I wonder how many RV wannabees look at the pretty scenery on blogs and vlogs, and then flutter their eyelashes about "Living the Dream" someday? To their eyeballs, the RV lifestyle must seem like an escape from reality.
But it isn't. It might be an "alternative reality" in a "parallel universe," but it is not an escape from reality.
The most mordant illustration of this fact happens the third weekend of October in Utah. The kiddies get a school holiday on the same weekend that deer hunting season starts. Remember that red-state Utah is fond of guns, ATVs, and making babies.
This weekend always causes my heart to sink. The weather and scenery are perfect in Utah in October -- and a cynic would say that 'things that seem too good to be true, usually are.'
Actually, it would be better to say that things can be perfect, here and there, for a short while. And that is what happens until the third weekend in October. If you were considering visiting Moab this weekend, you'd better consider a Plan B.
