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.

Summer-Sounds-2022-Bob Davis Podcast 1045

Summer Sounds 2022 Immersion Therapy

Firstly I think we all need a break from the craziness right now. I’ll give you that in Summer-Sounds-2022-Bob Davis Podcast 1045.

Headphones

Secondly put your headphones on to listen.

Spring Is Here

Certainly spring is here.

Not In The North

But in much of the northern tier winter can still come back with a vengeance.

Real Summer Experience

And the real summer experience is a few months away for most northerners.

Sounds You Might Be Missing

Even more if you live in the desert but were raised up north there’s a lot of sound in Summer-Sounds-2022-Bob Davis Podcast 1045 you might be missing.

Yearly Project

In addition this is a yearly project for me.

Therefore here’s a link to some of the other summer sounds podcasts I’ve done.

Usually I produce Summer Sounds podcasts in mid winter.

However I was a little delayed this year.

Mountains to Plains

For example unlike other years I’ve traveled all over the US this year collecting sounds from the mountains to the plains and back again.

Lakes

For example a drum circle in Arizona and fireworks on a Wisconsin lake.

Mountains

Or the wind more than a mile high in Colorado.

Campfires

And campfires from Montana to New Mexico.

Summer

Summer in all its glory.

No Talk

Finally I don’t talk much in Summer-Sounds-2022-Bob Davis Podcast 1045.

In short I talk at the beginning and briefly at the end.

So you won’t be jolted from your summer experience.

Constant Barrage Ends Here

And these days I think most of need to talk less!

That is to say we’re under constant barrage from media.

Telling us what happened and what’s gonna happen.

Stress Cure

Therefore our stress levels are through the roof.

Playing With Sound

To sum up I felt better just producing this podcast. Playing with sound. Discovering sounds I didn’t even know I recorded during travel this year.

Power Of Sound

In conclusion sound is powerful. It can take us down.

Or lift us up.

Further we all need a good lift right about now.

Summer Is Coming

Of course the good news is we won’t have to wait long for the real summer to come.

A Wish For Peace

Above all here’s wishing your summer to be peaceful.

Where ever you are.

Mount-Rainier-Sioux-Falls-4Days-Bob Davis Podcast 1002

Mount Rainier to Sioux Falls in 4 Days

Firstly I don’t like to travel this fast but I just rolled from Mount Rainier to Sioux Falls in 4days. Learn more in Mount-Rainier-Sioux-Falls-4Days-Bob Davis Podcast 1002.

Amazing

Secondly it was an amazing trip.

Game Changer In Sioux Falls

Most importantly I had a game changing business meeting in South Dakota that solved my connectivity problems in one fell swoop. In addition I’ll be telling you more about this fix in future podcasts.

Oregon Coast To Washington State

But it was a great trip up the Oregon Coast, to Washington’s Mount Rainier then across the Yakima Valley.

Idaho to Montana

Even more Idaho and Montana take the cake.

Grasslands

And the grasslands of North Dakota!

South Dakota In 100 Degree Heat

Finally the trip across South Dakota in one hundred degree heat was one for the books.

One Day to Minnesota and Wisconsin

Further still a quick one day trip across Minnesota to Wisconsin for Father’s Day 2021.

Fading Restrictions and Burgeoning Optimism Across America

Above all a trip across the northern tier of the United States at a time when Covid restrictions are beginning to face for the time being, and people seem more optimistic.

Record Visitors At The Parks

Certainly the national parks have record visitors and are packed while the National Forests and Bureau of Land Management campgrounds are deserted.

Lassen Mount Shasta and More

Moreover I was able to enjoy Lassen National Park and Mount Shasta before quite an adventure in the Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest in Oregon.

Logging roads, coast line, rain forests, arid valleys and more.

Back Roads Forever

To clarify I am struck by how much running across the country this way on back roads is similar to binge watching a series on HBO or Netflix at the height of the pandemic last year.

Travel Velocity

Certainly I wonder if I am one of the few nomads moving across the country at various levels of travel velocity, covering so much ground all on the back roads.

How Far and How Fast

To sum up I wonder how the rest of the my nomad friends listening and reading this blog travel. How far and how fast.

Running Fast Can Be Fun

In short I’ll say it again. I don’t like to travel this fast. It’s exhausting. But it can be fun as well.

In the same vein I hope listeners and subscribers enjoy some of the stories and experiences from this mega trip.

Plans Change

In addition I’ve changed my plans a bit, I think, for the rest of the summer.
