I’m a geologist and love the outdoors. I enjoy exploring, backpacking, camping, hunting and fishing. I view my RV as my base camp and roam far and wide in a Dodge Caravan exploration vehicle. To further my explorations off-road and for my enjoyment I carry a Kawasaki KLR250 dual sport motorcycle. For fishing, this past year I’ve purchased a 12’ Porta-bote (boat) that I can carry strapped to the side of my RV; it’s powered by a small outboard. My RV base camp has stainless steel cutlery, real glasses, ceramic coffee mugs, Corelle dishes, All-Clad cookware and it has a spacious food prep/cooking area. I have a small recliner so that I can relax and read in comfort and I’ve equipped my rig with a small office where I do my part-time research/writing work. I have a TV but it’s not hooked up, I feel that the current TV programming burdened with commercials taking up 50% of my viewing time is excessive and I refuse to support it. The TV is nice for watching movies that I've check out from the local library. Overall I'm very comfortable with my life.
Do you collect rocks and store them in the trailer like Lucy did in the movie the Long Long Trailer? :)
Sounds great. I wish I knew more about geology. I often look at the rock formations around me and wonder about their origination. I tried to get a good geology textbook from the library but none of them really were what I wanted.
Do you have any recommendations of a good reference guide to geology kind of like the National Geographic or Sibley guides for birds?
