    Modern Day Walden

    I recently found this gem in a thrift store, published in 1979: A Walk Across America by Peter Jenkins Full of stories about meeting people and forming community, the restorative aspects of nature, and getting reacquainted with one's inner voice. Highly recommended.

    Fellow Minnesota Campers - 2020 practice runs

    LaMonster, Gypsy108, Srae29, thanks for connecting! I won't be hitting the road either until 2022 and will be headed to various spots in Arizona initially, but it's looking better and better that the $$$ will actually allow that to happen. I have made a handful of reservations from May to...

    Lol!! They say that like it's a good thing. ;) I wonder who, or what piece of paper, feels entitled to all that land..... Well, this shall not deter me from my mission. Tell me I can't do something, and just watch. :cool:

    I'm a newbie, looking for others in the Upper Midwest area in Minnesota/Iowa/North Dakota/South Dakota/Wisconsin who would welcome some organized nomad practice runs being in Minnesota next summer, 2020.  I'm interested in boondocking, dispersed camping and campsite camping, and I'm in an Hour...

    What a great thread! Thanks for all the suggestions, have quite a few on hold at the library as I am not on the road yet and haven't taken a liking to reading on a device, likely to change once I'm out there and dealing with space issues. I'd like to add memoirs about hiking the Pacific Crest...

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it. Now I just need to craft a clever but subtle tagline to have in the wings. Thanks, Brian, and no worries, badmoterscooter, we're all in this together, right?

    Greetings from Minnesota

    Ah, yes--I am still finding a place in my brain for the dichotomies of state/national and parks/forests.  :rolleyes: I contacted the DNR and got some paper maps for Hay Creek Unit in the Richard J. Dorer State Forest, and Sand Dunes State Forest for dispersed camping. That's what I was...

    Greetings from Minnesota

    Thanks, badmotorscooter, that was very kind of you! Yes, Suanne is my hero in Prius hard-sided tent living; I rewatch her videos every few months to lock in the knowledge. I actually hung out with one of those folks in the search results, David, a few years ago here in Minnesota--so cool to meet...

    Greetings from Minnesota

    Thanks, everyone, for the welcoming good wishes. Gardenia, it is an important distinction. My choosing to name my gender is something I learned as an inclusive practice, in addition to stating what personal pronouns I prefer to be addressed by (she, her, hers), to acknowledge that I understand...

    Greetings from Minnesota

    Thank you, highdesertranger and Gardenias.  Thanks, txmnjim. Good to know there's some other folks from the tundra here. Are there any real-life get-togethers in the state that you are aware of where people to get to know each other and talk about their plans/travels? Or maybe htis question...

    Greetings from Minnesota

    Greetings, All-- Happy to have found this space as I get ready to pull the full-time nomad trigger in 2022. Looking to make some friends and contribute to the amazing community I've come to learn about while watching YT videos and reading what people so generously share about their lives on the...
