Hello world! Let me start by saying I am not a professional writer (or blogger for that matter). Let me make that very clear. This blog is not only for my own documentation, but for you. (you know who you are) My name is Will. I am at a point in my life where my free spirited nature and zest for life is coming into fruition. I have sold most of my personal possessions and what I have decided to keep is in storage. I am now homeless, sorta, with the exception of my off road truck camper setup. I no longer have roots in any particular place or anyone expecting me to come home. I am now a nomad seeking adventure and life's little surprises along the way.
My background starts from my early adult years in the United States Air Force. I am now an able bodied disabled veteran, divorced with 3 adult children, single for a while, and gave up my career as a Wildlife Biologist. Thankfully, I am income secure, highly skilled, and know my way around the public lands of western U.S. I have been traveling the west over the summers for the last 7 years or so. I have 3 pups that accompany me. 2 Black Labs (momma and her pup) and a Pomeranian. Their names are Piper Little Bear, Evie Knievel, and Zoey Whitefoot, respectfully. They are my very best friends and I owe my life to them. I just want to add that I am giving them their best life possible because of it. You will see plenty of content of them. Trust me! They are highly adventurous.
So why am I doing this? I have no earthly idea, but either something inside me is guiding me or something out there is pulling me closer. Regardless, I am going until it's time to come home or when something or someone starts pulling me back. I love nature photography, including wildlife. I also love the lapidary arts just as much although it's not possible on the road. But most of all, I enjoy the solitude of being lost in the wilderness. It is a lonely thing to love so much, but a worthy cleansing of the mind. I am the best version of myself out here in the wide open spaces. So, if you happen to stumble across these words and find them to be intriguing or even somewhat inspiring, then I have done right in the world. I very much look forward to this new endeavor. I am ready to get lost!
