The-Great-California-Reset-Bob Davis Podcast 1021

Why I Needed The Great California Reset

Certainly my travel can be too ambitious which is why I needed the great California reset. Above all exhausted after a massive near thousand mile circle through Nevada, California and Oregon. Details in The-Great-California-Reset-Bob Davis Podcast 1021.

Friends In Oregon

Firstly somewhere along the line back in Northern Nevada I decided to visit friends in Oregon.

Secondly it was a wonderful idea.

Fall In Oregon

Fall in Oregon is beautiful.

Crater Lake

For example Crater Lake this time of year.

Multi Colored Forests

And the forests.

Coast To Coast Again

However after my visit in south central Oregon I decided to go ahead and make this another coast to coast trip.

Therefore off to Coos Bay. Headed down the Oregon coast.

And it was lit!

Rain Rain Go Away

However as I entered California it started to rain.

Head Back Through Central California

After that I decided to head back through central California on Highway 36 ultimately over to Nevada.

Cheaper Fuel In Nevada

Consequently I joke that I went to Nevada for cheaper fuel.

Damage From Forest Fires

Most importantly the damage from forest fires I saw was significant.

Greenville

Especially Greenville, California.

Certainly not the only town or property destroyed during these fires this year. Especially the Dixie Fire in 2021.

Cleanup Crews Busy

Likewise the crews cleaning up after this summer’s fires are busy on a huge scale.

Unpredictable Life In The Mountains

To sum up it is a reminder that life in these mountains remains unpredictable.

Life Too

Even more our lives take unpredictable twists and turns no matter how settled we think we are.

All This Travel Makes Me Tired

Finally after all this travel I am in a funk.

High Vibration

To clarify travel is a high vibration and you don’t always know when you’re getting fatigued.

Ridiculous Fuel Prices

Certainly fuel prices are ridiculous in California.

More For Food Too

And I am paying more for food too.

Facts Of Life

Moreover these facts of life right now weigh on me as I travel.

Oregon Trail

Finally I am glad I made the trip to Oregon

Reset Loop

Even more I am grateful for the chance to take the reset loop through California and Nevada.

Death Valley Coming Up

Likewise it’s now back into Cali for a stop in Death Valley.

Warm

And warmer weather.

Coping-With-Setbacks-Shortages-Bob Davis Podcast 1020

Coping With Setbacks and Shortages

Above all no one ever said coping with setbacks and shortages is easy. You can let shortages and setbacks ruin the travel vibe or stay in the flow. Learn about my latest exploits on the road in Nevada in Coping-With-Setbacks-Shortages-Bob Davis Podcast 1020.

Trying To Take My Time Traveling

Firstly I’ve been making quite an effort lately to take my time traveling.

The Plan

Secondly the plan was to spend several days in Nevada.

Not To Be

This was not to be.

Losing A Tire In The Vastness of Nevada

To clarify heading into a campground in the middle of nowhere in the Silver State I blew a tire.

Ely Nevada Is All Right

On the other hand the good news is four tires on the back of mobile podcast command so the remaining three tires carried me safely an additional 48 miles to Ely, Nevada.

Four Kick Ass New Tires And A Oil Change

Further I got myself four new all terrain tires and had a great time in a pretty cool small town in the mountains.

Attitude

As a result of all this I was reminded again how important attitude is.

Gratitude

Gratitude and staying in the flow allowed me to get through this mini crisis with ease.

Be Happy When You Have To Deal With Problems

Moreover I had a pretty good time dealing with some difficult issues.

Even more considering stories in the news about shortages getting four new tires and the filter for the oil change in a small town out west was no small feat.

Parallel To Real Life

Certainly there is a parallel to real life here.

Something’s Going To Give

Most importantly sooner or later something’s got to give.

Just Don’t Lose It

After that some people freak out and the experience ruins their day, trip, month or life.

Right?

Facts Of Nomad Life

However one thing about nomad life I have experienced.

Sooner or later you’re going to end up on the side of the road.

Life Too

So it is with normal life.

Shortages

For example you don’t have to go very deep into social media to learn there are earth shattering shortages coming.

Preppers Cleaning Up

Buy dried food and put it in the basement, right?

Media Horror Stories

Even more there are all kinds of potential horror stories about the pandemic, real estate prices and the stock market to boot.

Stay In The Flow

Finally the one thing I have learned is to stay in the attitude of gratitude.

And to stay in the high vibration travel vibe.

To sum up no one wants to spend a ton of money on new tires.

No one wants to deal with national and international economic issues, right?

On the other hand adults know these things happen.

Therefore it’s best to be prepared and roll with it.

I’ll tell you what I did in Coping-With-Setbacks-Shortages-Bob Davis Podcast 1020.

Breaking News-Ask-A-Nomad-Bob Davis Podcast 1019

Breaking News? Ask A Nomad

These days Breaking News is not something you’d ask a nomad about. However I think we might have some insight. Learn more in Breaking News-Ask-A-Nomad-Bob Davis Podcast 1019.

Insights on Breaking News

Firstly I just finished a podcast with my friend Don and we had some insights on a breaking news matter. Listen here.

Podcasting Isn’t Breaking News Thank God

Secondly that experience reminded me Podcasting is not a great breaking news medium.

Certainly there are podcasts that focus on current events but even these efforts focus on analysis.

Travel Isn’t About Breaking News

In addition I came to the conclusion that travel isn’t about breaking news either.

Especially Nomad Travel.

Moment My Moment

In other words Nomad Travel is a moment by moment experience.

Therefore there is a sort of Zen to it.

Life Back In The World

Even more these days I am thinking more and more about life ‘back in the world’.

In the static day to day world.

Life In The Cities

As a result I thought about how I feel when I am in cities, which I usually try to avoid.

Fear Frustration and Anger

To me the sense of fear, frustration and anger are something I can feel in the cities.

Me Too!

On the other hand I would feel those powerful negative emotions had I not decided to chuck everything and hit the road.

Slicing and Dicing

Finally back in the world there’s a sense of slicing and dicing every event that comes down the pike.

Hitting The Road Is A Trend

Because there are so many new people hitting the road I have a feeling ‘Breaking News’ will follow.

Experts Won’t Be Far Behind

That is to say whenever you get big numbers into a trend the so called ‘experts’ can’t be far behind.

Caution Scolds Ahead

Even more given certain breaking news events look for thousand words tomes cautioning people on the dangers of ‘van life’.

Going Where We’re Drawn

Meanwhile we’re out here going where and when the wind blows us.

The Secret Is Freedom

To sum up the big secret and draw of Nomad Life is Freedom.

Freedom.

A feeling many back in the stationary world don’t have right now.

But there’s lots of breaking news.
