Welcome and you’re not alone. I’m near the Canadian border also but in WA. Got a good feeling about this year and meeting more people later in the season. See you around. Can you semi retire and go try out van-life. I’d recommend jumping in with both feet to see what works for you. I did it for two years then two years deciding how I’d do it this time. Unless you’re one of those planners who knows what they want already.

no, i wish i could semi-retire right now  i get almost 5 weeks of vacation each year so
we get out occasionally. family (and pet) commitments keep us from travelling the whole
5 weeks, so we will just have to wait. meanwhile, i am focused on saving up enough funds
to actually make it happen. thanks for the warm welcome!
