Thinking About Moving...Again

The Beach In Crescent City, CA

The older I get, the more I feel like I am not meant to be in one place, at least not for very long. I have this urning deep inside me to change my surroundings and see something new. Maybe it is a genetic leftover from when my ancestors were nomads. Whatever it is, I've got that itch again. 

This time I think I am going to move to California. Not the California that probably pops into your head when anyone says the name. I don't want the palm trees and glitz and glam of some so-cal big city. I have been thinking I want to move to Crescent City in Northern California. You get the beach, but you also get the Redwoods, the beautiful scenic highway and a nice small town America kind of feel. 

Right now my plans are to buy an RV, then buy a small lot of land to put it on until I have enough money to build something more permanent. I think that is where I want to settle down. Who knows though, I said that about Kodak, Knoxville, Spokane, Seattle. I say that every time I move, but I at least like to imagine that this will be different. 

We are going to be taking a little visit there later on this month. If you would like to see whatever video I put together you'll be able to see it on the Two Weirdos In A Van channel on YouTube.

Somewhere In The Sky I'm Flying

Near Denver, from my instagram account nottibynature88

Sometimes when I am up in the air I like to pretend I am flying into outer space and when I land it will be a different planet. When there aren't clouds I look out the window. Then I pretend to try and figure out if the planet below is able to support human life. Survey the land for a good place to land and try to find a place for a base camp.

I just happened to be doing that when we were flying over the Colorado Rockies on our most recent trip out of state. The lake at the top of the mountains was totally frozen over. If in fact this were another planet this would not be the place to land. It was however my favorite picture of our whole trip to Montana. 

I am one person who doesn't mind multiple stops between destinations and lay overs. If it wasn't for those I wouldn't have been in a holding pattern around the Rockies. Everyone else was annoyed that we were delayed, but I was very happy to be circling around and around Mountains for nearly half an hour. If you are on vacation you have to pay a lot of money for that, but we did it for free because of a thunder storm. 

Becoming A "Grownup"

So, Molly and I were planing on going hitch hiking cross country this summer. Then hiking in Alaska. The overwhelming urge for stability caught us by the loins and wont free up its grasp. We are buying a house, very likely the house pictured above. Or something similar.
We do however plan on having a room mate, so that when we get together some money we can go on some grand adventure to Alaska. Until then we are settling with a trip to Washington state, Idaho and Montana. We are going to spend the majority of our trip in Montana.
