Hello Again from the Road
I Didn't Know I Had a Second Blog!
To be honest, I forgot I had this blog. I created my new one at AllieRambles.com to document my hiking and RV life AllieRambles.com to document my hiking and RV life but I generally don't show a lot of my private life or emotions there. I mostly like to talk about where I go and how to live on the road.
Then about a week ago I thought about starting a blog again. I feel the need to talk about my personal life, my ups and downs and all that. Just me talking, I mean writing, about it all, like I am right now. I went to check out Blogger because I don't want to bother with too many design elements and a host. When I arrived at Blogger Google told me I already had a blog here!
Mogollon Rim, Arizona (I was just there a week ago)
So wow! All I need to do is write!
What should you expect going forward from this blog?
My last post was in 2020. It is now May 2024 and I gotta tell you, a lot has happened in my life.
Since 2020, I have lived on the road in an RV, travel trailer and Ford Ranger. I've dated, loved and loss and loved again. I lived in Flagstaff, Arizona. I've backpacked portions of the AZT and Colorado trail. I made new friends and lost some too.
Those are just the highlights.
I want to share these details with you. My highs and lows. Who has been in and out of my life. Maybe some juicy details, maybe not, you'll have to come along with me to see the reveal.
Oh! I also started a YouTube channel --> Allie Rambles YouTube Allie Rambles YouTube.

Hang Out with Me
Let's hang out. I'm going to go back to the time I started out, back in July (or was it June) 2020 when I left mom's house during the Pandemic to solo RV...
I'm going back to my storage unit to grab my journals. My plan is to read them again (there's a lot, apparently I love writing and venting on paper). Then create audio and video using my entries to share here.
Get ready for some juicy gossip. Just kidding. But there has been a lot of drama in my life since 2020. But even more important are the stories and adventures. Where did I go? Who was I with? Did I grow mentally in the last few years? Did I encounter a grizzly? Moose? Bald eagle? Do I still hike? Own an RV?
I know, I sound like a selfish, heartless bitch. "WAH! Can't Covid just go away already?!" But you know you are all thinking it. It dominates my social feeds, my news, and even discussions with those I speak with. When I get gas - the threat looms. When I get groceries - the threat looms. When I walk the neighborhood - the threat looms! Don't touch anything. Don't touch your face. Stay 6 feet back. And if someone sneezes or coughs in public we're all panicking. I fully understand the dangers of the Covid-19. People are dying. ********** I'm angry. I'm frustrated. I'm disappointed. WHY? My life rests on depending on the idea that others will be responsible. And I have no faith that they will be. I don't like that I'm at the mercy of the masses - that in my eyes tend to mostly make bad decisions. How many don't wash their hands after using the restroom? Before eating? After changing a baby diaper? ...
People, life is going to change once we get to venture to the streets again. Is it for the better? I guess that's all individual perspective. ***************** I just received an email from my dentist. They are ensuring me that they will be updating their already stringent health and safety procedures. They already follow guidelines put forth from ADA, CDC and OSHA. But they are taking more measures to keep everyone in their office healthy. It's nice to get a reassuring note from a dentist I've trusted for almost 20 years. Here are just a few items that stuck out to me: --They'll be asking screening questions before you come in as well as when you arrive. They don't mention the exact ones yet would probably be fine telling me if I called. --They are putting hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE. --Their waiting room will no longer have magazines, children's books or toys. They are hard to clean. --They will be making appointments spread ...
