So many roads…

…so much time. Since I was a young man I have traveled many thousands of miles to reach wild places, in which I hiked & slept in a small tent with lightweight backpacking gear. Days were few on each trip, and I always had to hurry home to work.

Time opens before me now like a road that rolls past the horizon. It waits only for me to go and follow. A tent and camp stove just won’t be sufficient. So I got a wild idea to buy this:

The crazy thing contains a queen bed, kitchen, full bath, table & sofa, solar panel and batteries, generator, heater and AC, water tanks, and more gadgets than I have yet learned. All sitting on the truck like turtle shell.

For the first time in my 65 years, I can leave for anywhere, at any time I wish, and come home only when I am ready. (A freedom I am still having to learn.)

First decision: where to point myself and go first….

      Hi, Joe. It’s great to hear from you! Like you, most of my destination plans are to higher, cooler places. Are you still in the Austin area? We should meet up with old friends in Rockdale soon, and talk about places we all want to go. I hope you are doing well.
