I don't go anywhere completely unarmed, but here it's tough to roll around PROPERLY armed, because of the gun laws. ( we finally got CCW in 2011)

My Wisconsin permit is only good until 2016, so I'll probably Get my AZ permit, so I can carry while visiting places like UT and NM. I'd like to see some of the Anasazi ruins in NM especially.


Just a little over a month, and I will be hitting the road.

Give me a holler when your here, do you have a place already picked out to live already?

No, not really, just the Prescott area. (wherever I find a good place to rent)

I'll just put my  stuff in storage right away, while I look for a place. I'll probably stay at a motel or camp out until I find a place.

Monday I'm going to call these guys AAA-Xtra Space Storage and see if I can get a 10x15 rented, to put my trailer and motorbike in.


I should be able to make it to your birthday shoot too, so that will be cool.

Talk to Rob, tell him Adam sent you.

(I get no commission )

Talk about a streak of bad luck. The motor on my first truck blew up as soon as I hit the interstate in Wisconsin, barely got the truck and trailer back home. Unpacked almost everything looking for the title, sold it for a quick $500.

Found out uhaul wanted $2100 for the smallest cube truck they had, so I bought a beater 2000 Ranger, and did a little work to it. Left again Friday around noon, made it to the panhandle of Oklahoma in one shot. Left OK Saturday morning.

Saturday afternoon I was on I40 going through Gallup NM, and I had a brand new camper trailer in front of me lose it's spare tire. I had traffic on one side and guardrail on the other. So I ended up running it over.

It broke my rear brake lines, one leaf spring, one seal on the rear axle, rear bumper, and caught on the underside of my trailer so bad it just about turned it inside out. The trailer is a total loss. I'll have to go to Tractor Supply and just buy another one I guess.

So I've been stuck in a motel in Gallup all this time, waiting for my truck to get fixed.

Other than that everything's going well.

Does their insurance cover you or are you SOL? Ive always wondered about an incident like that.

So this is the "Bust" part I take it?



I was wondering about you, if you changed your mind, went dark and gave up on the internet or just arf alone

I've been pretty busy getting everything ready to go, so I haven't been around much, plus I don't have a computer anymore, just my phone.

About the spare tire guy and his insurance, he probably never knew it happened. ( it was a camper trailer) He never stopped, and at 70 mph just trying to get out of traffic, I never had a chance to get the plate number.

Funny thing happened though, somebody came along and swiped the spare.

I saw a thread (maybe on this site?) a couple of years ago. Guy had an old tarp he hot-glued a bunch of crap to.... soda cans, coffee cups, crumpled-up fast food bags, etc. Kind of like a ghillie suit for the landfill.

He'd throw it over the load of guns in the back when he went shooting. Made the cargo area of his SUV look like it was full of trash, lol.




ETA: Just saw your update. That sucks. Keep us posted.

Well, I finally escaped from Gallup. Went through a gnarley hail storm before Flagstaff, and arrived in Prescott within the last hour.

I doubt it, but hopefully some of the storage unit businesses around town are open Sunday. Otherwise I'll have to wait until Monday to get this truck and trailer unloaded. That's the first order of business.

Congrats on getting out here! Sounds like you were pretty determined.

Amen to that.

OP, come send me a PM when you get the chance, let's burn some ammo and celebrate with a bang your first tastes of freedom.

Well guys, I got a storage unit, got the truck and trailer unloaded Sunday. Today I got the trailer sold on craigslist. And I got a room rented in a house on a nice property. After everything that's happened I'm getting pretty low on cash, so I might end up selling a few things off while I find some work.

But I don't have any bills to pay for a month, so I should do alright.

Edit, if anybody knows anyone who needs painters in the area please let me know.

Congrats on the move. Welcome to AZ, brother.

My wife and I moved down here a couple weeks ago and we're about to close on a house and start new jobs. I don't know about your area, but there are plenty of jobs of all kinds to be had in the PHX area.

Thanks to everybody for the welcome.

I know there's a lot of work down near Phoenix lew, but I'm pretty much committed for good or bad to Prescott. I drummed up a few things to look into this week. Besides, the heat and congestion in the city might not be so good for me.

I can't help you right now but come tax returns I will need my house painted. I will keep you in mind if you don't mind driving down to phx. i had a delivery up to Prescott today on Cortez street. I need to move up. There... Best of luck.
