We have a guy locally in a wheelchair who drives a semi.
And Muscle Mustang has run several articles on a woman road racing a very highly developed mustang.

Still alive and happily unemployed. In Vegas for the winter then I'll be hitting the road for the rest of the year. I just need to find a suitable van and scout out a route. Florida, up the east coast and back to BRC should be doable, hopefully without going bust at the poker tables.

try and remeber some of those things you wanted to do as a child but couldn't because you didnt have the cash, then gave up on/forgot as defaultia stripped your dreams away. Most of these suggestions are great but very adult do something stupid and childish the sort of thing that if you told your boss it was why you are leving the job he would laugh at you.
i love simons idea of travelling on an old honda 400/4 my ex girlfriends dad has one rotting away in his garage and it makes me weep to think of it slowly dieing of neglect

My childhood dreams were about seeing unexplored areas.

Amazingly, there still are some.
Just much harder to get to.

Read Gurdjieff's bit on travel.

Travel some of his routes, or Halliburton's.
Visit Mustang.

Watch Lost Horizon (1937).
Retrace the route.

With unlimited time and money, I would love to visit far off lands. Places that you would normally see in National Geographics. Other countries and cultures and explore all the unique things these places had to offer. I love to compare mindsets of people from other places to the people from my local area.

Many years ago, I wanted to visit BRC for the art and the amazing structures that were built there. I read that it was a place like no other. What I found was not only amazing "things", but some incredible souls who have turned into life long friends. I never thought that I would be meeting so many amazing people that I could make connections with. In my mind back then, I was thinking that I was going to see sights and objects to take photos of, and then head home---much like Disney World. What I found was a gather place of some of the most creative and fun minds on the planet.

With unlimited time and money, I would extend my trip to Black Rock City. "It's the funnest place on earth".

please disregard any innuendo as to the future of BRC and surrounding area becoming a year round artist community ala Jerome or Bisbee...

I'd buy Empire!! I'd live there and help burners down on there luck, with a roof over their heads. I'd reopen the Empire store. Plus I'd let artists use the acreage to build or assemble there projects. There'd be storaage places so people wouldn't have to trek in with a ton of stuff.

I can think of more, but I'd be writing an epic novel.
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

The title I picked seems to be confusing people. It was LIMITED money when I started out. Now it's closer to no money. Still lots of time, though - the abuse I'm putting my body through has yet to take a serious toll.
