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.

Las Vegas-Joshua Tree-Bob Davis Podcast 1147.jpg

Las Vegas-Joshua Tree-Bob Davis Podcast 1147

Las Vegas To Joshua Tree

Firstly Las Vegas-Joshua Tree-Bob Davis Podcast 1147 is about a computer meltdown forcing the nomad back on the road.

Secondly I am not mad about it.

Thinking About More Travel

Most importantly I have been thinking about traveling more lately.

Roll With The Punches

Altogether sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.

Water and PC’s Don’t Mix

Although this may be true when you spill water on your PC unexpectedly it stirs the pot to say the least.

But if we’re speaking the truth…

Done With Quartzsite For Now

With this in mind I was about done with Quartzsite Arizona anyway.

YouTube

Certainly I had just finished a YouTube video about how we can’t predict the future.

Changes In Mecca

And in that video I talked a little about how the experience in the so called nomad Mecca has changed over the past few years.

New Adventure

Therefore I have been looking for a new adventure.

Rather than just sit there and be unhappy I took the opportunity to do something new.

As much as I love my friends in Quartzsite during the winter months.

Bloom Is Off The Rose

While this may be true the bloom is off the rose.

Heading North To Las Vegas

Even though goodbyes are difficult it was great to get back on 95 and head up to Havasu City, Searchlight Nevada and ultimately Las Vegas.

Afterward while I am not a gambler and have not been a fan of Las Vegas lately…

Surprisingly Easy

Navigating to Town Square Mall and the Apple Store was surprisingly easy.

New Mac

Straightaway I was negotiating for new Mac Pro.

All in all this is an opportunity to finally have the IT juice to do some video editing as well as improved quality for the podcast.

Learning Curve

However there will be a bit of a learning curve since I can’t access all the data on the old Mac Pro currently.

And you have to learn all new ins and outs of updated software, so no music in this podcast.

Solving Problems

At any rate the thing about problems is you get to solve them.

Searchlight To I-40

Lastly coming back the way I came through Searchlight I happened upon on of my reference points in my travels.

Truck Stop Time

In other words a cluster of truck stops at I-40 and 95.

Coupled with a new digital lease on life I had a chance to chill out to the sound of semis and reset my plans.

In conclusion some of these plans are discussed in this podcast.

More About This Next Podcast

But I’ll talk more about the journey in my next podcast to celebrate four years as a nomad full time and start out the fifth year of travel.

Not-About-Quartzsite-Arizona-Bob Davis Podcast 1123

Not-About-Quartzsite-Arizona-Bob Davis Podcast 1123

 Not About Quartzsite Arizona

Above all this is not a podcast about Quartzsite, Arizona. Certainly I am podcasting from this dusty truck stop town but there’s a lot more to talk about than what’s going on here. Details in Not-About-Quartzsite-Arizona-Bob Davis Podcast 1123.

Restless

Firstly I am getting restless.

Wanderlust

That is to say the old Wanderlust is back.

Talk About It

Furthermore since I’ll be stopped down out  here in the desert for awhile let’s talk about restlessness.

Undoubtedly all nomads and travelers feel this restlessness or wanderlust every now and then.

High Vibe

To begin with when I am on the road I feel the highest vibe.

Then when I come ‘home’ to a campground with other nomads I will spend a few weeks stationary.

Or when I return to the Midwest in the summer I am not moving.

Restlessness Returns

Then eventually the restlessness returns.

We All Feel It

I general I think anyone who travels feels this every now and then.

Wanderlust Is A Thing

In fact an experienced traveler or digital nomad might say wanderlust is a thing.

Lots Of Nomads And RV People

As far as Quartzsite Arizona is concerned there are a lot of nomads and RV folks here right now.

YouTube

In this case everyone seems to have a YouTube channel.

Therefore a lot of content about this place and the goings on.

Like High School

Another key point as far as this podcast is concerned is the fact that this miniature media ecosystem can be a lot like high school.

Driven Deeper

Because of this I am driven to go deeper.

No Small Talk

Firstly I don’t do small talk…

No Copying

And I don’t care about what others are doing.

Even more I take a dim view of copying others.

Real Talk

So it is time to talk about something real.

Desire

With this in mind where does the desire for new travel experiences come from?

Time

In effect I think it has something to do with the fact that we are all traveling through time.

Life Is Short

Maybe wanderlust springs from a hidden desire to compensate for the undeniable fact that life is short.

Although this may be true many people compensate by building businesses, families and communities back home.

And I celebrate that.

Different Animals

But a traveler is a different animal.

In sum we seek something new and different.

Or we seek to learn.

We’ll talk about it.
