Each time I get a few days off I head out to explore. I have a growing list of the camper’s favorite places they have shared with me. One of the first trips was to West Glacier where I spent the night parked along Lake McDonald in order to be there bright and early. The freedom of leaving the trailer behind outweighed a comfortable nights sleep, considering I needed to be up at 4 a.m.

Farms and ranches lined the roads and highways hemmed in by mountain ranges with snowcapped peaks. The hay meadows alternate with green pastures where cattle or horses were grazing. I did not see the usual billboards or neon. No city lights off in the distance.

Four months before I bought my camper, I started selling my things. I sold my stuff on FB marketplace. It’s easy to access, easy to get notifications, and I could respond quickly. I could also check profiles of potential buyers for safety. I tried other platforms, like Thred-up, Poshmark, eBay, and Craigslist but there was no comparison
