New-Rig-Roadtrip-Ready-Bob Davis Podcast 1165

New Rig RoadTrip Ready

New Rig Roadtrip Ready. Firstly, got a new rig and a big announcement for long time listeners and subscribers to The Bob Davis Podcasts.

Difficulties

Secondly getting these two things done this summer proved to be difficult. One of the reasons there hasn’t been a new podcast in awhile.

Roadblocks

In other words sometimes it felt like there were roadblocks at every corner.

Tough Times Require Determination

When things get tough it’s important to realize it’s one step after another.

Follow Through

By all means follow through became the order of the day.

School Bus Anyone?

To begin with I wanted a School Bus.

However searching for a ‘Skoolie’ proved to be disappointing to the point of becoming depressing.

Asking For Help

At length I decided I needed help.

Enter my old friend Ed Johnson. Afterward things got easier and more fun.

In reality Ed couldn’t understand why I wanted a school bus.

Fire Rescue

In the long run I ended up with a decommissioned Fire Rescue truck.

Best Thing

All in all this turned out to be the best thing that could have happened.

Winter Is Coming

Because my deadline for leaving Wisconsin around Labor Day…

Even More Determination To Get Ready

And due to the fact we took possession of the truck on Labor Day…

Lots Of Work

In reality I had a lot of work to do in the next few weeks to get the new rig road trip ready.

Details in New-Rig-Roadtrip-Ready-Bob Davis Podcast 1165

CDL Required

With this in mind when we bought the new rig we didn’t realize the weight and air brakes required a CDL to drive it.

So I had to go get a CDL.

Solar, Heat and Living Space

In addition there was the issue of Solar Power, creating a living space in a different space, and getting heat in there.

Fall

As a result as fall drew its veil over the fields and lake I went to work.

Before The First Snows

At the end of the day I managed to get out of dodge just before the first snows in early November.

Manifesting

As I have noted I learned a lot about manifesting what one might want.

Better Than I Could Have Imagined

On the whole I was surprised at how what I wanted and what I ended up with turned out to be better than I could have imagined.

Thanks

Finally there’s a lot of people to thank…

New Story

All of the sudden I have a new story to tell.

In time I’ll also share how doing a bunch of stuff I didn’t think I could gave me a new confidence.

Back On The Road

In conclusion I am already back out on the road in the new Unit 11.

YouTube

Join me on the podcasts here as well as on my YouTube channel to see the new rig.

Now that all of this is out of the way I can announce the creation of a non profit.

Details in the podcast and video.

Channel and Travel Plans Quartzsite Cooked

Firstly I have some pre announcement announcements about changes to my podcasts and plans for travel. Secondly it’s time for some real talk about Quartzsite being cooked. Details in Channel-Travel-Plans-Quartzsite-Cooked-Bob Davis Podcast 1164.

Thank You Contributors

Certainly I’ve been honored to receive contributions from many listeners and subscribers to these podcasts.

Future Donations

And I want to do something so that future donations can be at least somewhat rewarding to contributors.

Financial Changes

Therefore I am working on some financial changes this summer.

New Rig

In addition I’ve traveled the USA in the same rig for ten years now.

As a matter of fact Mobile Podcast Command as originally used aa an audio truck back when I needed mixers and studio microphones to do a podcast.

And I travelled quite a bit on those days across the country.

Subsequently I decided to hit the road permanently with the advent of the pandemic in late 2020.

The idea I was going to hit the road in a luxurious RV is equally important.

All things considered I ended up in Mobile Podcast Command.

As a result I have been sleeping on the floor of this 25 year old Ambulance for the past ten years.

Therefore I am looking for a new rig.

Rural America Wisconsin Small Towns

In addition I devote a fair amount of time in this podcast to rural America and Wisconsin small towns.

Best Summer Stories

Furthermore there are plenty of stories about how much I am enjoying one of the best summers in a long time up at the lake.

Content Evolution

To emphasize how my approach to these podcasts has evolved over the years I talk about how I develop content.

Quartzsite Questions and Real Talk

Finally I get a lot of questions these days about Quartzsite which I answer with some real talk.

Favorite-Summer-Roadtrips-Bob Davis Podcast 1163

Favorite Summer Roadtrips

Firstly how about three favorite summer roadtrips to ease your mind? Details in Favorite-Summer-Roadtrips-Bob Davis Podcast 1163.

Secondly holiday travel trips are usually short distance.

For example Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.

However in high summer there’s nothing like a mega road trip to ease your mind…

And make life great again.

A Series Of Roadtrips

Above all so called nomad life is really a series of roadtrips.

So after ten years traveling and five years on the road full time I can give you some ideas to work with.

Modern Life Pressure

Another key point is the pressure many people feel with modern life.

Therefore the need for longer trips is a consideration.

Exploration and Travel

In addition anyone will learn from exploration and travel.

Go With The Flow

By the same token I think longer trips help is ease into going with the flow.

More Fun

And going with the flow means more fun as a result.

Three Roadtrips

Finally I chose these three trips as a general idea.

All Over The US

That is to say they’re designed generally so you can access them pretty much no matter where you are in the United States.

On the other hand a lot of my travels recently have been in the Southwestern United States.

Because I don’t like to do repetitive content these are different ideas.

Route 2 Across The Northern Tier

Accordingly the first trip takes us to Glacier National Forest on US 2 from the Midwest.

Of course you might want to go all the way to Seattle.

The Outer Banks

Secondly there’s nothing like the Outer Banks on the Atlantic.

Eventually taking us from Northern Florida, Georgia, South Carolina all the way to North Carolina.

To be sure there are beaches…

And long Ferry Rides.

These features coupled with the history make this a great roadtrip.

The Red Neck Riviera

Thirdly another coastal trip.

But this one is along the Gulf Coast.

Specifically The Red Neck Riviera.

That is to say the coastal roads from Tallahassee all the way to Mobile, Alabama.

By all means this is one I like to take every time I head west.

Beaches…Food…History

On the positive side there’s plenty of beaches, food and lodging along the way.

Not to mention plenty of history.

All things considered these are my suggestions for some real fun and an escape this summer.
