 Good morning. Today is the final day, the leaving day, of RTR. I want to share quickly some things that I liked and disliked about my experience at the RTR. First thing I liked, the community. What a fantastic group of people, like-minded people, just very carefree, caring and just just really good people out here. Very trustworthy people, very happy people. Second thing I liked about the RTR was to meet people face-to-face, which is kind of the reason why I got a little bit behind on videos out here, which is also kind of the reason why I didn't do everything I wanted to do as far as tours and meeting up with certain people and stuff like that. I did put my GPS coordinates so I had a lot of people coming in and out and thank you to every single person who did come out to meet me. I think I was able to meet 90-something percent of the people who came to my location. I still need to meet, well, still need to meet up with Bob, show him the bus, and a couple other people missed me as well. Another reason I liked the RTR was to meet all walks of life out here in different types of rigs. You don't have to have a school bus or a van or an RV, a car. Everybody's free to do it their own way and that's really important is to do it in whatever way that makes you make sense for you. Something else I really liked about the RTR was to meet people who watch my videos. I really appreciate Mel and Diane who stopped by and gave me a gift and as well as Jackie that was very kind and as well as a viewer who came by with a truckload of wood who drove 100 miles away from over by Kingman, Arizona. So thank you so much. It was incredible to show up somewhere with so much, I don't know, graciousness, kindness, generosity, and that's how I try to treat people in my life, my friends. So I feel like I've made all these friends and I haven't even met you guys yet, so that was really special. Something I didn't like about the RTR was how spread out it was and I almost felt like I put myself in a hole over here or like a little location because I wanted to be available to people, two people coming by to say hello and everything and so it was things were very spread out which is also a good thing because the popularity of off-grid living, getting rid of your apartment and retiring on the road is growing, it's alive and healthy and it seems like people are just going bananas for this lifestyle which is really cool. It's gonna help everyone. I think that was really my only complaint was just how spread out it was but again it's actually it's good because a lot of people are into it. Just some things to note, we are out here in the desert. I don't understand why everyone loves courtsite, the weather is nice but the town is kind of doesn't really have a lot, it's kind of a small little town. There's a couple of really small grocery stores and I didn't really like the grocery stores and I went to Blythe a couple times to a Albertsons which was actually not too far away 20 miles away so I'm starting to realize that maybe people just kind of rotate from BLM spot to BLM spot out here which in that case makes perfect sense because that's what you legally have to do although nobody's really keeping track especially right now the federal government shut down. I don't think anybody at the BLM office is even working, even the NASA social media shut down. Something else I liked about the RTR was the fact that people were searching for these videos like crazy on the internet and that's probably thanks to people like Bob and Nomadic Fanatic and the other large channels which have promoted this event to its size. I guess when it first started years ago it was on the other side of town and there was like 20 people who showed up so that's pretty cool to see that this is growing so much as it is. Not really like a dislike but maybe a suggestion for next year is to have I don't know maybe some kind of a map although how would you do that? Maybe a place where I know there's all since it's such a big event and so many people I felt that there were almost like subgroups of people who wanted to link up so I know that there's ran into a couple people who were in more active and wanted to meet you know mountain bikers and things like that but I think if you had a mountain bike and you rode around for example you could spot someone else with a mountain bike maybe strike up conversation so perhaps that's a suggestion. So anyways those are a few things that I liked and almost all likes just I think one dislike or just one kind of you know hump in the road if you will. Okay so also something I did here at this event is that I tried to be at this location as much as possible and I tried to meet people face to face and have meaningful conversations. It's very hard for me to respond to every comment in this video with a meaningful response and so it's very important to me personally that if someone comes up to me I want them to feel welcome that they are validated that they are you know a part of the group you know and of course I showed my appreciation for people as best I could and so it's I feel like my videos weren't as good as they could have been but it was also a learning lesson for basically two weeks of socializing and being around people and stuff like that and perhaps next time you know once it's after sunset it's edit time for me and yeah maybe park in different locations so that if someone didn't see like an update you know GPS they would see me driving around or something like that but the buses you can't miss it out here. So anyways on that note I'm gonna head about an hour or so north back up to Havasu. I did mention this before I'm trading interview videos with my friend buslife adventure he's making me a custom website and I'm making him exclusive content meaning I'm making interviews for him that aren't gonna be on my channel as a trade so I need to go meet up with steampunk Steve again because I forgot to ask him certain questions and that's just what happens when you're just inundated with stuff and you're just kind of yeah I was a little forgetful and I know there's a couple more buses up there too Jeremy's didn't come out so well Jeremy Veach if you guys were asking about the white and yellow bus that didn't that didn't turn out because I was using a road mic and the audio was just completely ruined so on that note yeah we're heading out of town right now. Guys meet Greg I'm gonna start calling him bird man from now on bird man flies in any weather hey always a pleasure hi yeah it is but it was good to see ya very nice to meet you too. Sodium then a regular tortilla chip or slightly I don't know more corny flavorful and also they come in a baked version which is super low in fat but I like the flavor of these better also if you didn't know Home Depot has a phenomenal return policy I brought in this old tool set I had I think it was about two years old one of the ratchets stopped working I got a brand new set also to be a little bit more organized with my like wire snaps like butt snaps and a bunch of like odds and ends I got a little organizer and this thing was only like 15 bucks or 16 bucks so that's pretty awesome and then of course you know I stocked up with the usual bananas apples water stuff like that destination uncertain really nice gay he's been over at Jamie's van bill party and the RTR bricks a happiness on Instagram is right there they have a really cool bus I'm gonna do an interview exclusive interview for my friend's channel and then of course everybody knows steampunk Steve right there so that's that's the main reason I came was to catch these guys and yeah do a couple interviews so looks like you know familiar faces over here how funny is that oh boy oh boy oh boy check out the sunset oh man this is a good one so just for reference if anybody was watching me while I was in the Havasu region before I'm kind of in between Lake Havasu and the 40 freeway which is just 10 or 15 miles that way town is I don't know five miles that way or 10 miles that way so and this is a BLM Bureau of Land Management campground all right I should say yeah like camp correct camping area dispersed campings what they call it basically pack in pack out if you bring your trash you take it out if you poop here you take it out all that fun stuff I was filling up in court site earlier before we got here to Havasu and I was chatting with this this guy and a blue car pulled up behind me which I thought was just one to you know fill up with gasoline really nice kid like waved or whatever and I was just thinking it was like I don't know looking to fill up the tank and then as I left I noticed he passed me so if that was you and you wanted to meet me I'm really sorry I thought you just wanted to pull in and grab some gas if anybody sees me out about I'm super friendly so holler at me say my name and yeah let me know that you want to like say hi or something or chitchat and I'll be totally happy to you know pull over or stop what I'm doing and you know chitchat that stuff so sorry dude a little misunderstanding I felt bad I was like oh man hope you like wasn't like bummed out I would never want anybody to feel bummed out you know so yeah
