What 3 things

[Juneaudave]

Ya know...I might just buy a couple of truck loads of logs, start peeling off the bark and build a log cabin for retirement. $100,000 doesn't go as far nowadays, but that two years off sure sounds good!!!

Two years huh .......Well, Id prolly blow it all in the first three months, then spend the next 21 months being board.and broke

#1 I would fly to San Diego and see my son Tyler off on his 7 month deployment and rescue his Harley from a sad fate of summer storage and cruise it the long way back east.
#2 I would bribe Cary and Craig to have my dream Camp Inn ready by late August so I could start a return trip west to welcome Tyler back home in October and spend the winter enjoying the southwest. The spring would find me following the blossoms north with an Alaskan tour as a goal.
#3 I would construct a small custom home on at least 10 acres during the remaining half of the second year with the proceeds from the sale of my present home.
I kinda wonder what my wife would do!

I don't care about the money, but the time off would be great...
I'd spend it (The time) with my love... TDN.

Pay everthing off and talk to a realator to Sell. Spend about two months time and 8 to 10K building a new larger self-contained camping trailer (6 by 12 standy, with internal galley and crapper) and do some additional restoration on the tow (added gas tank---40 gal and fix the AC). Then I'd hit the road for the summer with the intent of finding an out of the way place with a small attached--university for the fall where I could sign up for some graduate classes. Conditions to consider for the fall/winter nesting dock, rural, mountains (oceans would also be a consideration), snowy winters (I'm tired of ice storms), good fishing, available wifi, and a micro brewery.

The winter I'd spend in the tear, but I'd plant it under an EMT geodesic dome covered with UV resistant greenhouse plastic. I've built a couple of these as greenhouses---good weather tight structures--strong, tight, and when warm during the daylight hours---more importantly they're cheap and roomy (I've built a 20 diameter hemisphere for less than $1K) and at the end of the winter it's easily dismantled to free the tear for the next summers travel--to Maine, the Upper Peninsula, the Dells, Devils Tower, Yellowstone and the Tetons, Glacier, the Pacific Coast Highway from Lincoln City to San Luis Obispo. And East to Zion, Rocky Mountains, New Orleans and Memphis, the Smokey’s, the Travel along the Bluegrass Parkway, and the Eastern Shore of Virginia, returning to the next year of school through the New and Red River Gorges. Replant the tear, reassemble the EMT dome and finish a graduate degree. The next summer I'd hit the road again roughly following the same route only backwards.

Then it would be time to retire where I could hit the road full time, stopping only when and where the weather matched my clothes.
