U-Pick — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/upick
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? Benton Harbor, MI. July 17, 2016. Read the handwritten sign. I was standing in front of it, staring dumbly while the girl sitting in the farm stand asked for a second time, what did I want to pick. Less than 24 hours previous, I had arranged for our stay at The Extraordinary Berry by speaking with the proprietor, Chuck. Our Harvest Hosts. Chuck confirmed that we were welcome to stay at the farm and that they were p...

Lessons From the Road — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/lessons
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? Lessons From the Road. December 14, 2015. This is an entry that has been months in the making. That was not a conscious decision, by any means. Although I did intend to allow ample time for contemplation, I’ll admit that life off the road has been every bit as consuming as I hoped it would not be. Does that make sense? My employer and colleagues were thrilled to have me back. I can’t say enough good things abou...

Close to Home, A World Away — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/glamping
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? Close to Home, A World Away. Indiana Dunes State Park. June 05, 2016. In 10 months of living in campgrounds all across the country, I thought I had seen most everything. But today, just a few miles from my home, I discovered the cloistered world of vintage travel trailer clubs. Color me intrigued. One of three VW camper vans on display in the campground's vintage village. No worries. The residents of the vintag...

A Year to Remember — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/year
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? A Year to Remember. December 31, 2015. If I could, I would do 2015 all over again. Idyllic, challenging, adventurous and transforming it was life as I wish it could always be lived. But it was not sustainable, nor was it meant to be. From its conception almost three years previous, our time on the road was designed to be a splurge. December 31, 2015.

Navigator? Or Driver? — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/4/10/2016/navigator
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? April 10, 2016. The other day it occurred to me that, more than once over the course of our travels around America, savvy fellow campground-dwellers asked which of us was the navigator. And then I started to wonder had I stumbled upon a major personality divide? Are we ALL divided into Navigators and Drivers? Let me find someplace fabulous for you to visit. I’d be happy to. Really. So, is it nature or nurture?

Free Range — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/8/10/2015/free-range
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? August 10, 2015. We drove from North Dakota to Montana yesterday, with only brief stops for gas and food. I call these, commuting days, and they’re really disorienting. I feel a little like a floating dandelion seed, drifting from badlands to grasslands to mountain ranges, looking for a place to put down roots. Our roomy (and free! Located in the Yellowstone Recreation Area, Itch-Kep-Pe Park. August 10, 2015.

Thrill Seeking Behavior — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/8/14/2015/thrill-seeking-behavior
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? August 16, 2015. Ski bums, river rats and smoke jumpers you can't kick a hacky sack around here without hitting an adrenaline junkie. So, we booked a whitewater raft trip through Alberton Gorge. When in Rome. There are few thrills to be had at Jim and Mary's RV Park. It is cute as a button and landscaped with flowers grown from seed and as lovingly cared for as the rest of the facilities. The only knock against...

Three Strikes — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/threestrikes
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? Les Schwab Tire Center. August 25, 2015. We have made every effort, throughout this adventure, to remain flexible and work intuitively, letting serendipity be our guide. Tonight we are camped beside a tire and brake shop. Tomorrow we will decide whether to give Glacier National Park another chance. Three days ago, while preparing to leave Lake Mary Ronan State Park. We decided to tough it out, checking into our sit...

Grand — Anything Can Happen Day
http://www.anythingcanhappenday.com/blog/9/23/2015/grand
What would happen if you left your job and hit the road with only the sketchiest of plans? Grand Teton National Park. September 23, 2015. A dozen years ago I decided that I would get married in Grand Teton National Park on the shores of a mountain lake. I had never been there. My selection was based entirely on having seen photos like this one. We ultimately settled on a location closer to home (have you priced airfare to Jackson Hole? So last week's visit to the Tetons was my first. In a town where a gr...
