Not trying to ruin the story for everyboedy else, don't read any further if you don't want the cliff notes.
He took a Grey hound back to ohio and got his bike and road it back to the keys in the rain and shit. Shortly after he got back most of the on site employees were told that they had 48hrs to leave the property. nothing that they did wrong, the owners were in financial trouble.
So he ends on geting his old job back in Pittsburgh (never really said what it was) but he did say that he might work a month and then not work for a month. So he lived in Ohio on his property where he had no electric, phone, running water, cell phone service, internet service. basicly hand nothing but a roof over his head and a pond close by.
I read all 53 pages. usually just skipped over everybody elses post and only read trooper dan's post. I figured that if somebdy had something important to say, he would address it or answer their question. and if need be I would go back and reread it.
It sound like everything was going great until he lost his job. He said that he sould of had more money in the bank (had almost 3k) but spent a lot when he was on vacation to Ohio. He wanted to save up and start travling again. wanted to try the same type of living out west. but things didn't work out for him and he is back where he started.
