The "commercial" outfits need to exercise a lil' more effort to make their setups "attractive". We talked just last night about how the Forest Svc. and Park Svc. Concessionaires charge nearly the same as an outfit like KOA for dry camping... but don't provide anything close in the way of facilities... Just makes boondockers out of more and more of us. Ah well... their choice! ;)<br /><br />Bruce; Point taken! and is why I also said/say; always get out and make your final check with your eyes and your own Brain! Things change and Technology will let you down if you give it too much power. strange how google updates some areas all the time... and others not for a long time. Bottom line is you have to employ common sense! ;)<br /><br />Bill; Yes Sir! It don't take a fat wallet to LIVE and have plenty of stories to tell!Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-33342435764041773442012-05-03T07:56:32.390-06:002012-05-03T07:56:32.390-06:00"The point is... just 'cause you ain'..."The point is... just 'cause you ain't got a lot of money is NO EXCUSE. The thing that can keep you from living how you want... The ONLY thing... whether it's the way I'm goin' down the road or just about any other, is You."<br /><br />I live Fulltime on the road with an annual income of just under $20,000. If I did NOT live as a Fulltimer it would not increase that income so why not live like I want.<br /><br />When the question of how much does it take to live Fulltime on the road is asked I usually say "How much do you have?". Generally we spend however much we have, it does not matter where we happen to live.Edhttp://edwardfrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-63570038860908461202012-05-03T07:43:59.037-06:002012-05-03T07:43:59.037-06:00Nice to you see your feet up!!

I got cold beer and cookies here in the Box Canyon. We can sit out on my newly poured patio and watch the grass grow.<br />markBox Canyon Bloggerhttp://www.boxcanyonblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-36675171996496224762012-05-02T18:29:00.277-06:002012-05-02T18:29:00.277-06:00Brian, love reading your stuff...hope to follow in...Brian, love reading your stuff...hope to follow in your bootprints in a couple of years. <br /><br />"The Google Satellite views are only months old, so a much more up to date check on the roads that are or aren't there." Well, maybe sometimes. Just for fun, do a Google satellite view search for "Fort Walton Beach High School, FL". You'll see a running track just south of the school building, under construction....waiting for asphalt. The track was paved, then I painted the competition lines on the surface, that job was billed out in April 2007. Hmmmm. Some of the satelite images are really old. <br /><br />I only mention this so that you don't assume that all the images are fairly recent. FWB is not Metropolis, but neither is it the sticks. <br /><br />Carry on the fine work good sir!Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663918210190231798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-77209796803739062152012-05-02T17:22:51.463-06:002012-05-02T17:22:51.463-06:00You left Mesa Verde just in time.

Aramark was upset about the free camping, but the National Park told Aramark they had to have a way to collect money - that the Natl Pk would not do it for them. The campground officially opens on May 10th this year.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205527982714514361.post-2232394124732333822012-05-02T10:58:45.493-06:002012-05-02T10:58:45.493-06:00The potholes don't seem to stop... so you have...The potholes don't seem to stop... so you have to keep a shovel handy ... and a pair of gloves so the Devils tail don't burn your fingers! :) <br /><br />Saw your other comment too... and the only American made boots I've found far exceed my ability to pay! :) <br /><br />I keep up on your travels...

Yeah, you gotta grab that devil tail, no doubt. Love your pictures, Brian.<br /> Hit another couple of potholes in the last week. Funny you should mention the Army and the broken spine...my first spine (and grey matter) troubles came from shrapnel in the 'Nam...my second spine troubles came from an oil field accident, which, being young and kinda dumb, I let 'em get away with a token payment to me because they said "I would always have a job." What a crock that was. At that time I had no experience with the corporate vampires...anyway, still following you Brian, and I like the cowboy way...the_Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541607489106807472noreply@blogger.com
