In August we are going to pack up our RV (which we don’t own yet so if you find a good deal let us know) and head to Seattle for a roller derby bout, my last one with my current team. We will spend about two weeks in the Seattle area before going to southern Idaho for a farm stay which we found on HelpX. I will always be grateful for the lovely friend who recommended it to me. After that we go back to Fargo for just a quick stop then to Chicago and St. Louis, MO where I will be announcing the MRDA National tournament. Next stop London, Ontario to visit my cousin, Niagara Falls and then the East Coast. We need to be in Colorado at the latest by January 22nd for spring semester at the college. This would mean that I would drive by the campus in the RV and push Andrew’s dirty hippy butt out the door. We would obviously like to arrive before that.
I have been wanting to take a trip like this for a while. I actually would rather live in the RV but there is some give and take when someone agrees to go with you. After I started the group to stay in touch with everyone along our route one of my friends got really excited and lots of people said that they would like to do something like this one day. For the last ten years I have dealt with lots of other peoples “stuff”, their businesses, personal lives and dreams. Every time I think about my own I get side tracked.
My advice to everyone… Don’t Wait! Go now. Adventure now. Live now. Don’t get to ten years later and wish that you had done that one thing that you have always wanted to do. It may not work out or go the way you think but at least you will have tried it and had the experience. We all have to so things like work and maintenance but don’t wait on the things you love. Find a way to adventure.
This being said, between August and January we will be on the road. If it doesn’t go as planned you may be getting a call from me. If that happens please be kind and come to get me! In the mean time I will see you all on the road!
