Hello from CA

[crab]

Hi.  New member here.  Been watching Cheaprvliving on Youtube for a while.  My plan to go nomad is taking shape. 60 yrs old, single, daughter is off to college next year, and I can't see myself continuing to pay rent here. Work is hard to find, I left a job of 11 years and a lot has changed in my industry, and I really don't care .   

I'm outfitting my 94 Ranger ext. cab pickup for camping just because that's what I already own.  See you on the trails.

Hi Crab! and welcome 
Do you have a camper? what kind?  I have a Silverado crew cab, and can't make up my mind whether to get a pop up camper, like the Four Wheel kind, or a small, converted cargo trailer.  Decisions, decisions.

Welcome from a fellow Californian!

I'm down at the other end of the state in south Orange County down in Southern California.

Grass Valley.

I was in Grass Valley once. I was doing some marketing for Grass Valley Switchers and they flew us up from Newport Beach in their company plane.

I'm not in CA right now, but I spend part of each year nomading around the state. I lived there for 20 years, part of it in So Cal, part in the Bay Area.

Grass Valley and Weed were funny to some people back in the sixties.

Hi. I'm also from CA. I'm about an hour north of Sac.

I'm also in Northern California - top of the state... Klamath River Valley. A nice place to visit and boondock on National Forest land... not so much in winter, though. Springtime is nice, and early summer.

Wow, a quick CL search shows that rent in Grass Valley is getting pretty darn high! It's sad when you can't leave the Bay Area and expect to find affordable rent further north.

I've been to GV a few times for the bluegrass festival, and considered moving there a few years ago to drive a school bus, but now I'm glad I didn't. I'd go broke trying to pay the bills.

Welcome to the board!
