Yeah...there was a video of what she could possibly look like if she dyed her hair dark. She'd look considerably more dowdy and non-descript, that's for sure. As a blonde, she was kind of cute. With dark hair, she looks every bit her age, and maybe a little more. Although...that video was just a "she might look like this now" kind of thing.
One of the news videos says that they know they stopped at a hotel close by. I would guess that's where she would've dyed her hair, and they would've changed clothes.

I hadn't thought of the bolded. You're absolutely right.

I don't get why she pit i for her retirement at all. Surely she knew she was never seeing a dime of that money.

I mean, she could have put in for it, retired, and gotten it in a one-time payment that she then could have gotten in cash. So it seems something pushed the plan ahead or she just wasn't smart enough to think of that!

She definitely had a lot of juggling pins up in the air at the same time, to deal with, in terms of planning the whole thing. She may have dropped one.

Lots of it is 4-wheel-drive terrain though. Not really appropriate for your typical RV. We used to go car-camping on BLM land with our RAV4 SUV and even with all-wheel drive, lots of it is not doable without heavy duty 4WD.

And most of that land is FAR from....everything, lol.

Oh, I see! It sounded too good to be true, lol.

Some. But not all. People do this as a chosen lifestyle, so obviously it's doable... What's to stop her from buying a 4WD vehicle? People seem to be throwing up obstacles where they don't exist.

I know -- even though it was obviously planned out, there was a rushed aspect to it. She could have waited a few more weeks and sold her home for what it was worth instead of taking such a drastic cut for a quick sale.
