Thanks Jim! It’ll be great to see you again! - Lisa

I’m trying to do a DIY solar install by myself, but getting the big solar panel up on the roof seems like a challenge! So if you’re in the Flagstaff area and are willing to help me, I’d really appreciate it.  I bought everything from N AZ Wind & Sun. It a 320 watt panel. I can drive to wherever...

Not sure where to start or who to call. I have a broken leaf spring on my 27’ 5th wheel. It detached from the frame, then pierced the tire.  I’m about 1/8 of a mile down a dirt road at Government Wash in Lake Mead near Las Vegas. Any suggestions? Thanks! Lisa I tried to add photos, but I...

What is the schedule of classes and events at the WRTR? Thanks! Also, is there a link to the WRTR Facebook group? - Lisa

LynnJa999, I’ll be traveling on I-10 starting on January 1st, in Lordsburg New Mexico. If you want to meet up. There’s a free camping spot there that’s easy to get to. Same route I took last year. Then there’s several Casinos to park free at. Snyder Hill BLM just south of Tucson. All on...

What happened to the leader of the caravan? Who is it? Lisa

You can offer FREE products or services. Just don't mention the word donations or anything to do with money (neither on your sign nor verbally). No tip jar. Most people will want to give you money or something in trade anyway. Sometimes they don't have any money to give you. But you will meet...

I need recommendations for a tax person / accountant who understands or is tolerant of the nomadic lifestyle. And patient with someone who is mathematically challenged. My brother does my taxes and always waits til the last minute. It drives me nuts because I'm not always in a...

Watch Bob Wells excellent YouTube series on living rent-free or really cheap rent. I think you'll find a variety of good options. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHGaauu2NozkIZwICU2S_QE2TVvHcRWR3 Lisa

If you are headed for Arizona on I-40, check out McHood Park in Winslow Arizona. You can stay there for free for 2 weeks! No hookups no facilities, but fairly close to town for supplies. It's an old RV park type place. Tents, vans, RVs welcome. Nice camp host. While you're in Winslow, be sure...

I'm in northern New Mexico now. Heading for middle-eastern New Mexico next week. Where are you now? Lisa

Thanks for your generosity! If you have the space and don't mind carrying the stuff with you to the RTR, people love to grab it off of the Free Pile. You could also take it to the van build in November, where it will be much appreciated.

I know Bob hasn't formally announced them yet, but where are the mentoring Caravans going to start from?  If they are starting in September, that's only 2 weeks away. It would be helpful to know a general area, so interested people could start heading that way. It takes time to plan for...

Lot of free national forest lands to camp in near Flagstaff. A-1 Mountain rd, Walnut Canyon, Cinder Lake (Cinder Hills?) OHV area. Dogtown Lake near Williams, AZ.

I was a member for a year, but didn't renew because it was too expensive to feel obligated to have to buy something every place. A bottle of wine is an extravagance for me. Although I did like the berry farms in Oregon. The little pies were fabulous! Lisa

Highdesertranger I'm in Colorado right now. Heading for New Mexico next week. Colorado has been particularly difficult to find Recycling options. I've discovered that if you're in a big enough city, Whole Foods Market has a Recycling bin. Sometimes public parks have a Recycling can next to the...

Hi nomads! If you're looking for camping buddies in Colorado, me and my pups would love to have some company. I'm near Woodland Park Colorado, and have room for a couple more rigs. Free camping, cool temps, 9200' national forest. PM me. - Lisa

I like to recycle my plastic, paper and glass. In fact, I insist on recycling! So sometimes I end up carrying my recyclables around for a long time (which I don't have space for).  Some cities have signs and cameras forbidding the public to put recyclables in available bins. Or they want to...

I'm in the Pike National Forest near the cute little town of Woodland Park, Colorado. It was 78 degrees today, 9200' elevation. You or anyone are welcome to join me and my 2 pups. PM me. - Lisa

I've had quite a lot of work done on my 5th wheel at Buddy's.  They did a great job installing my solar (I bought all the parts at N. Arizona Wind and Sun). Installed 12 volt sockets inside house. Fixed my roof after I misjudged my height and hit a low branch. Welded a front hitch receiver on my...
