Custom Campers

I dream of running away from home in a custom recreational vehicle.

No, seriously, I actually day dream about having a life so simple that I can hook up a trailer, load the dog in a car or truck next to me and just take off.  Forever.
There are people who say that the “geographic cure” just won’t do, that your troubles will catch up to you where ever you go.  I think those people just get tired and stop, eventually.  I think that if I were to just keep moving I could stay ahead of all my problems, writing from the road and selling photographs via a satellite Internet connection when I needed some money.  I think it could work.

And, surely, one of these fine, custom campers or RVs from the slideshow at MSN would make a fine home.  Anyone want to run away with me?  We could join the circus!

  1. Ah – fun! Where would you go first? When I was little we took road trips to Ohio. I don’t remember much of them – I was too little. I would love to go again someday, before I am too old, but when I wouldn’t have to worry about money. Money problems do follow you – unless you change your id. Old highways that wound through towns and special geological features that were once tourist traps. Do you suppose they still exist in this day and age?

  2. I don’t know, Cheri. I think I’d just start driving and keep going until I couldn’t stand to drive any more then just stop at the nearest town. Hell, maybe I’d invest in some of those tourist traps, because, yes, I’m sure they still exist. Then, again, I’ve thought about running and changing my name, too. That may be the only reason I haven’t run away from home, actually, is that I can’t quite bear to run away forever.
