So the time has come to hit the street. We’ve got spent the final 6 months residing in our RV, not removed from house and close to all of our family and friends. Right this moment we are literally hitting the street and residing the Nomad Life for the following 2 years.
We’re going to cease and see just a few associates 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 positively have been speaking about doing this for some time. So lengthy in truth that everybody stored saying we have been all speak. 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 total stress crammed life has been deliberate, and scheduled, and ready for, and skilled for. I’ve received the gray hair to show it. So right now 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 realizing 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 celebs away from the large 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 right now. No, Right this moment we will take our time and sip our espresso whereas we watch the canine run by means of 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.
Right this moment we get to look to the horizon in each route and determine which manner we need to go. Can we head south in the 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 observe the bison by means of the Black Hills, and disappear into the dangerous lands like Jesse James.
Can we head west towards California? I heard individuals say there may be a lot gold all it’s a must 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 far-off from anybody else. Possibly we’ll simply head to Yellowstone and hopefully I received’t should combat a bear this journey. Hell perhaps we’ll go proper previous it and straight to the Big Redwood Timber earlier than exploring the California coast.
I’ve mentioned for a very long time I used to be born within the unsuitable 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 single 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 will take this journey as critically as we would like or not critically in any respect. Greater than probably it is going to be a mix 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 perhaps we’ll spend every 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 individuals alongside the way in which and are actually wanting ahead to creating new associates on this subsequent model of our adventures.
Small city America right here we come.
When you have any, and I imply ANY recommendations, irrespective of how bizarre, on locations we must always go, or issues we must always do, please tell us. We’ve got stopped in all places from the Big 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 fascinating and as quirky as potential, and if ya see us on the street, Come Say Hello!
Effectively, I suppose the one factor left to do now’s whistle for the canine, crack the reigns and holler Yippee Ki Yay.
