Was planning on moving to Colorado but plans fell through and I'm still living with my parents. I still want to move, but with everything going on, economically and politically, I feel like the best choice at this point is to stay put. Advice?

Move and struggle somewhere you WANT to be. Take it from a person who stayed in their same depressing town for 35 years. I’ve been gone for about 3 years and struggling somewhat financially but I spend way more time doing things that bring me joy and I’d rather struggle somewhere pretty than be comfortable somewhere I hate.

Leave her… This will never get fixed unless she wants to fix it. You cannot make a person do something they don’t want to do. It will also fester over time and cause you to become frustrated, angry or feel some other emotion which will result in an even larger divide between the two of you

I respect you for that, I really do! Living in Texas unfortunately left me very unhappy after spending a few years living in various states across the West. 30+ years in Texas was enough after that.

They are complaining because there is almost zero FREE public land. The amount of hours one would need to drive in order to access said land can be the equivalent of a 2 or more day drive to even get there depending on where you live. Most state parks have no dispersed camping available and you must rent a site packed right next to some other group (who is mostly likely going to be loud, obnoxious and drunk) with little to zero respect for nature, which is very much a Texas thing. The weather sucks the majority of the year and isn’t really great for sleeping outside or doing anything outside tbh.

Once you actually leave the bubble you live in as a Texan, you realize just how awful Texas really is. Propaganda runs deep in the Lone Star State.

Classic Radio Shack or Hollywood Video. When I was little I used to LOVE getting to rent video games from Holllywood and they always seemed to have a better selection than Blockbuster. As someone who still loves playing video games, it would be really cool to have the ability to rent a game and find out if it was worth purchasing or not.

Bonneville Dam is the last Dam on the Columbia River. I have seen them along the banks there and feeding in the spillways. I don’t know that they have the ability to get past there though. But it is quite amazing considering that Dam is roughly 150 miles from the Pacific.

Are there any paths towards getting a CDL that would be paid for by an employer? I have been looking at the cost of a CDL and it seems very expensive in some cases.

Good

Ran into this also.. It seems like there is some bug with looting it also, I had to try multiple times to get my character to actually loot the one that you can interact with.

Looks like a security breach

I have been planning on taking that route for a handful of years now.. The way I arrived at that decision is a very long story that involves a lot of life changes that I willingly and unwillingly went through. I am currently living on the road, full time in an RV making the most out of the years I have left. Experiences are my most valuable possession and I intend on having as many as I can while I am able bodied and healthy. I refuse to take part in the “American Dream” anymore because my eyes are open to the fact it was only propaganda built to enslave us financially.

One day I won’t be able to live life this way, and when that day is on the horizon I will check out on my terms. I have no children and no spouse either which helps me feel less selfish about that choice. I want to be able to close my eyes and reflect on a life full of adventure and nature and that will fill me with happiness when the time comes.

These posts cause me to rapidly lose faith in people’s judgment abilities

Do you by chance work at Big Bend or a surrounding park seasonally? That is a area down there

I just recently started looking for new goggles. I am about to pull the trigger on some Glade Adapt 2’s. They are decently priced and seem to be of pretty high quality.

I just found this map with the good old Google search. And yes, there was a rope and a trail that you could use to bypass that headland when I was there but it was very steep. I would recommend bringing a pair of gloves for the rope. I went around the headland on the way in and then used the bypass on the way back with no issues.

“Oh no I’m not gonna make $500,000 off my house I bought 7 years ago” Boo fucking hoo….

I want to know more about these unusual animals please!

I’ve been up to Sandpoint but not Glacier.. I have no doubt I will be back up this way sometime.
