I said, "Whoa-whoa.
Let's go back to day one".
I guess stubbornness
probably has a lot to do with it.
I do a lot of travelling.
I've been all over the United States.
Over the years, you know.
In between marriages.
And, er... if I can't have a good day,
and I haven't had a bad day
out here on the road.
No matter whether it's raining on me,
I'm soaking wet or freezing
or hot and sweating, I've never
had a bad day out on the road.
HE LAUGHS:
'I rode with Shelton for 400 miles.
'He took a nap in the back
'and woke up when we arrived
in El Paso, Texas. '
Go down...
OK. See them towers...?
Is that church steeples on the left
over there?
No. No. No.
Yeah. That way,
we won't be in front.
Come on out.
'He's here to collect
a government cheque,
'and then he's going 300 miles
across Texas
temporary work there.
'He's a drifter, essentially.
'A loner with chronic wanderlust.
'I'll give you my definition
of a nomad
'which I stole from
a French philosopher.
'A nomad is someone who doesn't feel
stable when stationary.
when experiencing velocity.
'Some of them go alone,
like Shelton,
'others move around in tribes.
'And the biggest
tribe of nomads in America today,
'perhaps unexpectedly,
are elderly and affluent.
'They travel around
in huge motorhomes,
'also known as
recreational vehicles or RVs.
'Every winter,
tens of thousands of RV-ers
'converge on the small town
of Quartzsite, Arizona.
with plug-in electricity,
'water and cable television,
'and a huge expanse of surrounding
desert where the more intrepid
'can camp for free. '
OK, we're looking for the desert
encampment of RV clubs.
They tend to all camp together
and live quite a regimented life
while they're out here
in the desert.
In particular, we're looking
for those club members
that do this full-time.
People who've sold their houses,
said goodbye to their children
and grandchildren and are now living
this nomadic retirement.
It is an odd thing,
I'm getting a bit of a glint
on the roofs here.
I think they should be down here
to the left somewhere.
There's a lot of desert here and
they spread themselves far and wide.
Scapee's RV Club Boondockers. That
sounds like a good place to start.
Boondocking is the RV-ing term
for camping without being hooked up
to electricity,
water and sewage lines.
The guys who are full-timers
tend to do more boondocking
than the part-timers.
Hi there. Hi. Are you
all the boondockers?
Are you the boondockers?
Yeah, this is the fire circle.
We're just over here
visiting for the night.
OK, this is their fire circle. Yeah.
