We tend to avoid the party atmosphere with lots of loud outdoor activities, ATVs, overly enthusiastic groups and smoky campfires when we can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s no big deal either.  As a matter of fact, this is part of our goal on our year-long journey, to connect with people and places, to unveil the divine spirit in all, satisfaction in our own personal growth to then share with others and continue exploring this cycle on the trail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2223-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re already breaking stereotypes ourselves by traveling full time while not yet retired.

Still not many our age have built out a camper van yet alone from scratch, yet it has all of the comforts of home and built to last. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my friends in our past neighborhood even gave us the best compliment.
