Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168

Is My Rig Wrecked

Is my rig wrecked? Find out in Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168. Firstly most of the time my nomad travel experience is bliss.

The End Of The World

Secondly when things go wrong it doesn’t mean the end of the world.

Transformation

On the contrary when things go wrong the result can be a transformative experience.

That’s what Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168 is all about.

Travel Bliss

For example I was in the middle of pure travel bliss.

And then I discovered a fuel leak.

Mechanical

As a result I visited the service department at the nearest Love’s truck stop.

Subsequently the service department confirmed the fuel link but said they don’t usually do that kind of work.

After that they recommended Freightliner Truck Service…

On the other hand the Freightliner Service was eighty miles away.

So with a fuel link that was out.

Local Businesses

At length I found a heavy truck service place in Coachella and made an appointment for the next day, Monday.

Pleasant Sunday Turned Into A Nightmare

As luck would have it I was spending a pleasant Sunday in the Love’s lot when an 18 Wheeler backed in to one of my doors which was open.

Certainly all the details are in Is-My-Rig-Wrecked-Bob Davis Podcast 1168.

An Accident

To explain, it was an accident.

In addition more than one correspondent on my you tube channel reminded me these kinds of accidents happen all the time at truck stops.

Heavy Truck Repair

After that I headed over to the Heavy Truck repair…

Spent A Full Week There

And ended up spending a week there.

Door Repair?

Furthermore I had some time to determine the best course of action on getting my door repaired.

Joshua Tree

Therefore I ended up in the town of Joshua Tree, California dealing with a perfectly delightful and highly competent fabricator.

Yes It Can Be Repaired

All in all the truck can be repaired and I have even added a few twists to the original plan.

Maybe Better

To that end the truck might be better than before!

Positive Attitude

All things considered it’s so important to maintain a positive attitude.

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.

Joshua-Tree-National-Park-Bob Davis Podcast 1150

Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park is certainly one of the best National Parks in the US. Some rate it the best. I am live from Joshua Tree in Joshua-Tree-National-Park-Bob Davis Podcast 1150.

Dry Lake Bed It Is Not

Of course it is a far dry from the dry lake bed I’ve been staying at for over a month.

Although the dry lake bed has its charms.

Loving National Parks

Equally important is the fact that I am growing partial to National Parks.

Grand Canyon and now Joshua Tree

Of course getting stuck for a month in the Grand Canyon is pretty great. Listen to the Grand Canyon Podcast here.

Bureau of Land Management

It’s important to realize the difference between the Bureau Of Land Management ‘camp’ sites…

Other Options For Nomads

As well as the National Forests, State Parks and of course the National Parks.

Although you have to pay in a national park…and most forests and of course state parks.

And you have a fourteen day limited stay…

Worth It

Altogether it’s worth it.

Discounts and Passes

Especially if you take the time to investigate various discount passes you can get.

BLM Stewardship Is Not Like The National Parks

In addition I spend a little time in this podcast talking about recent issues with the Bureau of Land Management’s stewardship of the land.

Never Pay Camp Fees?

In the same fashion while I know many nomads consider it a badge of honor of they never pay camp fees.

Free Is Good

To be sure free is good.

Condition of Free

However balanced against the state of some ‘free’ campgrounds I wonder whether ‘free’ is actually worth it.

Vibe

Furthermore Joshua Tree National Park has a special vibe.

For one thing two deserts come together in the park.

Therefore one part of a stay in the park might be completely different from another part.

Equally important are the hiking options throughout the park.

No Travel Tips Though

Finally I don’t really do travel tips and I talk about this a fair amount in this podcast.

Presently there are plenty of travel tip and advice videos available on YouTube.

Travel Is A Personal Discovery

But I think the real juice of travel is discovering it on our own.

Now I have certainly gotten myself into more than one mess with this attitude,

On the other hand in the end, it has been worth it.

Grateful for the sponsorship of 36/LYN
