Yeah, I only hiked the 2183 miles here in the states. Georgia to Maine

I have traveled outside of Canada in the 80s. Came back in the 90s, haven't left my province yet. I drove into Saskatchewan once, by accident.

Haha, I'll bet it is 😂 They used to regularly visit the farm in SK every few years, bring fresh lobster and we'd have a huge surf and turf BBQ family reunion. The East coasters knew how to party! 🍖🦞🍻

Now that I'm thinking about it, I've only really visited 6 states for any length of time. That's less than I thought. For anyone who answers 1, I respect their contentment.

I really enjoyed hiking the Appalachian mountains in TN/ NC and NH/ ME.

I also love the boundary waters in MN.

No kidding. I wonder what difference in distances is? That price is also with 2-3 connections and usually a layover. Every time i've gone, with time change and delays, it's taken me over 20 hours to get back home XD. It's rough.

I would like to visit the East Coast, the only provinces I've never been. I've got relatives in Sackville, NB. Someday I'll get out there.

We have traveled a lot around the states and Canada as well. Although things have changed, we used to just pull off on a quiet spot and camp. Now you are expected to pay high ticket camping in most places. We still car camp plenty but it's different. Deffinetly just define the places we are shooting for and go direct. Much less wandering than before.

XD. Funny enough, when I was up there, it was "working on trucks" sort of. Still a computer guy, but I was up there to work in the shop for a bit.

It's pretty everywhere, didn't feel like I needed to go anywhere, just look around you know. A moose in your window in the morning, to the left a mountain, to your right the sea. East was the city up on the coast, north was another town. Just being there on the porch was an adventure enough I guess.

Looking back, sure I wish I did more things but I was much younger, had girl problems and was traveling alone XD

I can always go back, but I've been fighting the $1200 plane tickets.

I finally get to say something I’ve always wanted to say for the first time in 16 years:

Day 2 off nicotine 😆

3 Provinces.

3 States.

Plans to visit many more.

Interesting! I don’t feel that everyone has to “see the world”. And I (clearly) love my home immensely. But in my heart I crave seeing different lands.

2 Chips, different takes. 😉

It's fun to go on a trip, by I'm always happy to be back home. I've visited 7 province, 1 territory and 2 states.

I was raised on the prairie, and I'm always relieved to return after visiting the mountains or heavily forested areas. Too much stuff sticking out of the ground, blocking my view. I feel the same way about large cities with sky scrapers, etc.

I have big wanderlust and want to see all the things 😂. I've been all over the state (Texas), a handful of other states and Carribbean islands (on cruises). Hoping to get out more now that the kid is being home schooled and our schedule is more open.

I have probably been to 25-30 states

Ryan took the words out of my mouth.

G’morning! Been busy. How about you???

Agreed.

I'm trying not to judge people's reason for their comfort. For some it's genuine, for others they may be scared or haven't felt it worth the bother idk. I have family members that will probably die without leaving the handful of states they grew up in. Those same people have lived in the same 2 square miles their whole life, including the generations before them. The flip side, is there is often a pressure to "see things before you die" not a genuine interest in travel. Idk I'm not a touristy person, I enjoy seeing those things but I'm like, yeah that's neat, back to work. On my second trip, I lived in Alaska for a couple months and honestly never really traveled past 60 miles outside of anchorage. Just didn't interest me, I was enjoying my time working. But I also never grew up around those who had an interest in travel or seeing things.

Lol

Morning, had to get out & wayer this am. Gonna be a long day

Going to have a go at using Brave as a browser, and Kagi as search

Although I have a VPN, I don't use it all the time, and am keen to use as many privacy focused tools as possible

Any tips on what else to try?

I think many people now don't know how to use a browser, anymore. Which is ironic, since so many apps are just PWAs. 😂

Means everyone gets their Internet completely prechewed and filtered. Even worse than the search engine mania.

Gm Chip, that coast reminds me of the Hopewell Rocks. You are fortunate to live so close

Morning 🥰🥰

GM NOSTR. Have a great day ☕🙃

Good to hear, stay safe. Up yer exploring in the swamps in the meantime?

I’m a little ways away - keeping an eye on things. We have friends in the area.

Everything is so dry. I’m even having a hard time finding streams on the trails that are typically drenched.

Gm fam ☺️

Nostr flowers everywhere 💜

had extra cash at the time and got a 1000. i dont tend toward brand names, but the difference in quality between jackery and other batteries is unbelievable.

i didnt get the jackey panels though, i got two standard 100w 12v panels. they work great.

i feel like a giddy kid getting away with something every time i remember i can get all the power i need from a small setup like this 🤓

I wake up on Sunday and think only of one thing: pizza

just have a 10x12 awning set up with what amounts to a living room with a low table, a tent (facing east for morning sun), two panels and a jackery that is usually fully charged by evening

Just the back yard after 3 years of crowding out the grass

PV chip! It's a beautiful day there 🫂🌞

🌊 A splash of sea vibes & creativity! 🎨

Hand-painted stones bringing summer to life. 🌞✨
