Sometimes folks express dismay that I don't have a car. Others lament on the poor gas mileage my motorhome achieves. I've discovered America was designed for personal cars and copious gas consumption. Of course if one lives in a big city that offers mass transit, it's possible to get by without a private vehicle.
I am not fit for living in a concrete jungle. I need nature. In my past life I must have been either a native Indian or a wild animal or a mermaid. I crave fresh air, beautiful scenery and salty seas.
My life changed dramatically a few years ago. At first I was having a devil of a time adapting, then it clicked one day. Think outside the box. Think outside the car. Get on with life. Be happy!
So I have found a way to live without a car. Sure my motorhome is driveable, but I mostly only use it to relocate to another campground. I try to do my shopping stops along the way. Then when I get to the campground, I just settle in to soak up what I can see and do on foot and paw, sometimes on bicycle too.

Tree fungi is nature's avant garde sculpture.
The park ranger has whimsically placed a beacon of hope for the river enthusiasts.
The entrance to Colleton State Park in South Carolina. The freaky ice storm last winter knocked down over a hundred trees, closing the park for 6 weeks. In addition dozens of tree tops had to be trimmed to prevent falling hazards on the public. Most visitors would never notice the missing trees, but Harley and I have camped here often.
Departing campers decorated the recreation building with their donated potted flowers.
This mushroom is pretending to have dripping snow on the roof.
Nature is awesome.
