Tough competition as far as luring RK to other locales. Too bad "No Crabs - No Grabs" burned down down here. I wonder at the "No Clap..." is there a sheet of saran wrap on the recipient to cover the claim?

I have no idea what situation Rk might be looking for to resettle, but maybe somewhere on the Wash. or Oregon coast would be to his liking since it would be somewhat to his Alaska environs.   :undecided:

Maybe less mosquitos? :boozing:

Sounds like he's just gonna be a bit footlose but the Pacific Northwest would fit the bill I should think.

While I'm not immediately ready for guests, I should be by the time the temps in Lost Wages begin to become tolerable. Keep it in mind...

I appreciate all of the good thoughts and offers.  I will no doubt be dropping in on some of you as I wander about.  I want to be useful if I do.  Don't worry, Wayne -- AZ has no appeal for me.

I'm trying to look at this as an opportunity, although so far it doesn't seem like one.  Every time I try to write about it, it seems even less so.  But the only thing scarier than leaving is staying.

RK,

You might compare notes with Crusty.  He has 'downsized' and wanders a lot as well.  Based in MA IIRC.

Our place is your place in Iowa for as long as you need. Stay, build a stake,  make the break you need. Been there survived that RK. Whether our politics align or not, ( I have no idea)  if I can help meet your needs, I will.
If you wish to know what a man is, place in him authority.
False accusations reflect more on the accuser than the accused.
They can take everything from you, including your life, except your honor and integrity.  That you must give away.
Do or don't do. There is no try.

A small suggestion.  keep a journal.  I have always regretted not keeping a journal on my adventures.  This has the makings of a book. Good luck to you on your travels! Do stop by if you wander through Sioux Falls.

I agree about the journal, especially since RK has a way with words.  Photos would be good too ;)

Well poop. At least you are still smart enough to avoid Arizona (truth be told there are parts that are quite nice, especially the eastern side above the Rim).

Ya, do a take on Danial K. and try some On the Road segments. Or cut to the chase and just be Charles Kuralt....

Good luck, sounds like you wouldn't turn it down. :^) If you get close I may be able to swing by for an intersect; I'm sure there is some Guzzi wisdom worth a burger or two for me.

I'm a bit partial to Missoula Montana myself, with some smaller towns also appealing. Safe travels.

...... and if you find yourself this side of the Ocean I'm sure my good lady could be persuaded to put a strange man with a 3 wheel Guzzi up for a couple of nights (psss if you like dogs you'll be fine)

Good luck though you have plenty of country to get at over there in the USA!
