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.

Embracing-Change-Wisconsin-Spring-Bob Davis Podcast 1162

Embracing Change Wisconsin Spring

Spring in Wisconsin is all about embracing change. The same is true in life. We’ll talk about it in Embracing-Change-Wisconsin-Spring-Bob Davis Podcast 1162.

Travel Is Constant Change

Above the thing about travel is the constant change.

Issues in Life

Therefore when I stop down for the summer in Wisconsin I am confronted with these same issues in life.

New Wrinkles

As a matter of fact as I work harder and harder on my videos for the YouTube Channel that in itself is a big personal change.

For the link to the video version of this podcast click here.

Equally important is the nature of the season of spring.

Travel In The Southwest

After all most of my travel this winter has been in the Southwestern US.

Documenting Travel

And I have produced several videos and podcasts about my travels.

High Points

For example the Pacific Coast Highway in California, Death Valley and finally heading east on America’s Loneliest Highway Route 50.

Grateful To Watch Full Seasonal Change

Given many thousands of miles of nomadic travel this season staying in one spot gives me an opportunity to watch a full seasonal change.

Spring eventually becomes summer.

Depths Of Winter

Firstly up here in Northwestern Wisconsin when one is existing in the depths of winter…

It’s undeniably true that it feels like summer will never come.

To Glorious Summer

But it does!

And it’s truly glorious.

Brown To Blue Skies

Because I was able to see the change from barren brown and grey to verdant green and blue skies…

Analogy To Change

I was able to draw the analogy to changes in life as a result,

Resist Change

‘Secondly it is also true that we resist change.

Running To Seasons Change

Yet we run to the change of seasons.

Spring To Summer

Especially winter to spring and then on to summer.

Why Don’t We Embrace Change

Given these points I wonder why we don’t embrace change in our lives in the same manner?

Grateful

Even if we’re moving from Fall to Winter we might be grateful the heat of summer has passed.

Contrast

In contrast when it comes to personal change we wonder what we did to ‘deserve’ a certain result.

Fight Change

Or we fight to prevent the change from happening.

An Era Of Chaotic Change

Finally we’re living through an era significant because of its complexity and chaotic change.

Good

On the one hand change is good,

Bad

On the other hand it isn’t always easy to handle.

Aging

Even more we all age.

Growing Up

In addition those around us grow up and grow old.

Growing Old

In spite of our efforts people pass away.

Afterward I’ve always thought it strange that they have moved on but all their stuff is still here.

Life Goes On

Meanwhile lie goes on and we must cope.

Difficult Life

Also from time to time we are confronted with difficult circumstances which have the same finality.

Not Easy

At this instant it isn’t easy.

But we have to go on.

Better To Embrace Change

These days I am thinking it is better to embrace change than to fight it.

Mega Road Trip California 2025

I am on a Mega Road Trip for 2025. Most importantly this podcast covers my trip from the desert, mountains and beaches. Details in Mega-Road-Trip-2025-Bob Davis Podcast 1159.

Take Your Your Time On A Roadtrip

In the first place I’ve learned doing Roadtrips with hell bent for leather travel isn’t so great.

Low and Slow

Most importantly if the traveler has the time low and slow is the way to go.

2 Months From California to Oregon

For example I plan on taking almost two months to get to the California-Oregon border.

Furthermore I plan on taking the same approach to Oregon and Washington if possible.

Desert Mountain Beaches

Generally this podcast covers my trip for the deserts in Eastern California, to the mountains about thirty miles from San Diego and ultimately to the beaches south of Los Angeles.

History

Certainly there is history involved.

Spanish California

That is to say that the purpose I’ve selected for this trip is to learn more about the Mission System in California dating back to the Spanish.

Jedediah Smith

Even more one of the historical figures I am interested in is Jedediah Smith.

By all means Smith blazed many trails in his life.

Southern Route

But perhaps the most important exploration he accomplished was to find the southern route to California.

With this purpose in mind Smith was both saved and incarcerated by the Spanish at the mission at San Gabriel and at the Presidio in San Diego.

In Mega-Road-Trip-2025-Bob Davis Podcast 1159 I tell that story.

But there’s more.

Mountain and Beach Campgrounds

All in all I got to spend some time at superb mountain campgrounds and on the Beach at Carlsbad, California.

Just The Beginning

Finally it’s amazing to me that I am only a short way into this Mega Roadtrip for 2025.

Follow My Progress

So follow my progress as I head north and eventually east to Wisconsin.
