face has a smile that received’t go away.
Immediately we get to look to the horizon in each course and determine which approach we need to go. Can we head south in direction of Texas? I hear they’re giving every household 4,000 acres to lift cattle.
Can we head north to the Dakotas? We will comply with the bison by the Black Hills, and disappear into the unhealthy lands like Jesse James.
Can we head west towards California? I heard folks say there may be a lot gold all it’s important to do is stick your shovel within the floor and you may choose up a nugget the scale of a potato.
Hell, I don’t care which approach 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 Dangerous Lands far-off from anybody else. Possibly we are going to simply head to Yellowstone and hopefully I received’t should battle a bear this journey. Hell possibly we are going to go proper previous it and straight to the Big Redwood Bushes earlier than exploring the California coast.
I’ve stated for a very long time I used to be born within the flawed 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. Day-after-day goes to really feel just like the day my spouse stated get within the automobile lets go for a drive, and we ended up at Niagara Falls.
We will take this journey as significantly as we would like or not significantly in any respect. Greater than probably it is going to be a combination of each. I can see us doing all your regular journey weblog stuff like mountaineering within the Grand Tetons, and the next day heading as much as Washington for the Sasquatch conference.
Possibly we’ll head off into the desert and camp within the again nation the place nobody else has been for a century, or possibly we are going to spend every week at an RV resort hanging out with different nomads within the scorching 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 a minimum of as soon as, and now we get to return and go to them once more and spend much more time in all of them. Now 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.
When you’ve got 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. Now we have stopped all over the place from the Big Ball Of Twine, to Captain Kirks Future Beginning Place, to The Museum Of Pure Historical past and Yellowstone. Assist us make this subsequent 2 years as attention-grabbing and as quirky as potential, and if ya see us on the street, Come Say Hello!
Effectively, I assume the one factor left to do now’s whistle for the canine, crack the reigns and holler Yippee Ki Yay.
