    Here is a pano of the RTR camp I took this morning from the roof of the RV.

    Welcome to the RTR!

    We are on our way. Just did our first overnight in Tucumcari, NM. So cold here. Next stop is Holbrook, AZ and then to Quartzsite and RTR. We hope to arrive Tuesday afternoon to the RTR. We are a family of 4 +2 little dogs in a 30ft Class A. We will try to find a spot that's not going to bother...

    With the upcoming RTR, identify yourself

    Howdy. I'm Chris and here is my family. Andrea is my gorgeous wife. Two kids George and Ainsley. Recent family photo at the "happiest" place on earth. Too many people for me but that's off topic. We will be a new full time nomadic family in 2016 and RTR is our first stop. We will be...

    Oklahoma State University. But I loved Boise State when they pulled the statue of liberty play out and beat Oklahoma a few years ago.

    Also not saying this is practical but I have ridden a bike for 21 hours straight.

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    Thanks for the link. Super useful. Yeah I won't be able to service a wide area and I really don't want to. If there was someone who was say 25 miles or more away then either I couldn't help them or they might have to come to me. Trust me. People drove 2 hours to do a 1 hour training session...

    Bob thank you so much for the opportunity. I will take you up on the free class/workshop idea. I used to do workshops in the Apple store in front of large crowds. I know how to give a good workshop. I have no doubt in my skills and experience.  But here's the deal I'm not wanting to show up to...

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    This is really good. I'm starting to get an idea of how this might work. Everyone's feedback is very helpful and encouraging. Tech workshops might be the key. I have actually done workshops in the past, at the Apple Store and at schools. They always led to people wanting to pay for...

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    You are right it's easier to do an erase and reinstall. But if you don't have a decent internet connection then the Windows updates might take forever. So then it might be worth it to try and clean up the computer. There are some tools I have in mind that would work good a slow internet...

    Yeah Fat bikes are not really the best on pavement. But it's not about going as fast as possible. It's about adventure and taking our time. One of our goals is to not be in hurry and to explore. A Fat bike it perfect for how we will use them. Yes the big tires act as suspension. No different...

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    Hi Zonie, I like your honest perspective. I also like the idea of a kiosk at large events. I'm going to use Quartzsite this year to learn a lot and see if and where I can fit in.  As far as your concerns about the RV/bike freaking out ma and pa. 1st. I'm not going to drive the RV to someone. If...

    Thank you Grant for your response. I just checked out Village that might be a good resource. You are correct the tech people that are doing this on the road are programmers or app developers. I unfortunately don't have those skills. Although I would be great in the user experience area. Anyways...

    Drop the PSI to 6 and they just roll over them. If we ever run into each other you'll have to take a ride. The most fun you can have on a bike.

    Ha thanks Bindi. Maybe a magical hammer might be the right tool.

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    Thanks Bob. That's exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for. I figured it wouldn't be a year around business. Those locations sound great. Hoping to make it to the rubber tramp thing this year. And no we will not have a tow car. All short distance trips will be accomplished by FAT bicycles...

    Computer/Phone Repair as a nomadic job?

    As we are preparing to move our family of four out of our house and into a 1997 30ft Trek RV full-time, we are trying to come up with different jobs or sources of income. One idea I've had is computer/phone repair. In my current job I supervise computer sales and repairs. Specifically I am an...
