Tent Cities

Secondly the best thing about Quartzsite’s peak period are the tent cities.

Everything Under The Sun

Above all there isn’t much you can’t get for your rig under these tents.

Supplies

Certainly there are the usual hook ups, hoses, mats, plumbing, lights and other RV supplies.

Other Goodies

But there are also a host of other goodies like Buffalo and Cow Hides, army surplus stuff and a lot more.

Amazing RV’s

More importantly there are a lot of amazing new RV’s worth millions of dollars.

Real RV Show

However the real RV show is at the campgrounds and along the Quartzsite streets in mid January every year.

That’s when you see the school buses, restored mid century GMC buses, Over Landers and more.

Just Plain Fun

Even more the weird and creative concoctions people come up with are just plain fun.

These are not in the show, and should be.

Crazy Rallies Too

In the same vein there are plenty of rallies at the various free campgrounds around here. From Air Streams to School Buses and vintage trailers, it’s all here.

Eye Popping Price Tags

But finally it’s the eye popping price tags that most of us nomads simply cannot afford.

Not Just The Big Coaches

Moreover it’s not just the big coaches.

Smaller RV’s Too

To sum up the Sprinters Class C and B prices are headed through the roof as well with no end in sight.

Cheaper Prices Ahead?

Meanwhile one wonders whether there will be a lot of these awesome rigs for sale someday at considerably cheaper prices.

Nomad Boom

Likewise even the experts struggle to understand the scale of the ‘chuck it all’ nomad boom sweeping the country right now.

Hidden Costs

In addition the high prices and opulent interiors hide the very real maintenance costs.

How Many Bathrooms?

And managing the many systems such as double door fridges, TV’s and more than one bathroom in most of the big coaches.

Grateful

In short I found myself grateful for my dusty old Mobile Podcast Command Ambulance.

Simplicity

It’s simplicity, dependability and ability to get in and out of tight places makes me feel pretty good.

And it’s paid for.

American-Dream-To-Nightmare-Bob Davis Podcast 1031

American Dream To Nightmare

Above all it seems like we have brought the American Dream To Nightmare and you can learn more in American-Dream-To-Nightmare-Bob Davis Podcast 1031

Not A Rant

Firstly this is not a rant about how bad things are.

Nomads Are Not Anxious or Exhausted

Secondly this is about how anxiety back in the world doesn’t seem to effect nomads.

New Research About American Life Is Not Good

Most importantly research shows people are waking up in the middle of the night and end up tired all day.

Boundaries Gone

In addition all boundaries seem to have evaporated. It’s all in American-Dream-To-Nightmare-Bob Davis Podcast 1031.

Bad Food

Finally our eating habits are worse then ever.

Sugar Highs Drinking And Drugging

Even more drinking and drugging seems to be the order of the day.

Gone Nuts

Seems like the whole world has gone nuts.

Back In The World

On the other hand I don’t feel it as much as my friends back in the world.

Wonder Years To X-Files

Moreover the much vaunted American Dream’s Wonder Years seem have been replaced with the X-Files.

Desert Life Means No Anxiety

Meanwhile out here in the desert the anxiety doesn’t seem to reach us.

Choosing The Nomad Life

In the same vein my peace is due to choosing the nomad life.

High Vibration

And the nomad life is a very high vibration.

So it works for me.

Consequently don’t let the title of this podcast scare you.

New American Dream

For example there’s no reason a New American Dream can’t take hold and flourish.

Freedom To Choose

That is to say a dream where we we have the freedom to choose the life we define.

Take This Job and Shove It

Maybe this is why so many people are singing ‘Take This Job and Shove it’.

Hit The Road

For example I threw the baby out with the bath water.

Hitting the road permanently.

You Might Not Need The Extreme Approach

On the other hand someone else’s dream might not require such an extreme approach.

Better Nutrition

Finally it’s about proper nutrition and living better.

Choices We Can Make

Most importantly these are choices we can make.

Taking Back Control Of Our Life

To sum up creating The New American Dream may have something to do with seizing control.

Brink Of Madness

In short it’s time to take our lives back from the brink of madness.

And if it means making an offer on your old man’s 1996 RV…

Then I’ll save a spot for you in Quartzsite!

Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026

Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026

Wearing Out Arizona

Firstly I am wearing Arizona out right now. High fuel prices means spending more time in individual states. Learn more in Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026.

Got A Thing

Secondly I have had a thing for Arizona for a long time.

Search For The Old West

Above all I continue the search for the Old West.

All Desert

Even more now that the colder weather is filtering down from the Canyon to the Mountains it’s all desert for me.

Love It!

And I couldn’t be happier.

More Time In Arizona

As the result of higher fuel prices I am adjusting my travel plans so that I can spend more time in certain places.

Nomads In A Good Position

Certainly I’ve made the case that nomads are better positioned to reduce their exposure to inflation. Click here for that podcast.

Free Camping

Even more since orienting to this new plan I have become very focused on dispersed camping, free camping and even hanging out at Truck Stops when I am in transit. I share some of those tips in Wearing-Arizona-Out-Bob Davis Podcast 1026.

Something About Arizona

But overall there is something about Arizona.

Maybe it’s the sunsets.

Juniper

In addition I can never get enough of the scent of juniper on the fire.

Pines And Mountains

Or the pines and the mountain woods.

Highways

Finally we have all seen the Arizona Highways pictures.

On the other hand there are some amazing highways and views in this state. In the past few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to experience many of them.

Plan

To sum up we nomads are lucky. If we plan it right we can avoid spending too much money.

Low Profile

And I am still learning how to achieve as low a profile as possible so I am not exposed to the higher and higher prices.

As a result I get to see some really cool places that most wouldn’t bother.

Whether it’s Gila Bend in the south or the Navajo Nation to the north.

Off The Beaten Path

In the same vein if you can get off the beaten paths anywhere you get to see different parts of the US and these are some of the best places, in my opinion.
