Author, outdoorsman, David N. Purkerson lived a rural life in his cabin on the western side of Mount Hood in Oregon. In 2006 Dave decided, "The mountain's getting too crowded." He downsized further to a 29' motorhome and went "on the loose." Since then, he and his wife/high school sweetheart have been continuous travelers seeking out the quiet corners of the Western United States, "If you want to find us, we'll be somewhere west of Nebraska."
