Nomad-Eclipse-Rest-Refit-Bob Davis Podcast 1095

Nomad Eclipse Rest Refit

Firstly it’s Nomad Eclipse Rest and Refit season in Western Wisconsin. Details in Nomad-Eclipse-Rest-Refit-Bob Davis Podcast 1095.

Saving A Buck

Secondly nomads never miss a chance to save a buck and take a break from the road.

Therefore that is what I am doing.

August Timeline

At least until mid August 2023.

Peeling An Onion

Above nomad travel is like peeling an onion.

Slower Travel

For example when I first started traveling I did not understand the practice of some nomads to get off the road in the spring for a while.

Then high fuel prices forced me to change my travel plans.

That is to say longer stays and shorter travel bursts.

New People and Community

The result was meeting new people and experiencing community.

Arizona To Wisconsin

Finally I drove north to Western Wisconsin from Arizona pretty quickly because of a death in the family. That is to say I left the desert sooner than I intended or expected.

Winter To Spring

However we nomads roll with the punches. Subsequently I am experiencing the winter to spring change again!

Eclipse

In addition it’s eclipse season.

Intense Feels

Which means some unusual celestial events and associated intense feels. If you’re looking for the link explaining this April’s Hybrid Eclipse, here it is.

Vintage Cabin

And I am staying at a vintage cabin soon to be moving to a lake front and back to my nightly fire.

Comforts

In conclusion it’s weird to feel weird about being comfortable!

Cool Greens

But looking forward to the cool greens and hot sun of the Midwestern Summer.

Mechanical Work

Also getting some needed work on Mobile Podcast Command. Some body work. Minor engine work. And a few other items that need to be taken care of..

Sometimes getting this kind of work done on the road can be a challenge, if not more expensive.

Campfire!

See you at the campfire!

Goodbye-2022-Hello-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1083

Goodbye-2022-Hello-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1083

Goodbye 2022 Hello 2023

Firstly Goodbye 2022 Hello 2023. Cue the fireworks for Goodbye-2022-Hello-2023-Bob Davis Podcast 1083.

Many Thanks

Secondly many people to thank for contributing and sponsoring.

Supporters and Mentors

In addition every year on New Year’s Eve I do a podcast and thank everyone who lent their support to help mentor me way back in 2009 when I started this podcast.

It’s Been A Year

Certainly this has been a year.

That is to say it was difficult.

Maybe It’s Been 2 Years

And it has been difficult going back to 2020!

Major Transition

Above all while I think we’re going through a major transition on many levels New Year’s Eve isn’t the best time to chronicle all that.

New Year’s Eve Is For Thank You’s

In fact New Year’s Eve is great for sending thank you’s.

Look Ahead

And a look ahead for 2023 travel and challenges.

Tough Times

To clarify the elephant in the room has been inflation.

For Nomads Too

Furthermore I’ve done more than a few podcasts about inflation and what it means for the nomad.

Economic Issues

Most importantly economic issues have made 2022 difficult.

Optimistic For 2023

I prefer to remain optimistic for 2023.

Challenges

In the same vein though I think there are economic challenges ahead that can be good and bad for different people around the world and the country

On the other hand this podcast will not be going into economic stuff too deeply.

Parties!

Because we have parties to get ready for!

Artistic Business Challenges

In short there are people to thank.

As well as some talk about running an artistic business.

Change Is An Ongoing Theme

To sum up 2022 has been tough. I’ve had to change how I travel.

Barnstorming

Certainly that means less barnstorming around the country.

Enriched

However my life has been enriched by relationships with other nomads formed because I was forced to stay in one place more than I would have liked.

Grateful

Finally there are things to be grateful for.

Maybe more so because of the kind of year we all had.

In conclusion change seems to have been a theme this year and is certainly on the horizon next year.

Happy New Year

Therefore Happy New Year.

OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067

OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067

OffGrid Freedom Utah

Firstly OffGrid Freedom Utah isn’t about solar powered homes. OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067 is about having no cell coverage and the actual freedom that results from being ‘OffGrid’.

Garbage Minds

Secondly the amount of garbage that our minds are filled with from these phones is epic.

Heavy Users

Above all I know because I am a heavy user of my device.

Thinking

And due to the fact that when I experience outages I’ve noticed I can think!

Listening

Even more I can actually hear myself think!

Revelations

So look for some internal revelations as the result of spending a lot of time with a boat anchor known as the iphone.

At least when you’re OffGrid in Utah.

Review

Consequently I took the opportunity to review the last year or so of travel.

Life Decisions

In addition I was able to review some life decisions.

Mega Trips A Thing Of The Past?

For example last year at this time I was in the middle of a mega trip.

To clarify up the west coast. Out through the upper mountain west. Down through the Midwest. Across the Great Lakes to New England. Back through Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and so on.

Granular Travel

On the other hand this summer’s travel has focused on Northern Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

OffGrid

That is to say I am way out in the deserts and mountains.

Even more down dirt roads and in primitive campgrounds or no campground!

Out Of Area

No cell service.

Freedom!

Subsequently no distractions!

Stories and Realizations

In short it’s great to think again!

And I have some stories and realizations to share in OffGrid-Freedom-Utah-Bob Davis Podcast-1067.

Modern Communications

Firstly I don’t think anyone really thinks about how influential modern communications can be.

The Wanting

Secondly as a result it’s the wanting that makes us all feel like we have and are less.

Certainly we don’t call it ‘the wanting’.

Manifesting

These days it goes by the name ‘Manifesting’.

Goals

Most importantly what happens when you ‘manifest’ right past your original goal?

What Do You Need?

Finally sometimes what you have is enough to do what you need.
