It really helps to know that there is a community out there willing and able to help. At present I own a Jeep, and there is a willingness to stop and help among wheelers. Hopefully this Summer I can find a job as camp host somewhere nearby and get my feet wet. My wife and I traveled the world when we were young and went to many various countries. We love to travel, but this is an entire life change. We've adjusted to a sedimentary lifestyle and know being in our 60's, want to take off again. We're not wealthy, but see this as the only alternative. We love the outdoors and camping don't want to feel like the old barn horse anymore. Burning our bridges and off to a better way of life. Hopefully we can meet sometime while on the road. We're starting on the central coast of Calif.
