Why Did You Go Where You Went And When
Appreciate some patience and understanding here if you will but as best we can describe it .............
Picture this: Just retired, have familiar RV, been RVing for many years but now totally "Free To Roam" with zero commitments to be anywhere at any specific time. YEAH!
With so very many places and regions/areas that you want to see (on your bucket list), assuming weather aside, what made you turn left or right when you left your driveway for the very last time?
Restricted on our time allowed in the USA to under 6 months, naturally we would be snowbirds for the most part, but why would we target say Arizona over the RGV or California or Louisiana, or even Florida (there's something that appeals to us about ALL these areas and more)?
I guess what we are trying to establish is what makes non-working, uncommitted to any area FTers go where they go, why, and when they decide to? Obvious on North in the summer and south in the winter, we get that for weather comfort typically but with so many choices what makes you chose where you go, why and when you do? Sometimes we just feel overwhelmed with choices, and where to take the first bite of the elephant on the outset. For example, why would you chose to say do the California Coast over Utah State Parks over Alaska this summer versus another if all appeal equally to you on wanting to visit?
Commonsense tells us from a financial viewpoint of stretching our budget to try to pick a region and cover that as much as possible rather than zig zagging, but which region first and why?
Purely curious, but do so many folks spend the majority of the winters boon docking at Imperial Dam/Quartzite BLM etc purely from a financial aspect or is there genuinely other reasons and if so what are they? For sure we can appreciate the opportunity for geocaching, ATVing, Hiking etc, but to stay in one location doing that day in day out for maybe a couple months or more is it for the joy of or as suggested budgeting purposes primarily?
Thanks for sharing where, how and why you travel the way you do? It's so appreciated to gain a true understanding and settle yet more nerves that seem to crop up the closer and closer we get to the off.
