I Live In My Truck With My Dog And Travel Across The Country (Part 2)
My dog, Bobby, and I moved into my truck and left North Carolina 90+ days ago bound for Alaska. This is a follow-up post and end to the first chapter of our journey. We’ve driven thousands of miles, picked up hitchhikers, hiked into the wild, and discovered that we were doing more than wandering.
We’ve decided to stay for a few months to explore, make connections, and start planning the next journey. Winter is coming so we rented a room to base out of. My job is completely mobile and I work every day.
We’ve given up a lot to wander. We’ve found more.

I could work from almost anywhere, so I took my dog Bobby and drove to Alaska

I didn’t realize how much I connected with Chris’ story until we got Alaska.

I love this! I can work from anywhere I get an Internet connection so I've been thinking about planning a road trip for next year!
your pup loves it as much as you!! memories will last you a lifetime. beautiful photos.
Which reminds me, when I was hitch-hiking across Europe as a teenager I met a French lad sitting on a skateboard. He didn't get many lifts but his dog was happy to pull him along. :)

I immediately thought of Chris McCandless. Hope this guy does it smarter.
Damn, this post really makes me sad, not because your road trip but my life. I haven´t enough money to do it, neither I have time.
I would like to do some traveling in a van with my dog when I retire in eight months. I have an adventurous spirit which has not been allowed to roam free. After forty-six years in the classroom, 16 as a student and 30 as a teacher, I'm ready to ramble.
I hope you get to go ramble! Alaska is so cool, if you get a chance to drive up here...the drive is awesome!

I am so envious of you and the courage it took to do it and I can't think of a better traveling companion than Bobby.
Thanks so much! He's been fantastic!

Great journey and pics, unfortunately I felt differently about McCandless than most.
What is this wire, attached to the skin of the dog ? (Photo 14 from top to bottom)
I accidentally caught him when I was trying to learn to fly fish. He walked behind me and I couldn't see him. It didn't hurt him, but he looked at me like "Really, Dad?!"

I think you are both very lucky to have each other to do something as awesome as you are doing. Was that a fish hook in Bobby's side. Very happy story
Yeah...I was casting and he walked behind me...didn't even make a sound, just stood there and was like "Really Dad?"

What a lovely set of photos and such a splendid dog you have there! Good luck for the next phase and be safe :)
That vehicle would not be allowed on Australian roads and he should know better than to drive with a large dog on his lap. The photos are striking and I would love to swap locations with him. Smart dog too.
I m very impressed , hopefully i will enjoy this traveling life nin india raveling in groups is a great way to make new friends with similar passions and interests. There are lots of travel clubs and organizations that share a common interest and plan trips around the world with this unifying theme. Imagine sharing exciting experiences, taking awesome photos, & making memories with new travel buddies you will explore with for years to come!
