The loss of Highdesertranger drives home that one person can have a great impact. I never got to know him and wish I had. I do know that he had a great wealth of knowledge and was generous with it. We learned what we could from him and now we can no longer ask him for advice and information...

Life on the road has it's own problems.  Because we aren't property owners or registered voters in the places we stay in or pass through we are often treated as outsiders.  When things go bad LEO's can't always be counted on to be fair or reasonable.  Do any of you have lawyers on retainer to...
