The Setup

Our History: After countless years in the corporate world, it's time to say the hell with it. It's a new year, and time to do some new things, so we are quitting our high paying, high tech, high stress jobs on January 31st, 2005.

Our Title: It's a combination of a midlife crisis and living cheaply. Yea, we're over 30, and dirt bagging is a term borrowed from the rock and mountain climbing hippies. Work a job, save up enough money and go live off that money in a low or no cost, minimalistic style. This life is generally frowned upon in today's materialistic society. It should be fun. I mean who doesn't enjoy a road trip? It's a total piece of americana.

Our Plan: Buy a good cheap travel trailer, and travel throughout the western United States going on 2-3 week road trips, come home for a while and then take off again. Yep, this is good white trash living @ it's finest.

Our Crew: Mr Dirtbagger, Mrs Dirtbagger, our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Kuri, aka KurDog, aka Missy, aka Brown Dog, aka Fish Sauce, aka Woo McGoo AND a fat black cat named Spookamo, aka Dorkmier, aka Dorkmeer, aka Hootie, aka Hootie Dootie, aka Jabba the Butt, aka Sphincter Boy, aka Buttmier.
