I am a full time RVer living in a 35 foot fifth wheel with two slides pulled by a Dodge 2005 Ram 3500 4 x 4 with a 6 speed manual transmission and a Hillsboro Aluminum Bed. That was for the Gear Heads out there. I travel with two very spoiled Dachshund boys; Danny and Scrotum.

My first rig was purchased in 1995 and have been mostly on the road since. This is my fourth rig over the years. I am in New Mexico for the summer months having work on the truck and on me. The plan is to leave here in the fall for Quartzsite and Southern California for the winter. Over the years have been a Workamper, worked in lots RV parks and done a lot of volunteering at different museums. These days I want to travel and be a tourist rather than work all the time. 

The summer run is now being planned starting at either Quartzsite or at the BLM Long Term Visitor Area in Holtville, California. This will be a big loop coming back to the Southwest for the winter. The run will be: CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, ND, MN, IA, KS, OK, TX, NM, AZ. 

I am looking for a short, slim, brunette lady 45 to 55 who does not smoke, drink, use drugs or have mental health issues. I am in need of adult supervision at times, like most old men, and someone who can make me laugh. Must like spoiled dogs and help with navigation, prepping to go, set up when stopped, help clean and cook a bit. 

A blog has been started of the plans for the 2013-14 Adventure Route that will list the route, most of the stops, and a rough, very rough, time schedule. I want to enjoy most of the national, state, county, city parks as well as National Forest and more. I do primitive or boondocking the majority of time. My rig is set up with 300 watts of solar and can stay out for two weeks before dumping and loading water. It is rare for me to stop at a commercial park. Do Elks lodges and military bases at times. If you are interested I will send a link to the blog.

I am an active ham radio operator who plan to stop in areas that are rare counties, or grid zones for hams across the world to add to their logs. I did that last summer to have a great time handing out contacts to some very rare places. 

My traveling is S L O W. After all these years I have finally learned some things; These are my rules.

I do not drive one day, stop, get up the next morning to drive again. The stop has to be 2 or 3 days.

No more than 300 miles per day but most have been 200 to 250 and some.......YES.....50 miles. 

I leave between 8 and 9 in the morning after eating breakfast. I DO NOT stop for fast food at all. Okay will stop for a cup of coffee when getting fuel.

Always be stopped long before it gets dark. I have stopped in the dark once and never will do it again.

If the weather is bad stay another night or more. That is rain, high wind, snow........NOT SNOW...flooding and so on.

So that is it . I am really hoping to find a lovely lady who wants to experience all of these Western States and share my life as a nomad.

( Glad to send photos of the rig and the boys. What? Me too? Of course!)
