In August I turned south from Maine and made my back through New England. I visited New Hampshire, Vermont and New York again. Saw old friends and family. Made it to new heights. For the most part I'm staying close to my budget. I had some expected unexpected costs to fix the RV and updates but I see it as investing in my future. I'm still enjoying the travel and time off.

This blog is to document my "gap" year. Interest, ability and opportunity combined in a conspiracy to allow this journey to happen. The idea started on a trail run in a local park in Missouri. Running though the park was a good way to see the sights and get some exercise. So why not travel around the country in my RV and do the same thing? I'll be looking for places to pull off and go exploring with my Five Fingers shoes. It's not the reason for the journey but a direction.
SPOT GPS
Here is the link to my SPOT GPS shared page. It only shows information that I've sent in the last 7 days. So if it's empty it just means I haven't used it lately but I'm still OK.
