How about, you just are driving down the road one day and say - Self, I don't want to do this anymore! I've spent almost 7 years full time, winters in AZ or NV, traveling spring, summer and fall. Some times big trips, some times back to the E. Washington, Montana, Idaho areas for a few months.
For me, the cost of parks and fuel and just everyday stuff like eating has gone through the roof. I don't really think that's what tipped me over, but might have been part of it. Never minded, in fact was always glad to be heading North back to trees, clean water, ranches, miles of green grass....maybe it was that flat tire in Lakeview or the broken switch on the hitch in Pahrump. Could have been the foot of water in Burns...I don't know. But all that to say I've bought a lot in far NE Washington. In the process of getting ready for winter. I've lived up here before but in a great house with wood stoves so I know what the weather can be. Other folks here survive, so we'll see if I can
Any reason to change directions in your life is OK. Seems to be that happens and we aren't always ready but, here we go!
Toy hauler is in storage but I'll keep it just in case this doesn't work like it think it should. That's plan B. Still have Evie the cat, she's almost 6 years old and been to 11 states and 2 Provinces. Life is good.
