What do you get with an AdventureVanMan video?......Slow moving waves of a lake, small creatures tending to their business, leaves waving in the wind, the sun peering over yonder, a bite of something tasty and a steaming hot cup of coffee. You get a reason to smile in the morning 😃

The nuances of your traveling lifestyle are particularly enjoyable for me. Making your breakfast in the morning, your dinner in the evening, setting up and breaking down camp, traveling down a pretty yet isolated road (explaining exactly where you are to benefit others in their future travels), exploring local areas where you are camped. Thank you for sharing your nomad life with those of us who not often get to leave the armchair. :-)

I immediately thought tornado safe zones, but it’s a real shame to see such nice structures falling into disrepair. I hope they are in the process of renovating them per the new slabs. A couple of screen doors and windows would keep the birds out, and those big ones would make fantastic party pavilions. Throw in a few solar panels, and they could have lights.

That's a nice out of the way camp spot. Since your usually near a river or lake did you ever consider throwing a line in and trying to land a few fish? It would be a great pass time and strech the food budget. I love the WPA builds the use of the natural materials in the projects and the quality of the construction is evident in condition that they are in to this day. Might be another addition to the videos! They are all over the country. Get to the warmer weather and Happy travels. Beeps.

It feels strange (to me) that when I see videos like yours, where the trees are either bare or bright orange, the trees here are *just now* starting to turn colors. There may be 3 or 4 leaves on each tree that are yellow or a slight reddish orange. But... I do live in the northernmost part of the "tropical" zone here in extreme southeastern Virginia. It's gonna be mid 70's today & upper 70's tomorrow. Nice!

WPA projects. They did a lot of that back in the 30's. I noticed on Wikipedia that nearly every city and town got a new park. They update ours with a new roof once in a while. I swear the one outhouse still has the old, heavy wooden door and latch, though. It's massive.
