So... now that I finally decided to crawl out of my hole, i'm trying to figure out where you start out you're already over the hill...loling at myself. I never thought fifty was old and especially not now that i'm here haha..
I guess I thought the best place to put the next foot forward would be in a community with people that have similar- ish interest in lifestyles. Possibly in the Oregon area.... Thats where im headin.

So....How's it going world.?
Im Dani 😃

.Thats sooo good to hear as its still a place im working towards.!!
I have family in the Beaverton area.So i'm trying to get closer to them , but I prefer to continue my offgrid lifestyle.
I've been looking into some small properties.One or two acres is way more than enough for me , but I do like the idea of having space and maybe one day a sustainable lifestyle.. again

I never expected to be starting over, but iv learned not to fight the current.
I'm just hoping to grab onto a branch somewhere down stream lol

Hey there Dani, welcome back to Oregon.  :-)  I just relocated back here myself about a year ago now.  Have you ever visited the southern Oregon coast where the climate is mild? There seems to be a steady flow of van dwellers strolling up and down hwy101... My place is small, but comfy and cozy, in walking distance to the wild and scenic beaches. There is at least 7 major parks in the near vacinity not to mention forests and mountains. Its slow living for the most part, but I still like to travel too.
Anyway, wishing much luck in living your best life.  :-)
