Channel and Travel Plans Quartzsite Cooked

Firstly I have some pre announcement announcements about changes to my podcasts and plans for travel. Secondly it’s time for some real talk about Quartzsite being cooked. Details in Channel-Travel-Plans-Quartzsite-Cooked-Bob Davis Podcast 1164.

Thank You Contributors

Certainly I’ve been honored to receive contributions from many listeners and subscribers to these podcasts.

Future Donations

And I want to do something so that future donations can be at least somewhat rewarding to contributors.

Financial Changes

Therefore I am working on some financial changes this summer.

New Rig

In addition I’ve traveled the USA in the same rig for ten years now.

As a matter of fact Mobile Podcast Command as originally used aa an audio truck back when I needed mixers and studio microphones to do a podcast.

And I travelled quite a bit on those days across the country.

Subsequently I decided to hit the road permanently with the advent of the pandemic in late 2020.

The idea I was going to hit the road in a luxurious RV is equally important.

All things considered I ended up in Mobile Podcast Command.

As a result I have been sleeping on the floor of this 25 year old Ambulance for the past ten years.

Therefore I am looking for a new rig.

Rural America Wisconsin Small Towns

In addition I devote a fair amount of time in this podcast to rural America and Wisconsin small towns.

Best Summer Stories

Furthermore there are plenty of stories about how much I am enjoying one of the best summers in a long time up at the lake.

Content Evolution

To emphasize how my approach to these podcasts has evolved over the years I talk about how I develop content.

Quartzsite Questions and Real Talk

Finally I get a lot of questions these days about Quartzsite which I answer with some real talk.

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.

Montana-Yellowstone-Idaho-Bob Davis Podcast 1145

Montana Yellowstone Idaho

Firstly I’m on another big trip from Wisconsin through to Montana, Yellowstone and Idaho. Ultimately I’ll be pulling into Quartzsite, Arizona earlier than planned. But this is a great route south. Details in Montana-Yellowstone-Idaho-Bob Davis Podcast 1145.

Custer National Battlefield Monument

Secondly my Montana visit was punctuated with a visit to the Custer National Battlefield Monument. For details on that experience check out my YouTube channel here.

Soul Happy

Above all when I am traveling my soul is happy.

Juices Flowing

That is to say when the wheels are turning the creative juices are flowing.

Much To See

Also there are always amazing things to see.

Observations

Another key point is my observations on what I have experienced on the trip so far.

Old Story From Yellowstone

Certainly a ‘pass-through’ this year was a lot different from a old story about pushing a VW Bug through the park in the middle of the night.

This experience differed markedly from the VW experience so many years go.

What’s With The Bison?

For one thing people these days seem to be mad to get through the park so they can get pictures of Bison.

I’ve witnessed behavior in the same fashion at the Grand Canyon.

Jewels

As much as it is important to celebrate the fact that we Americans have these wilderness jewels to marvel over…

On the negative side I’m not sure people are actually experiencing these parks.

Selfies

They are too busy taking selfies.

Camping Booked

On the other hand I am glad the park was too busy for camping.

Pass Through

Because a pass through was just what the doctor ordered at this point in the trip.

Land Of Sky Blue Waters

Because I camped all summer as I like to say on the shores of a lake in the ‘Land of Sky Blue Waters’…

After that I am not so keen to camp.

Truck Stops

All in all truck stops are my go to these days.

Recording In Flying J’s Lot

Basically it’s pretty hard to miss in this podcast since I recorded in a Flying J Parking Lot.

Oil Cheaper

Overall oil is getting cheaper…

Winter Travel

Therefore the winter looks promising for more travel and adventure.

By all means getting down to Quartzite is my priority…

115 Degrees

But when I last checked the weather it was 115 degrees in the desert out there.

By all means the subject for my next podcast.
