What are the odds of that happening? If it did, you might be surprised by the kindness of strangers. Trying to cover all possible what-ifs is a challenge!

Spiff, you're right, should have mentioned the inverter. We have a nice solar panel setup.

I started out with cp/m, then dos, then windows, and about 3 years ago got a MacBookPro. I also have an ipad. 1,2. I'm gradually trying to become less dependent on a specific platform so that if I need to change computers, my files are mostly already in Dropbox. I adore Evernote for this...

Regarding not being able to rescue a dog in NM, just last week at Rockhound State Park near Deming I met a Canadian fellow with a minpin (Miniature Pinscher) he'd adopted from the shelter in Deming about a month before that.

I could write a ton here but will just add one point: we have small dog, half Sheltie and half Papillon, who we got from a rescue group, and he is over-reactive and barks way too much, including at good friends he knows well. We also have a mellow, easygoing Rottweiler. Both travel in our...

I've made a few hundred bucks on mturk, mostly last fall before we hit the road, and I just put it into my amazon.com account and used it there for purchases for the trip. I estimated that I was making about 6 bucks an hour but I was doing it at times when I was tired and couldn't do much else...

I haven't found people to be that reluctant to share their ages, specially after I mention that I am 72. Here is a blog post I did about a couple I met: http://simplegreenliving.com/5539/chat-19-year-full-time-rvers/ If you do the math in the article, you might think they were 78 or 79 but...

Cyndi, I think you'd better remove your bright red footer. You're not a big meanie, well, who doesn't have some aspects of that? But you prove yourself repeatedly to be the opposite!

agreed!

New blog post, after I got tired of friends and family being cloyingly jealous of our trip: http://simplegreenliving.com/5662/five-dirty-details-rv-living/

Fascinating, thanks for sharing! I'm beyond some things and I think this is one of them, but loved reading about it.

I spent a winter in the Columbus / Deming area over 15 years ago, when we were fulltiming. An American foodie friend of mine who lived in Columbus would go to Palomas with a kitchen knife (this was pre-911) and a basket. She would buy avacados in Palomas, sit on a bench, cut the avacados in half...

I'm blogging about our trip, and I put links to my blog posts on FB and usually here. My newest post has been getting much more response from my friends than anything else I've written, makes them want to hit the road! They aren't posting comments on the blog but they are emailing me and posting...

Gotta chime in as another VW bug traveler. In the early 70s, we took the back seat out of our bug. Kelly made the backs of the front seats removable too, and put most of our stuff in a homemade cartop carrier. We crossed the US with his 2 year old daughter playing in the back seat... it was a...

May 2015 be a year of happiness, along with whatever else!

We now have unlimited service with Verizon, on a plan they aren't offering any more, but at the time we had Straight Talk, we didn't have unlimited service, just a little bit.

Bitty, I just want to add to the chorus of voices loving your posts and wishing you the very best! You have and amazing spirit!

Here's the link to the book, free but you need to download it chapter by chapter... it's a revised edition and this is the publisher's website: http://hesperian.org/books-and-resources/ The publisher also links to the Kindle edition but heck it's $17 and change.

We heartily disliked Straight Talk when we tried it 9 or 10 months ago. We couldn't figure out how much service we had left and when we called customer support we had to wait forever and then got confusing answers. It did keep us connected on a 3-week trip, that's the best I can say for it.
