Dear all:
I think one of the reasons I'm here is because my dad liked to roam around, because he was kind to the "gypsies" --and kind to many people who 'don't fit in' as my mom would say...and because, well, I'm not sure.
Right now, honestly, the thought of having no regular home is scary.
And this is true even though we live in a trailer as of 1 year ago. Yet it's not the kind you hook onto your truck & off you go. For one thing, it was built in 1975 & been sitting right here, ever since.
I don't know if I'll ever live out of a mobile anything, but with rent (for the lot where this old trailer sits) is rising---already it's gone up $60 /month since January--- & because I like being in the desert, forest, anywhere in-between, as long as there isn't a lot of traffic noise (as there is here in this trailer park) well, perhaps I will make the leap & live in an RV or something mobile...or maybe I'll need to live in a van while I build a strawbale cabin. (I have helped build with strawbale---long ago)
Because y'all are outstanding DIYers and creative about many things, I look forward to learning as much as I can.
BTW: While watching "Nomadland," I thought a lot about my dad and knew he would've already joined up with y'all. That film not only brought up memories but also fascination--- and fear.
---Thanks for letting me join.
