The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Yes, Another Go Nowhere Adventure!

Yes, it's amazing. Time flies whether you're having fun or not. This adventure started early 2011 and was short-lived. This video will sort of set the stage, if you will, for my brief adventure with my Casita travel trailer. I drove to Texas and picked-up the trailer from the manufacturer.

Unforgettably, my timing was poor. The first night I spent in the trailer (first time in any trailer) it was well below 20 degrees. And, then the ice storm hit. And, my 28 day adventure began.
                                                              

If you're interested, I have 28 videos about my trip.

Here's a link to the Casita factory. They make really cool trailers. Though this is obviously a small trailer, there is an amazing amount of storage. There are more than a few people who are living in these trailers full-time. And, some with a dog or two. They are light weight, tow easily, and the exterior is basically maintenance free. I would have liked to have had an enclosed shower stall; however, I lived on a boat for about four years with a similar shower arrangement.  There was surely plenty of room for my needs. With two people, you'd better like each other...a lot! Or, bring a bunch of booze along.

If you're interested in more information, give Harald Clemens a call at 1-800-442-9986. He is a delightful and honest gentleman and will not try and sell you stuff you don't need.

  1. So, rainy day here in Michigan, watch several of the trailer videos. How long did you keep this? Do any other trips?
