Most importantly I am in Quartzsite Arizona Live for the biggest RV show of the year. But I arrived here a week early! Join me for a Quartzsite primer in Quartzsite-Arizona-Live-Bob Davis Podcast 976.
Crazy Stories
Firstly I have heard this story differently before.
Secondly the truth is even more bizarre.
Camels and Quartzsite
To clarify Camels and Quartzsite go back to 1850 and then Secretary of War Jefferson Davis.
Further I can’t wait to get into the RV culture and look for some Mobile Podcast Command creature comforts.
Nomad Travel Vehicles Too
In the same vein there are many different people and unique types of nomad travel vehicles here.
Staying In The Desert
Finally thanks to my friend Neil Seven I’ll be headed west to the California desert for the most bizarre and intense off road race in the country. Lots of other RV people and nomads headed that way as well.
Road School Is Damn Good Therapy
In conclusion call it wandering, being a nomad or just road school. Hanging with Mobile Podcast Command and going where I want is pretty damn good therapy for whatever ails you.
Firstly this moment calls for a more sedate and perhaps philosophical tone.
Secondly I’m down here in Arizona at a campground. There’s not a lot of social interplay going on.
Meanwhile I am live from Organ Pipe National Monument. Local Arizonans told me this used to be the most dangerous park of all. Well, the Ambassador explained the origins of that moniker. I’ll fill you in during Happy-Nomad-New-Year-Bob Davis Podcast 974.
On the other hand there’s a lot to think about this New Year’s.
Most importantly a blanket ‘thank you’ to clients and supporters of the podcast, especially since I started traveling full time.
However I don’t let go of those subjects lightly. In short I am not a light talker or thinker. And despite all the talk of 2021 having to be ‘amazing’ just because 2020 was ‘so bad’ seems a little silly to me.
In addition why do guys do what we do? For Don it’s about feeding a family and doing what has to be done.
But for me it’s about the open road and pure freedom.
Most importantly in this time lots of people are on the road.
Whether they’re working in one city and commuting to another or hitting the road in the same vein as I am, it doesn’t matter.
Finally even though it seems foreign, strange or even scary to some…It’s home to us.
To sum up we both get a lot of questions about life on the road. Time for a freewheeling conversation with two road warriors about what it’s like, why we do it and why we love it.
Most importantly welcome to Truck Stop Nomad Radio! Spending a lot of time in truck stops these days. Getting some good shots of the ruins of twentieth century America out here in the South West. Learn more in Truck-Stop-Nomad-Radio-Bob Davis Podcast 972.
Suggestions and Support For Nomad Life
Certainly I get a lot of suggestions. And I welcome the support and interest in this nomad life effort.
Recent Suggestions
Firstly, one of recent suggestion was, get a camera in the truck. Just turn it on and record. That would be my ‘video’ channel. I appreciate the fact that people want to help and participate.
However the mind resists. Makes noise. Produces various reactions.
New Understanding
But until I hit the road permanently I never really fully understood.
Intensely Personal Experiences
In the same vein these are intensely personal experiences.
Personal Memories Too
As a result the memories are also personal. Although I work in the audio medium it’s very difficult to relate those internal processes, let alone produce videos about it.
