About four years ago, I was living in Las Vegas. Great apartment! Great palm-tree-lined pool! 20 minutes from the Strip! The shows! The food! The luxury suite hotel stays!So, I was running on the treadmill one morning (in the fully-equipped gym, overlooking the palm-tree-lined pool), when I had an ephipony. WTF am I doing here! That's when I decided to leave everything.I got out of my lease, moved up to Northern California, and lived by the side of a breathtaking River called Savage Rapids. T
