So the time has come to hit the street. We’ve got spent the final 6 months dwelling in our RV, not removed from residence and close to all of our family and friends. At the moment we are literally hitting the street and dwelling the Nomad Life for the subsequent 2 years.
We’re going to cease and see a couple of mates who dwell out of state over the subsequent 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 positively have been speaking about doing this for some time. So lengthy actually that everybody stored saying we have 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 stuffed life has been deliberate, and scheduled, and ready for, and educated for. I’ve received the gray hair to show it. So as we speak 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 positively have it a lot simpler than the pioneers that headed off to the west with out understanding 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 thrill 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.
The place will we go?
I dunno, I’m gonna observe the setting solar till I can’t see it anymore. We’ll make camp for the evening below the celebrities away from the large metropolis. We are able to 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 as we speak. No, At the moment 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 canine face has a smile that received’t go away.
At the moment we get to look to the horizon in each course and determine which manner we need to go. Will we head south in the direction of Texas? I hear they’re giving every household 4,000 acres to lift cattle.
Will we head north to the Dakotas? We are able to observe the bison by the Black Hills, and disappear into the unhealthy lands like Jesse James.
Will 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’ll decide up a nugget the scale 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 in regards to the vacation spot, I’m wanting ahead to the journey.
I’m wanting ahead to revisiting The Dakotas. I can’t wait to go again to the Unhealthy Lands distant from anybody else. Perhaps we are going to simply head to Yellowstone and hopefully I received’t must struggle a bear this journey. Hell possibly we are going to go proper previous it and straight to the Large Redwood Bushes earlier than exploring the California coast.
I’ve mentioned for a very long time I used to be born within the incorrect 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 by 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 are able to take this journey as critically as we would like or not critically in any respect. Greater than doubtless it will likely be a combination of each. I can see us doing all your regular journey weblog stuff like mountain climbing within the Grand Tetons, and the next day heading as much as Washington for the Sasquatch conference.
Perhaps 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 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 all the decrease 48 states at the least 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’ve got met some wonderful folks alongside the best way and are actually wanting ahead to creating new mates on this subsequent model of our adventures.
Small city America right here we come.
You probably have any, and I imply ANY recommendations, irrespective of how bizarre, on locations we should always go, or issues we should always do, please tell us. We’ve got stopped in all places from the Large Ball Of Twine, to Captain Kirks Future Start Place, to The Museum Of Pure Historical past and Yellowstone. Assist us make this subsequent 2 years as attention-grabbing and as quirky as attainable, 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.
