Signing Off- Heading Out
Will be shutting down my internet today- Taking my fancy box thing back to Comcast.
Headed out in a couple of days to Florida fishing, then East Tennessee hog hunting and trout fishing, then West Tennessee Rabbit and Quail hunting and sauger fishing, then on to points west and north west. Camping on BLM land (when out west) mostly.
Plan on arriving in Alaska approximately 1 June 2009, if I can afford the gas.
Ya'll take care now.

Hey Alan
Drive safe.
Happy Hunting.
And, if you get a chance, stop by a library once in awhile and post updates on your adventures.

How great it mst be to get out and go. I've got a 6 year old camper bought new (used 2 nights), as well as, 2 newer Harleys and a 3 year old truck that usually sit until the batteries go dead; for me an 8 mile trip to the feed store is a real outing.
Be careful out there.

Trip has been interrupted by some subpoena's I have to answer. Have to testify in three different courts (one Federal) in two states. So I will be diverted for a couple of weeks.
Has been going well. Eating fresh caught fish every day. Only problem has been a BIG storm that ripped a seam in my tent and soaked everything I had.
Life goes on.

New tent. Supplies restocked. .22 Rifle and 3000 rounds of ammo, Pellet gun and 5000 rounds of ammo. Winter clothes. Beaucoup survival "things", snare wire, fire starting stuff, etc.
Decided to skip the hog hunt.
Headed for New Mexico and points west tomorrow AM.
Don't expect to return 'til Late Spring next year, if then.
Sick and tired of all this mess we call civilization, society, whatever.
Ya'll take care.

............Good luck on your travels Alan . I've considered selling my heavy 5th. wheel and investing in a truck camper and a 16 foot enclosed trailer . Several truck camper comp's have gone out of business just this year . It's truly amazing how comfortable we can become the more we simplify our lives . Getting rid of our vast quantities of "Stuff" is more than some folks can deal with but we have become slaves too our materialstic life style . We're Americans , we can Afford it ! , fordy

Looks like this just wasn't meant to be. "Light" heart attack in New Mexico. Used up a lot of the $ I had saved for the trip. Ordered to stay below 5000 foot elevation. So my "cabin in the mountains" is out of the question.
Headed to the Pacific Coast, who knows where from there.
Ya'll take care.

Very sorry to hear that. Both the heart attack and your interrupted trip.
Nothing's any good without your health. Take care of yourself.

Hang in there Galump. Take care of yourself, there is plenty of living to do below 5000 ft. Me and everyone else who dreams of hitting the road and living our dream are still with you in spirit. You are in my prayers.

.............Maybe you over exerted yourself before your body was able to raise your red blood cell count to acclaimilate(sp) your body for activity at higher altitudes . Take it easy and you will adjust with no problems , over time . Good luck and good health . , fordy
