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

    My experience comes long before yours. Before Howard Hughes, When Teamsters money flowed freely and big city "investors" skimmed their share....Trying to scheme the system found you in a hole in desert never to be heard or seen again. These are very real events. The old time "investors" did get...

Thoughts running through me head so fast they are bumping into each other. Now my son showed with "the dog". He is raiding my fridge, and "the dog" is eating an onion. Will...

    I might stop by on my way outbound. The first while will be slow going. I'll be in touch when the time gets close. Ken

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

    I'll take only a moment to comment. In 20 years I traded my learned skill for the home I own, Notice I said home. I traded my sweat for money, It was many more times it's value than any gift, It was not a gamble. My kids and I have a place to leave from knowing that there is a place to return...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    Respectfully disagree. On some superficial level you are correct, we trap ourselves. However my daughter, now diseased found herself in a bad situation with an abusive husband, far away from family and friends with no way to cry for help. She and her kids were trapped! I got her kids out, Dealt...

    2tu808, Hum that's a heck of a name. Your going to have a lot of fun on these forums over time and it does take time. To me, I get a chance to verbalize my thoughts. Helps me clear mental confusion and air out some clutter that seems all jumbled up at times. A great deal of the give up and quit...

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

    Another one of those cussid nightmares. The mind is a terrible thing. It's now -5 with a north breeze. If I go outside I'll have to put on a shirt, maybe pants and shoes. Heck, It's still dark out there. Was just thinkin', makes my head hurt but I did it anyway. I bet I could just go out where...

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

    Now there is something I can work with. I'm in Northern Michigan, -4 here now, brrrr. Anyhow, As soon as is practical I'll be moving. Was sort of thinkin a little south then west to start, Kentucky is sort of South and on the way west if you think about it. Since I have no idea about any of this...

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

    That's what I'm counting on, although I know nothing is cast in concrete. I might fit and It might take some time to relax around strangers. Right now I can't leave, snowed in. I'll be there later, when things thaw out some. Then, I will follow along till I learn the ropes. I have no plan on...

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

    Now that's a convoluted story. Rags to riches and back to rags again. Good luck my friend. Sounds like just maybe your inner judgment needs some tweaking. Going back to the familiar has not worked it seems. Your choice of women is a little off kilter. Better just steer clear. I'm taking my own...

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

    Ya see, I think getting out there and "just live" sounds great. Just live, I've done that Never considering that the just live days would end. So just live has to take on a new meaning. Been thinkin' for a while now. I'm still alive, that's a start, now what? Here is what I've been thinking...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    Smart person you. Facts are what they are. Even when I was a child too young to know the difference my mom was the most beautiful, soft and snuggly. My dad and grand dad were always strong and dependable and rough. I liked that too but always came back to mom for comfort when I skinned my shins...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    This is great RonDean. You are getting older so the choices of partners who are open to explore life as a brand new adventure are almost non existent. Most men and women make those choices in there late teens and to mid 20s. I'll take a guess here but from what I see around me, nearly 50...

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    Me too, sort of. Looking back in my mind to 60 years ago. I found a perfect life's partner. We really lived life, always talking each other into stuff big and small, each had time to listen and help the other reach for their dream. That life has ended now, so back to the beginning, start over...

    I am some what of a motor cycle guy too. Bought a Kawasaki 1500 classic in 96. Have tow behind trailer for it. Spent many vacations over the years just poking around nooks and crannies across the northern tear of states. I don't mean weekend warriors stuff either, Minimum of a week, up to a...

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

    Hey, you are you, you talk how you want around me ok? The best way to get on my bad side is to mince around and try to impress me with fancy stuff full of hot air. The fact is, I am old, I look old, and by golly, I feel really old some times. How ever, even as I am, I can still look out for you...

    Paralysis by Analysis

    Opinions are like--- well you know. You need facts, plain and simple. Fact: diesel engines last longer than gas engines, If you can afford the greater cost of maintenance. Fact: Nation wide, Diesel fuel costs more than gas due to taxes. Fact: Diesel mechanics cost more when things do go wrong...

    Thinking about it.

    Good idea to get your feet wet first. As many have said, being a wanderer is a new way of living every day life. Wandering is not advertised as "normal" But to some it's where you find real freedom. If you find contentment in having "things" all around you, Sticks and bricks will drag you back...
