When I go out on the road in my Bluebird I will be taking full advantage of BLM, National Forest and, of course, WalMart for free or cheap camping. The fancy Glampgrounds can k...... Well you know.

I do exactly the same thing. and feel the same way about the snotty RV resorts.
If You see something that could have been this in 2012 Its ME.
This was her maiden trip. I had only owned it 6 months back then.

Remember what Billy Crystal taught us on Sat Nite Live: "It's not how you feel, it's how you LOOK...and you..look..MAVALOUS!"

As a long-hair, I know all about this "how you look" thing. At least my beard is now more accepted.... Very few intelligent people who see beyond book covers and read the words....

Speaking of intelligent, my life turned upside down, now I live in my bus, I have no life plan or goals. Can I be your apprentice, CadalacKid?
