    Hey WH,Instead of asking for people to put you to work,I would spin it around.Ask for sponsors for sections or portions of your trip.Make your journey route known in advance,plan a tour and post updates and pictures from the road on the site.Im sure we would all get a kick out of you and our fellow posters vamping up for some pics in cool locations.It would put faces(if they wanted) to the names.It would be cool to follow your adventure.Id get behind helping you out in some form.

    It could be cool.Maybe do it during a PJ tour and piggy back into some shows.For those of us who are at the shows you could enjoy some food,drink or other with whoever decided to come on out.

    Peeps could contribute 5,10,20 bucks whatever is affordable to on a certain stretch of your journey.you would be like an investigative reporter,pulling back the curtain (in a fun way)on our PJ 10c interweb friends.
    Think big!

    So let me get this straight?

    We are going to fund her travels across the US?
    We are all going to donate money, so she can enjoy a cross country vacation?

    I preferred it, when she was working her way through her travels.

    And just so everyone knows.
    I think this is the most ridiculous thread I have ever read.
    Hahahaha

    Sorry.

    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    I'd consider it.
    I believe she offered to work her way on this Speedy, and she was seeking thoughts about this if any one was game, I for one, like the creativity and am open to meeting her, she seems very nice.

    Seems nice. Sure.

    I still think the idea is absolutely ridiculous. Which I think was one of my options, in this poll she set up.

    Sorry.

    I truly appreciate your honesty. Without it, it wouldn't work. ( though it may just not work at all anyhow).And yes I prefer to work for the money, as I feel weird someone 'funding' my trip. That just is odd to me. But I could see that being people's options too. ( I.E. I don't want to participate, but I'll pay you to go away..) lol anyhow. At least SPEEDY here is being out right honest. And the whole point of this poll was to see wether or not I could garner enough support to try to plan this out. So far it's not looking great, which I kind of expected.. As for 'covering' my adventures, I totally planned on that.. The reason I chose this forum, was because the 10c group seems to be full of a majority of decent and honest people. I know if I did the work, they'd hold up their end. That's not always true, but more do HERE than anywhere else on the planet. Thanks again for your honest answer SPEEDY. :-)

    Yes. Understandably so. Hence the option listed. ;-)

    Nothing wrong with working for money. I do it almost everyday. Wondering how you would uphold your other financial commitments? Would you sell your home....and other obvious belongings? Haha Uncle Sam comes to mind - sorry - would you be considered self-employed? Could you afford health insurance, maintenance on the RV, RV insurance, where would you wash your clothes, would you be reduced to just bread and water??? Lol just thinking here...

    I love the RV idea. Bringing your companion is even better.

    I'm not sure I'd participate. My first reaction was sure why the hell not? But I tend to lean towards I'd rather meet up and hang out.

    People are weird about money. Don't mess with their family or their money.
    Oh please let it rain today.
    Those that can be trusted can change their mind.

    Again the reason for the option to
    Opt out. As for the RV and maintenance and insurance on it etc. I plan on having a back
    Up fund for that. I would accept PayPal, as an option just so no actual money has to change hands,etcetera. And it may just end up
    That I go do this off Day Labor sortof things. Who knows.? Thanks for your opinion.o appreciate it.

    Oh and as for possessions. I have none. Being an alcoholic, I
    Lost everything before I got sober. Nothing to tie me down. I will never own another house again. Total racket, too much stress, and I get bored in one place too easily. Range runner in me, I guess. So that part is taken care of already.

    Appears I may have pushed a button. My apologies. I will go vote. No intention to deflate any excitement.

    Pay pal is an excellent set up.

    I don't know what off day labor means..?

    Best of luck to you and hope nothing up happy and safe fun travels for you!

    Make sure you have some PJ love on the outside of the RV.

    No offense taken. I just literally have my cat and some clothes. Two
    Pieces of furniture from my grandparents, and some PJ stuff, and one record player. I don't even own the bed I sleep in. I was just answering your question about possessions. Sorry if that came out wrong. It has been a relief not having to worry about mortgages etc.
    and Day Labor is a company in the US that hired by the job, their motto is work
    Today get paid today. Just another possibility.

    Oh yeah, and my mother's ashes. I have her too. I guess she'd have to go too? Is it wrong to store that sorta thing? ( legitimate question)
    Totally just thought of Joe Dirt.. Where he has the dog's ashes hanging from the RVM!! Lmao!!

    I'm sure almost all of us are good people. Would you not be afraid of the occasional weirdo? How would you protect yourself?

    I've thought a lot about that Last12. ( May I call you Scott?) and I know that I don't want to go through the rigaramol of applying for an international carry permit. So the pistol will stay here. I used go be very efficient in Tae Kwon Do, ( made it to level 2 brown belt), but that was as a teenager, and my Dad's requirement, aside from completing schoolwork, when I got offered a job riding horses for show, by one of the parishioners of the church my Dad pastored for), however I haven't done anything along those lines since then. I also have go figure in the damage done by the nueropathy. But I could easily give a great dog somewhere a kick ass mobile home in exchange for it's loyalty and love; which is equal to
    Protection in a dog's world. Again, something else to continue investigating..

    I seem to recall another fan trying this around the time Into the Wild came out. I think he was from Florida and his username was something with "boy". Never really heard how it worked out.
    did you see me? i saw you.

    I really don't see anything ridiculous about this thread. I think protecting yourself would be as simple as making sure you have a fully charged phone with a signal on you at all times. You definitely don't need a gun. Maybe a can of pepper spray or a brass knuckles if you feel some sort of weapon is necessary. Personally I thought you were looking at a change in lifestyle, not a "vacation". There's nothing wrong with either way though. FoxyRed may have had a point about the State Taxes though. Might get a bit complicated.

    If you make it to Phoenix I can easily hook you up with the pepper spray and an overly strong (and thus illegal) taser. My brother sells that stuff all over the west coast and is always handing me things/samples. My eldest daughter has a bottle of pepper spray in her backpack as well as my wife carries one in her purse. I have a taser in my car that also is a flashlight in my car just in case. You never know when you will encounter a nut job.
