TRAVELING FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO NEW MEXICO

TRAVELING FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO NEW MEXICO

A month ago I left South Carolina armed with a signed land purchase contract, my trusty dog Savannah, a newly acquired truck plus a 5th wheel, and my dream to create a working prototype of an off-grid community for homeless, low income, and retired veterans. On the way, I ran over a deer carcass that damaged my 5th wheel, got hit in the parking lot of Walmart, and the sellers real estate agent died, causing the seller to cancel the land purchase contract! However, I am not giving up! This mission is too important for our veterans and our planet. I have made an offer on two separate properties and headed back to Taos, NM January 1st.
