Have you ever considered taking a long sabbatical to really explore what you want to be when you grow up?

In May of 2007, we couple did just that. After years of growing a small, web-based graphic design and large format printing business from our home in rural Humboldt County, CA, this husband and wife team of Jim Nelson and René Agredano began to yearn for a change in scenery. For almost two years, they planned and budgeted to take some time off, see the country, and figure out: what’s next?

After taking critical steps necessary to successfully sell our business, we sold our little enterprise in just six months! And we didn’t just sell our operation – we sold everything else too; our home and most of our possessions also went. Then, after more research, we purchased a top-of-the-line, four-season 24′ Arctic Fox fifth wheel trailer and a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 that we fuel up with biodiesel whenever possible.

In June, 2007, we packed up and began traveling around North America with our three-legged dog Jerry in search of the next big thing in the new mobile headquarters of Agreda Communications. As we criss-cross the country, we are sharing our road trip experience with others who dream of embarking upon a similar adventure someday.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with strings,
These are a few of my favorite things.

Coolest:

• Near Mexican Hat, Utah. A BLM spot along the San Juan River in a canyon, with few others around.


• Seedhouse campground in the Routt National Forest outside Steamboat Springs, CO.

Suckiest:
Any KOA, anywhere. OK, Devil's Tower was pretty cool. But ya gotta admit, most KOAs suck!
