Ollie..... dang man, spellcheck that first sentence;)
Ya know, if not for my kids (and grandkids I'd miss)... and the fact that I'd miss being around my mom and dad... I'd SO do something like that. Just leave it all behind and.... GO.
Mission hell, there are always creeks and rivers to camp alongside of, just bring a tent and sleeping bag. I'd need an SUV, cause my instruments... go with me.
Okay, now you're getting ME excited about a trip I'll never be taking. Well, not "never", maybe someday. (dang that word) Perhaps I'll catch up with ya on the road somewhere, a couple years from now...
(and no, I'm not funning, I'm quite serious)
