In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

Greater World Earthship Community in Taos, New Mexico (click here for more info)
This is the world’s largest self-sufficient residential development. All the houses are built with recycled materials: bottles, cans, tires, and dirt. Each house is fully self-sufficient, generating power from wind and solar, and getting water from rain collection. There are no water, power, or sewer lines anywhere on the premises.
