Northern-Lights-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1093

Northern Lights Again

Firstly I am back in Wisconsin to see the Northern Lights again. Listen for details in Northern-Lights-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1093.

Whirlwind Trip

Secondly a whirlwind 4 day trip from Quartzsite brought me here.

Nomads Called Away

Above all we nomads are often called away.

Cross Country

And we have to make a quick cross country trip.

7 States 4 Days

For example I covered 7 states in roughly 4 days to help with a family emergency.

Normal

That is to say this is part of the normal experience of committing to life on the road.

Grateful

Certainly I am grateful to be able to make the trip.

From Desert Heat To Snow Covered Fields

But I went from the desert heat to the still snow covered fields in rural Western Wisconsin.

Spring And Summer Travel

Therefore I am reformulating spring and summer travel plans.

Midsummer

Meanwhile I plan to be here in the Dairy State at least until midsummer.

And looking forward to it!

The Nature of Life

Likewise I am struck by the transitory nature of life in general.

Death and Life

Even more a death in the family brings these thoughts to the top of mind.

Loose Ends

Moreover it’s time to tie up some loose ends in Northern-Lights-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 1093.

Fuel Prices Getting Better

For example one of the reasons I was sitting so long in the desert had to do with the price of fuel and inflation.

Did at least two podcasts in a series discussing higher prices. A good example of this series is here.

Lower Prices Different Pace Of Travel

In addition as prices head lower it’s also time to re evaluate the pace of travel.

Deep Bonds

And likewise to discuss how quickly deep bonds are formed in our nomad community.

Missing The Campfire

I will certainly miss the campfires for the time being.

And sitting around poking fun at each other.

Great Winter In The Desert

Finally this was a great winter of camping in the desert.

New People

Especially meeting and getting to know new people.

Fun Summer Travel On Deck

On the other hand I look forward to some fun summer travel this year.

Coronavirus-Madness-Hack-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 911

Coronavirus Madness Hack With Travel

These days it’s getting to the point where all this talk about Coronavirus is wearing me out. I thought, what’s a hack for all this stress? A podcast about travel. Here it is in Coronavirus-Madness-Hack-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 911.

Too Much Social Media and News

Moreover whether it’s social media or TV News sometimes it can be just a little bit too much.

It’s Madness

Time for a Madness Hack. Talk about back roads travel across the United States. Above all there are some great places to visit and experience in the United States. Since I just got a new road atlas, time to talk.

Back Roads Routes For Bug Out

Since I only travel on back roads these days, some of the discussion of routes and places might come in handy. You never know when you might have to bug out.

Freedom

Especially relevant is the word Freedom. The wide open feeling you get on a back road.

All Fifty States

In Coronavirus-Madness-Hack-Travel-Bob Davis Podcast 911 I’ll go through all fifty of the states.

Alaska and New England

I’ve crisscrossed all these states many times. In contrast there are just a few states I’ve never been to. I’ll tell you about my plans for the New England coastal states, and Alaska.

RV Talk

Also we’ll talk a little but about RV’s. In contrast to Van Life people and some RV folks, I tend to cover a lot of ground. My RV needs might be a little more robust than hauling a trailer or driving a behemoth with three bedrooms. Even though are they are super cool.

Always More

Finally the more I talk about hitting the back roads the more places I remember I’ve been. I couldn’t possibly cover them all in one podcast. There’s always more when it comes to travel.

Travel Tips Too

From Alabama to Wyoming I’ve been there. I’ll share routes, locations and places to see. Plus some tips for making travel a little easier.

Take A Break From The Madness

Above all just doing this podcast made me feel a lot better. It’s double length just to make your break from the madness even more enjoyable.

(Editor’s Note: I absolutely forgot Hawaii. Can’t drive there. But, I really want to visit Hawaii too!)

Iowa BugOut Mega Road Trip

I told myself I would take a long road trip after Iowa Campaign Coverage. Certainly this is already a mega road trip. Learn why in Iowa-BugOut-Texas-Coast-Bliss-Bob Davis Podcast 904.

Objective Texas Gulf Coast

Moreover the target; The Texas Gulf Coast, sure looked like a hop skip and a jump from Iowa. On a map!

Oh yeah. Texas Is Really Big

Most noteworthy, the sheer size of Kansas, Oklahoma, and especially The Lone Star State.

Galveston! Oh Galveston!

First of all, Galveston Island. Especially the old sections of downtown Galveston you don’t usually hear about. Second, the famed ‘seawall’, bars and resorts and more.

Matagorda Beach Bliss

Above all I wanted warm humid weather. I wanted the beach. After two more days driving I found the Matagorda Peninsula. Why do I love Texas? For fifteen bucks you buy a permit, drive onto the beach, and start your fire.

Beach Town? We Have A Winner!

Even more, under a full moon, it was magical. Finally the other end of the Peninsula which I keep calling ‘North Padre Island’, includes the great beach town of Port Aransas and a state park near there where I chilled for a night.

A Road To Nowhere Was Best Of All

Above all South Padre Island. What I call the ‘north end’ of South Padre Island. A road that leads nowhere but between dunes and the shore. A full moon. Boondocking on the road. Alone. Another full moon. Bliss.

Finally, from South Padre Island onto Brownsville and the border. All to come.

Surf’s Up!

These days people who live in the cold northern reaches usually want to get on planes and head for the South Pacific or Virgin Islands. Hard to believe you can just drive to Texas, and right onto the beach.

If you’ve got a little time.
