Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109

Ohio Pennsylvannia Upstate New York

Firstly I made it across Ohio and Pennsylvania to New York State faster than I thought on back roads. Secondly a mechanical triggers a great experience in one of America’s oldest industrial towns. Details in Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109.

Back Roads Are Not Slow

Above all anyone who tells you back roads are slow should note the time and distance in for this nomad.

See America

Of course the fact that you get to really see America is another point.

For example I was rolling across the country until a mechanical problem brought me to Jamestown New York.

Jamestown New York

Instead of freaking out I went to more than one mechanic in Jamestown until we figured the problem out.

Certainly that’s a great argument for working a problem until you have a solution.

People

But I also got to know some great people.

History

And learned a little history too.

All the info is in Ohio-Pennsyvania-Upstate-New-York-Bob Davis Podcast 1109.

Avoiding Major Cities

The most compelling evidence for back roads travel though is being able to snake through the green fields and hills of rural America all the way east.

Equally important I think is also being able to avoid all major cities.

Campulance Man

Notwithstanding a quick visit to rural Rochester New York to pick up my power station from the Campulance Man. Check out his videos on YouTube here.

Best Trips

Without a doubt this has been one of the best trips I’ve taken.

Simplicity

Surprisingly the reason is simplicity itself.

Avoid Friends and Family

That is to say I have learned over the years to avoid detours to visit friends and family.

By all means I love my friends and family.

Complications Complicate

One the other hand when you complicate things on the road it can get really complicated very quickly.

Alone Time

As much as I like being with people I also am comfortable with alone time.

Accordingly there’s a lot of alone time threading the back roads.

Adirondacks

At the present time I am making my way through New York’s Adirondacks…

And it is incredible.

All in all plenty of time to think and enjoy the moment.

Still Love The Desert

Certainly my time in the desert has convinced me to return as soon as possible.

Mountain View

But what a trip across the San Diego mountains in to the San Diego metro. (Editor’s note: I keep referring to this route as ‘522’ when in fact it’s S22. A county highways through the mountains and well worth the time)

Moreover there’s some great stories in this podcast including my epic battle with flies at the Salton Sea.

It’s Always Something

In conclusion there aren’t too many nomads out here with brand new RV’s that don’t break down or have problems.

It’s always something.

Smoothing The Road

Subsequently having resources across the country can smooth the road considerably.

Go With The Flow

Above all there’s still a need to go with the flow.

All About The Experiences

When we push too hard we miss opportunities to have great experiences.

Enriching Life

Most importantly we miss out on developing great relationships that enrich our lives.

Sometimes in the most unlikely places.

Back Roads Forever

Second of all there’s travel always on the back roads. I’ve certainly done my fair share of it. Even more travel in a Twenty year old ambulance with very few comforts of home.

Hit The Road

That is to say I decided to get rid of everything I own and hit the road. Forever.

Few Comforts

Above all that means hitting the road with a camp stove, hammock and a few other ‘comforts’.

Crazy? I’ve Been Tested!

Certainly people think I am crazy. Where do you get your mail? What do you do when you want to sleep in a bed? How can you function without a toilet and a shower?

Leap Into The Unknown

In conclusion this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. A huge leap into the unknown.

Feels Wonderful

In the same vein getting rid of everything but essentials and driving away from an empty house feels wonderful.

Might try it sometime!
