Hello all!!
Due to family obligations old and young, my nomad life is a couple years off, but I'm ready to start learning & prepping for it TODAY.
I've been in love with road trips since probably infancy, when my father would take us on long trips back to his family in Kansas. That love has ramped up in recent years and I enjoyed 18,000 mostly wonderful miles in 2018/2019.
Who am I? Late 40's married female, mother of three, living in a couple acres of forest on Eastern Long Island. Passions include knitting & crochet, cooking, reading, hiking, baking, COFFEE, so much music (Dave Matthews, Phish, Stevie Wonder, 21 Pilots, Mike Doughty), hypothesizing & theorizing better/easier ways to do things, medicine, psychology, cats, dogs . . . I got obsessed with watching La Liga when I had a FUBU trial (Messi > Ronaldo) . . . I can make a mean XP farm in Minecraft . . . Favorite YouTube channels are CRVL, CreativityRV, IBXToycat, Gone With The Wynns . . . Current favorite states are probably Wyoming & Washington. First place I want to go the next time I get on the road is Montana, I've never been.
But first! I have a couple questions and I'm not sure the perfect place to ask them. I have a 2015 Honda Pilot, it's capable of towing like 3000lbs, it has a covered thingy on the back where I think a tow thing goes but i don't even have the words on how to google it and could i really just buy something off Amazon, put it there, and then dangle 3000 lbs off my car by it? That sounds crazy. Similarly, I would like to attach a yakima cargo box (when I win the lottery) but there are no rails or racks or -- I don't know exactly what I need! Can some clue me into the best place to ask about these things?
Thanks a bunch!!
