I would love to sit down with you and discuss life GS. I am sure we could conjure up many laughs and great memories :-) On a much lighter note, (and going back to the original post), my husband did the belt and tensioner assembly. Now, I am waiting on him to change both the upper and lower...

The AEP land is actually in the extreme SE/central part of Ohio - he is in the extreme NE - however, I have heard great things about staying at the AEP and it might be a "leisure" time spot for him when he is off a few days.

Depending on how far you are willing to drive to get to and from work - I would suggest checking more out toward Ravenna/Mantua/Shalersville area for camp grounds - but to be honest, $8 a night is a good rate in my opinion (and, I am really surprised you found anything that cheap in Stow) - I...

Long before my children came along (actually, before my late husband came along), I was in this man's shoes - well, I never stank - always managed to find a place to clean up, whether it was a sponge bath or a tub bath. Most of my issues came from PTSD and depression caused by it - most of my...

I have checked out their web site and am interested in learning more about maybe going to work for them. My question is, does anyone here actually work for them (sales only)? One of the major things I need to know is, if I were to do this is it self-sustaining work......I am on SSI and I get...

Was finally able to get everything taken care of to get it home - will take pictures tomorrow, if it's not raining. Maybe, I should just wait until I get it cleaned out as it's a mess. Discovered it needs more work (body/engine) than disclosed to me by my niece but, it isn't nothing we can't...

Hi and welcome from NE Ohio. I haven't hit the road yet but got my van, title came yesterday, and will be starting my build this weekend. I hope you find what you are looking for in the way of your freedom. Barbara

As you know, I am in about the same place in my life so I do feel your frustration. If you are looking for a work at home job instead of an "opportunity" I may be able to help you with that. Before I got to the point of not being able to sit in a desk chair for long I worked for a company...

I hope they find the problem soon.  :) I will check out the WNF site and see what I can find. I know I can also dry camp at the GPAA sites so that will help as well - 3 weeks at AEP the 2 weeks at the Loudonville GPAA site - yep, sounds like a plan.

I hope they find the problem soon. :)

Thank you. I will pick them up next week when I go to get the insulation.

Yes, things are looking brighter and I see boondocking in my near future :D I do the craigslist for shopping, and even some groups on facebook but, I completely forgot about freecycle as I have logged into it in a couple of years - thank you for reminding me.

Okay, I re-visited the map and it is north of the Wayne National Forest. here is a link to the website for the AEP ReClaimation properties. http://www.aep.com/environment/conservation/recland/

I truly believe that my frustration has subsided now but, I also believe it came from me being over-anxious to get moving - I have been dreaming of doing this for several years and now I am this (stretches arms out widely) close...........researching has been great though ;)

Had to give up riding a motorcycle years ago - okay, my definition of being disabled is that my lower back, hips, knees, and feet are full of osteoarthritis; I was also injured in 2006 and it put me off my feet for a year and a half - until I was able to walk again instead of using a wheel...

Yes, I have decided to "build on the fly" as well. Will be yardsal'ing next week to find a cabinet; putting my chair and ottoman in the back (I sleep in it a lot anyway) until I can get my bed built; a bucket with a "seal-tight" toilet seat; and cooking outside when possible - when not possible...

I will have to check the map again as I'm not sure if it is part of WNF. My husband and I use to take the kids to Hocking Hills and I love the southern part of Ohio so I am sure I will feel right at home at the ReCreation land.

I truly do believe this - just needed to get my frustration off my chest. :)

Yes, that's exactly where I am talking about. I have not been there yet but, I love Marietta as well as Hocking Hills so I plan to bounce between the two while saving the money I will need to transition to the west where the weather, I hear, is more conducive to my health.

Believe me, I would love to get a job and be 100% self-supportive again as I really, really miss those days but, I am disabled now. Barbara
