ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLES

I have thought about this a lot in our current economy, and considering our current one income/one paycheck away from the dreaded cardboard box economy...it's becoming more attractive as the election (our possible impending doom as a culture if bunnypants wins) draws near. Here's the plan:
Put the house on the market.
Sell everything we own with some travelling exceptions.
Sell the house, pay off the loan and have about $125,000 to play with.
Buy a crew cab truck with a camper shell, load it up and hit the road. Bank cards and cell phones in hand.Doggies in the back.
Travel across the land, visiting all the places we want to see...picking up work where we can find it to meet the basic expenses, let most of the house proceeds gain interest and invest.
Live in the truck at KOA campgrounds and the occaisional hotel when we want to splurge.
Document everything on a wifi empowered laptop w/ digital camera.
East coast,West coast and everything in between...even canada.
You could spend a year hitting all the national forests in colorado alone...on the cheap.
It's escapist I know...but it beats the hell out of what's happening here now.
