    Hello from NM

    Thanks for the added info and I did consider that area of AZ getting restrictive and glad I headed to where I am but the possibility of increased code loving folks trying to change things is possible everywhere in due time.

    If You Could

    If You Could

    Your fine as you are and when you get older you will have gleaned much more life experience and even a BS degree only to find out everything you valued most; freedom,physical exercise,nature,music,solitude and the spiritual world is all that really matters. And if you can find a women who shares...

    Holidays are for the slaves……..

    How soon will electric or hybrid vans/RVs be common?

    Probably leaving the forum

    Appreciate your post here and I just look for places online free of zombie's thanks for not being a zombie lol ~ Also I am dealing with the greedy getting greedier by consuming less. Making and growing more of what I consume. With the gas prices I am inclined to travel far less - zero. If ya...

    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    Well and richly said. I am happy for you as one who lived in a step van years ago and until recent was a snowbird.
