Where I find myself now...
Along the Road
- Mosier to Homer, AK...what goes up, must come down
- Fiddletown to Mosier, OR...zigged, when I shoulda zagged
- Boonville to Fiddletown, CA...on the skids
- Battle Ground, WA, to Boonville, CA...coasting down the left coast.
- Seattle, WA to suburb of Portland, OR (Battle Ground, WA)...going the distance, and getting nowhere.
- East slope to West slope, Omak to Seattle, WA...what a difference a mountain makes.
- Heron to Omak, WA, a hop, a skip, and a jump.
- Longest intrastate leg, Reserve to Heron, MT
- Longest Leg, over 1000 miles, Wykoff to Reserve, MT
- Shortest leg so far, from Prairie Farm to Wykoff, MN
- From Columbiaville, over the top, to Prairie Farm, Wisconsin
- I left Edmonton, to stay the night in Indianapolis, then spent a night by the roadside somewhere in the middle of Michigan, and another in an old motel in Lapeer, MI, before arriving at Three Roods Farm, Columbiaville, MI.
- I sort of left Raleigh, to stay the night in Asheville, then stayed the next night in Pippa Passes, KY, before going on to Hill and Hollow Farm, near Edmonton, KY.
- I left Somerset Farm and went to Raleigh, to hang out with a friend for a while.
- I came to Somerset Farm, near Edenton, North Carolina from Twin Oaks.
- I went from Staten Island to Twin Oaks, near Louisa, VA
- I came from Manhattan to Staten Island
- I went to Manhattan from Staten Island
- I came to Staten Island from Kansas
- I arrived in Kansas after leaving Washington
- I went to Washington when I left Berkeley
- And before that, pretty much the entire San Francisco Bay Area
The longest I have ever lived in one place, after leaving my parents house at the age of 21, was about seven years (itch, itch, itch). And even then, I wasn't living in exactly the same place. I lived in my VW van at Docktown Marina (no longer existing), a small harbor off SF Bay in the town of Redwood City. Within a year, my boss and his wife had invited me to live in their house (I was working for a very small engineering firm), a house that had once been, additionally, occupied by their several children.
Strangely (?) the longest I've been with one particular job was about seven years also, as was the longest lasting exclusive relationship. How many times can we say seven?
I haven't found myself able to think of any particular place I would like to live. So, I've decided to live in no particular place for a while.
