Since the RV didn't work out (that sucks), are you still aiming to be up here @ the 19th?

Was it just too far away?

the RV is a bit bigger than practical, & not entirely road tested..
the interior is effectively gutted (which is fine), but I'm still 800 miles from MA..
just a little too iffy, though... I'm still scratching my nuts over it...

need to see what happens..
imma stirring the stew..

best rig for me, i think, if possible (& def is) is an extended4x4 van, ideally with a raised roof (although a couple of truck toppers would be 100% fine..)

that could sleep 5 + 2 dogs & gear, i think, for expeditionary purposes.
longer excursions or homebase, 3+1

an extended van is also a potential daily driver, especially after camp is set.

sooo...

there ya go.

if MA remains priority, i'm still going to look for a rig up there, but it'll need to shelter at least 2, long term, and i saw an old Travco (!!!) for sale up there..

however, if MA pans out well, long term (ha ha fucking ha ha ha), i'll be looking for a boat.
either there or out west.
in any case, if there's a change in the radar lock, i'm heading west.
first NM, then.. fuck.. i dunno..
maybe to the library???
dunno.. most likely up to WA state, if an old job offer holds..

anyways.. stay tuned & if anyone is on the road, lemmee know where TF you are..


peace out mofos..

picked up the Blue Ridge Parkway, east VA.
sweet, sweet road..

national forest land, 45 mph speed limit, no traffic, you can do 25 no problem & camp..

she's always sweet..



a bit like Avenue Of The Giants off US 101, north of CA 1..
no Sequoias, but green & treed & shaded, with trails, nice parking areas & overlooks..

fog in the autumn & spring that I've seen..

just beautifull..

my pic won't upload, so later ; )
surprised i have bars, at all..

Glad youre out and about my friend, "Free at Last! Thank God All Mighty, Creatures Free at Last!"

Hope to see you soon

yah.. feels good..
today is the first day with good miles..
coming out of FL on 95 always fucking sucks, other than just hitting escape velocity..

fresh air up here..

i can feel my fucking spirit finally fucking returning...
