getting going

I drive a 2000 kenworth w-900l, very purple, and for the last 6 weeks pull a rgn. Thats a trailer that I can drop the front of the trailer on the ground, and drive on what ever machine I need to. I can also carry loads up to 12 foot tall, which is an advantage at times.
I run mostly from the upper midwest, (kingsford Mi.) to the southeast. I've been pulling out of pensecola fl. for the last 5 weeks. I've got another 2 weeks to go, and I'm going to take a week off. I haven't had more than a day and a half at a time since christmas. (except this week end, but not being at home, I don't count this)
I don't have alot of time to do the things I like to do, but the pics of the trees on this page is from my camp. It's in northern wi. near the upper mi. border. I go there in my mind when I get bored, or agitated, or just when I need to take a break from reality. There isn't much there, just an old trailer, some where around a 1965 vintage travel trailer. It's 27 foot long, and in pretty good shape. In front of my trailer, I have a fire pit about 10 foot across that was built by my youngs't daughter. She did a great job.
One of the greatst parts of being leased to the company that I am, is that their yard is only about 6 miles from my camp. A lot of times, especially in the summer time, If I get in, and can't load until the next day, I'll go to the camp, cook alot of food on the grill, build a really big fire in the pit, drink a few corona's, and gaze at the sky and stars. One only needs to spend one night at the camp to realize how great it is to be alive. I love watching the chipmunks, red squirls, turkeys and deer.
Last summer, I had one young chipmunk who I think recognizes me. When ever I got to the camp, he'd come running and I'd always give him some corn, or cookies. I hope he made it thru the winter. Last spring, when I opened the trailer after sitting all winter, I found one of my drawers in the kitchen filled to the brim with pine cones. One of the red squirls had moved in. I found out that pine cones, a nice pile of them, work really well in the fire pit. Those things will burn for hours!!!
I didn't mean to go on about my camp, this is "thoughts from the road", but I've added this to give a little information about what keeps me going, and what I do in some of my free time. If anyone wants to know more, just let me know. I love talking about my camp. I'm in the process of planting fruits, and trees, and making my own shangrala.
This being my first blog, I'm learning as I go. I'm going to put some pics of my truck on here, of me, and of what ever I think is interesting to who ever may read this. I have no idea if anyone will or not, as I said, this is all new to me. Usually when I get on the computer, I surf just about as many sites as I can. I'm interested especially in making your own energy, building things, and ufo stuff. I'm listening to an internet radio show as I'm typing, The ufo show with Aaron Moriarty on blogtalkradio.com. Pretty interesting, give it a try.
I'll go for now, and if I see or think of something later, I'll be back. I've been told I'm like a bad dream, I keep comming back. L8ter
