New "again" here ;)

I had forgotten about becoming a member of the forum, in 2016, and ended up in an apartment for seniors over 62.  I've been here 5 years and have all I need, and quite a few extras, but not my dreams.  I used to travel a lot, just from job to job, throughout the U.S.  It was always easy to find my type of work through temp. agencies (admin. assistant, clerical). 

I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, kayaking, and have a wonderful roommate name Mimmie the Dog She is 4, and some folks couldn't keep her so I reluctantly brought her home.  I had lost my dog years ago, she was 15 and I wasn't wanting the responsibility.  She is the best thing that's happened to me in a very, long time.  She's an easy-keeper.

I'm not at all sure full-timing is for me, but I am hoping to get in on some "meetups" to do some camping this Summer.  I know with Covid, we have to be careful so I don't even know if anyone is doing this with newcomers etc.  I have a lot to learn so I will just leave this intro as is, and take a look through the forum.  I found it by way of Youtube videos from Bill Wells (hope I got the name right).

The longest I camped on my own was a place called Butler Bar up Sixes River just above Port Orford, OR.  I was there 2 weeks.  I hauled water, searched for wood made one 46 mile RT into town for groceries.  I actually hooked up one of those portable showers.  Washed my clothes in the creek with "safe" soap, layed in the sun everyday, met a lot of nice people, mostly from close-by towns along 101.

Best camping trip of my life and I was all alone, except for camping neighbors which were no trouble.  I'm totally ignorant about camping where there aren't toilets, and atleast a water or lake nearby though   I need my rig fixed up comfy though for sure.  It's been 6 years now since I "roughed" it but I so want to try it out.  Thanks for the welcome Gypsy!!

Welcome!  Come on down to Quartzsite this winter for a visit.

Have friends that go there every year, and my brother went down to try it out 2 Summers ago.  He loved it!  

I atleast got to fly down to  Apache Junction in November and they couldn't keep me in the house. I was out walking every night for 2 weeks, gorgeous, just loved how the air felt.  Maybe I'll make it that far, we'll see how things go   Thank you for the welcome
