Headed for the desert out west in a Corolla Cross with @Moxie, looking for a small piece of land and a place to set up home base and build from there.

Equipping the ride for life on the road comes in around $3K—cot, power station, fridge, heat and cooling, and the basics to make it work.

Less overhead. Fewer anchors. More mobility, resilience, and freedom to grow and build.

No idea what the future brings.

Stepping into the unknown is daunting, but this is the way forward.

October is the deadline. One way or another, we go.

For those who’ve followed my posts over the years, believe in the mission, and want to support the journey—zaps are welcome and deeply appreciated.
