(By the way, did you know that there was once a researcher with too much government grant money who determined that Kansas actually is flatter than a pancake?) When I was a kid in the early 60's my parents owned a 16 foot Mobil Scout travel trailer. We pulled that trailer all over the western United States and Canada with a 1962 Chevy with a 283 cubic inch engine and a three speed on the column. So I learned to love mountains and I learned to love traveling the wide open spaces of our great land. With that small trailer and the reliable Chevy, we never had any problems climbing or descending grades.

The printed versions of the Mountain Directory books had almost 240 pages of text and color relief maps. All 240 pages are in the downloadable versions of the Mountain Directory ebooks. Nothing is missing. In the printed versions, mountain pass locations were marked with a yellow triangle on the color relief maps. In the ebook versions, you can click on the yellow triangles and the text appears that describes that location.

What you have found is that you can't get anything you want! You called your resort and got no help there. You called II and all they said was to request more in advance.

WWOOF LATIN AMERICA Is a free Social Network for those interested in WWOOFing and volunteering in Latin America. Here you can link to the websites of the countries with WWOOF organizations in Latin America, and communicate with fellow WWOOFers. To WWOOF in Latin America, you need to join the WWOOF organization of each country you plan to visit, or join "WWOOF Independents" for the countries without their own WWOOF organization. Each country's WWOOF organization will either send you a list of farms or give you access to the list on-line so you can then contact the organic farms. Joining WWOOF Latin America is ree and it does not give you access to the farm lists of member countries, only to the Previews of their lists. To get the farm lists you will need to join each country's WWOOF organization. WWOOF Latin America is the website that links to all the national WWOOF organizations in Latin America and lets you communicate with fellow WWOOFers. Welcome to WWOOF Latin America! Farms listed in WWOOF organizations are part of a world-wide effort to promote the concept of organic farming, sustainable agriculture and responsible consumer habits. As part of this effort, host farms offer WWOOF members the opportunity to learn by doing. Listed farms will host WWOOF members free of charge. As a guest in a WWOOF farm your learning experience is based on you participating in the daily chores of running the farm. In doing so, you can learn a variety of techniques employed by member farms including organic farming, Permaculture and Biodynamics. In addition to learning about organic farming, you can also learn about the local ecology and culture while getting to meet fun and interesting people. Your daily chores at WWOOF farms may include harvesting, preparing soil for planting, milking, cleaning pens, digging trenches, maintaining fences and such; and generally involve about 5 to 7 hours per day, 5 to 6 days per week. Each farm has its own chores, rules and schedules. WWOOF organizations in Latin America are affiliated to the International WWOOF Association (www.wwoof.org and www.wwoofinternational.org) which promotes environmentally friendly farming and consumer habits by helping bridge the gap between consumers and environmentally-responsible farmers. WWOOF organizations compile and publish for their members a list of host farms in each country. Through their websites, you can contact the farms which you wish to visit and make the necessary arrangements for your stay.

Vanabode happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day

Imagine what you would do and where you would go if I PROMISED to show you how to live a complete life with all your needs met for $20 a day? Would you head to a national park like Yellowstone or Glacier and hike and photograph wildlife for a month? Would you relax a month away on Florida's pristine white powder sand beaches sipping cold Mojito's? Would you hit the tables in Vegas for some exciting gaming, outrageous pool parties, followed by a mind blowing world class show? Would you dine out every night for a week on the pier in San Francisco? Would you go hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, boating, surfing, skiing, or otherwise get off the grid and out of the grind for a month or two at a time?

My wife and I have been doing this for years. Now you can get 700,000+ miles of travel experience over the course of 18+ years in my new book entitled Vanabode - how to happily camp, travel and live forever on $20 a day.

In April 2011, I created my website How To Live In Hawaii to share my personal experience and first-hand knowledge of moving to Hawaii. Since then, I’ve researched and written over 100 articles for the site.

After a year of further research and writing, that guide now exists: My e-book Moving To Hawaii: A Step-By-Step Guide provides all the know-how you need to plan and execute your move to Hawaii, with over 250 pages of detailed instructions, tips, and links to online resources. The 30-step format guides you through the entire moving process and serves as an action plan to keep you moving forward toward you goal.
