Hi I'm Dale or Dirty_Jeeper,<div>I started this process way back in 2003 after an accident which helped me see what was really important in life. It was then I started shedding my material belongings and paying off my debts. Another accident in 2008 left me disabled and again awakened the desire for a simple life. By the beginning of 2011 enough was enough.I parted ways with all that wasn't what I considered essential. Going from a fully furnished 3 bedroom place down sized to my Jeep! I left Los Angeles in my 1997 Jeep Cherokee or XJ if you will taking only my dog and what ever else would fit. Long story short, I ventured around my old hometown of Tucson Az, camping as I went, then back to a remote ranch in the Sierras where I worked for room and board doing what I could. Then by July a long time friend, became my significant other and she convinced me to move east. So we again loaded the Jeep and crossed the country together to her home in South Jersey.</div><div><br></div><div>As she continues her downsizing and waits for her retirement in 2013, I've begun re purposing another XJ or Cherokee which I bought for parts. It is becoming a trailer with a kitchen area in the back and living/sleeping space in the front.It will be matched to my jeep in ride height for taking beyond where the pavement ends. Both will be tall not only for off road use but with my neck and back issues and height it makes getting in and out much easier. It's not good on gas but gives us our ability to explore the back roads without the worry of getting stuck and stranded.</div><div><br></div><div>So soon we will be testing our new road home this summer around the east coast in preparation of moving west.</div><div><br></div><div>Dale</div>
