On-The-Road-With-Bob-Bob Davis Podcast 1115

On the road with Bob is an answer to a question. Above all it’s the most asked question to me. What’s it like on the road.

Crazy

Even more listeners and subscribers have the impression nomad life is nothing but crazy situations and people.

By all means listen to this podcast as well as this one to learn more.

Listeners Join

At length I thought it would be a good idea to have listeners join as I rolled through Arkansas.

Where Are We Going

Especially since I really didn’t know exactly where I was heading.

Thinking And Processing While Driving

Without reservation the best thing about the zen of being on the road is being able to think.

And process visits with friends and family.

Or even life events.

Not Crazy

In fact life out here is very seldom ‘crazy’.

Equally notable is the actual absence of crazy people and crazy situations.

Accordingly one usually gets into those situations through mistakes …

Or overstepping social boundaries.

Navigation

With this in mind navigation is important.

That is to say I don’t use Google or Map features on my phone.

Ancients Called It A Map

Rather I navigate on the fly with maps.

Mistakes

From time to time mistakes are made.

Happy Accidents

But experience has taught me sometimes mistakes get you right back on track.

Nomad Requirements

Therefore if you can stand being alone…

Even while dispersed camping in a deserted national forest.

Then you’re probably a good candidate for this life.

Back On The Road

In the meantime I can’t say enough how good it feels to be back on the road again.

Behind The Windshield

With this intention the vibration behind the windshield can be quite high.

Quirks Yes

On the other hand I have my quirks.

Stopping at fast food outlets to charge my power station

Or getting off course…

Are two.

All things considered if you get off course once in awhile it’s no big deal.

Advice

In addition this podcast also carries some good examples of what passes for ‘advice’ when you travel with me.

From country music to all terrain tires, diet and more.

Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111

Summer End New Hampshire

Summer end in New Hampshire. The summer of ’23 has been a great one for me. Time to take stock and prepare to head southwest. Details in Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111.

Great Summer

Above all this has been a great summer.

For one thing nomads can move.

Avoided Heat

Therefore I’ve been able to avoid most of the heat.

In fact sometimes Ive been downright cold.

Places

On the other hand I have quite enjoyed all the places I’ve seen and stayed this summer.

Spring

As I have said before I left Arizona in late March.

And spent most of the spring in the shores of a cool Wisconsin lake.

Eventually it was time for travel.

Summer

Firstly heading across a sea of green fields on back roads. My podcast about that experience is here.

Secondly heading north through Pennsylvania to the great New York State. Click here for that podcast.

Finally on to Vermont and New Hampshire.

Back Roads Vibe

All in all my love of movement and back roads has been renewed.

While this may be true I have been making an effort to stay long enough here and there.

Learning

Accordingly learning about a place rather than just driving through.

Detail

Therefore in Summer-End-New Hampshire-Bob Davis Podcast 1111 there’s detail about some of the places I’ve been…

Rich Greens

Especially the rich greens of this part of the country.

History

And the history.

Not All One Thing

All things considered we have been conditioned to believe that the United States is all one thing.

Because every town has the same stores and fast food joints.

But this is really not the case.

Nomad Why’s

Due to my travels it’s become clear there’s still a lot of diversity in different places.

Accordingly this is a big reason I am a nomad.

So many places.

So little time.

Heading West Again Soon

To that end it will soon be time to head west again.

Altogether on the back roads.

American-Heartland-Bob Davis-Podcast-1108

American Heartland

Firstly the American Heartland is thriving. I’ve driven across 6 states so far. All back roads. Avoiding the major cities. Pure Travel Bliss, Details in American-Heartland-Bob Davis-Podcast-1108.

Navigating On The Fly

In addition I’ve been navigating on the fly.

Two Parts

Secondly this podcast is recorded in two parts.

Therefore two different locations in the American Heartland.

Hello Road

All things considered it is great to be back on the road.

Sea Of Green

In fact rolling through a sea of green…

Alone On Two Lanes

Even more most of the time no one else on the road but me…

Pure Travel Bliss

All of this must be remembered as truly pure travel bliss.

Don’t Listen To The Alarmists

Another key point the the talk about food shortages and other alarmist content.

Bursting At The Seams

As a matter of fact I am here to tell you the American Heartland is bursting at the seams with plenty as we near the harvest.

Value

It’s important to realize the value of actually ‘going down to the front’.

Rural America

That is to say going out to actually see what is going on in rural America is worth the trip.

Not A Fairy Tale

To be sure it’s not a fairy tale.

Contrast Surprises

But I am always surprised by the contrast of Urban Blight and the abundance of farm states.

Hitting The Road Again

Above all I have been stationary for months camped out on a Wisconsin lake shore.

So hitting the back roads for pure unfettered travel is fantastic.

New York State On The Horizon

I am henceforth headed to New York State to pick up my lithium power station from the Campulance Man.

Off Grid

I am truly off grid afterward heading for New York’s Pioneer district.

Love It

Thirdly this is what I do and I love it.

All in all I love traveling this way…

Learning

Furthermore I find opportunities to ask questions and learn.

Soul Killing Mind Numbing

Comparatively air travel and the interstates can be soul killing and mind numbing.

I do what I do for that reason.
