So.

I don’t live in a van anymore. I don’t travel the country stripping anymore, tho I might when I run out of money.

When I started this blog I think I felt like my experiences were significant. I’m not really sure, because I don’t feel that way anymore. I mean, my experiences are significant to me, and maybe a little to the people around me, but I think the further they go the less they matter. Most of my experiences at the moment are tied to this land that I’m falling in love with, and I think it would be kind of creepy to tell the whole wide internetz all about that.

Go outside. Fall in love with the dirt under your feet. Why should I write to you about the dirt here (it is lovely and varied) when you aren’t here? Read things by people who share your dirt, or just listen to the dirt.

I used to feel this actual physical anxiety, that so many beautiful moments were passing without being written down. It was imperative that I record all those little moments before they faded from memory. I don’t feel like that anymore (which could be a good thing or a bad thing, I guess, depending on how you look at it).

To sum it all up:

I won’t be blogging here anymore.

I’ll maybe probably be starting a naked-Tara-in-the-woods website so I can make money without coming to town.

I might possibly start another blog. One of those boring ones that I update once or twice a week about how much wood I chopped or the otters teasing Bro.

I’ll probably be putting together a chapbook or two of poems and stories. I might write a book, but I don’t really feel like it right now.

If you want to hear about any of that (all of it, actually), put your email address in below to get an email when it happens (no spam, I promise).

    Evolution!
    I really enjoyed reading about your hobostripper adventures, I will miss that.
    Congrat’s on the new place! Sounds idyllic. :)

  • 2 jack // Oct 5, 2008 at 5:45 am

    S.H.I.T.! From a purely selfish perspective I am totally bummed. But i am actually happy for you. This part of your life is over. The question is whether and to what extent you will let us in on the next part.

    Good luck!

    Dear Tara,

    I won’t say that I am not a little sad that I won’t be able to read about your adventures (because that would be a lie!), but I am happy for you.

    Best of luck living in the bush, and have fun living as every Greenwoman should :smile:

  • 4 suzanna // Oct 5, 2008 at 6:59 am

    I will miss reading about your adventures.

    Tons of luck!

  • 5 Mark // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:10 am

    I really enjoyed reading each and every post.

    You are a very good writer, but more importantly you seem to be “self actualized” from what little I’ve read of your adventures, which makes you super interesting from my perspective.

    Sometimes it’s best to leave a field fallow for a year or two.

    I predict that once your settled into your cool and groovy life in Alaska the writing bug will sneak up on you. If that happens I would love to be the first to buy whatever fiction or non-fiction strikes your fancy.

    Good luck out there…and take care of yourself.

    Mark

  • 6 carrot quinn // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:13 am

    Um, I think you already wrote a book. Also, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Why does this make me so sad? I have no idea.

  • 7 Fifty-One-Fifty // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:20 am

    This is an excellent blog you have developed here, and it’s a shame that you are ending it, but as they say, all good things must come to an end.

  • 8 TWM // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:32 am

    I found your site a couple of years ago when I first got interested in blogs and started reading. I didn’t read every entry but I was fascinated by the complex and interesting character you are and those you described. Maybe there is a novel in there or something else. Keep writing, keep making money and give us the option of following you, when you do. Good Luck!

  • 9 Mags // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:45 am

    Thanks Tara for doing this blog !!

    Its been like a little addiction, checking in everyday to see whats new in your adventures. Keep things going, and I look forward to your new life and what comes out of that. I’m on an old hobbyfarm in the bush as well, so would sure relate to your new experiences as well. Again, thanks, and have fun in the new place !!

  • 10 Dusty Luker // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:51 am

    No truer word ever spoken or writen then “To thy own self be true”! So lovely Miss Tara may life grant you all your dreams and may your land fill your heart with a happy song.

  • 11 Sequoia // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:54 am

    If you need any advice on a “Naked Tara” website and or photographer let me know I’d be thrilled to help!

    I don’t see a kiss emoticon here, so xxx!

  • 12 Nina // Oct 5, 2008 at 7:55 am

    I will miss reading about you. You really made me me think about things from another perspective. Good luck, and I hope you enjoy your new dirt!!

  • 13 lydia // Oct 5, 2008 at 8:19 am

    oh tara, how i’ve loved this blog, but mostly i love YOU. i think your timing is sadly perfect, and i wish you deep, meaningful, joyful adventures.

  • 14 Chris H. // Oct 5, 2008 at 8:42 am

    Thanks for so much information and inspiration when I was considering living in Truck House. It was a big deal for me. The first post I read was about your interaction with “Susie Smith, Jimmy’s mom.” You mentioned learning social rules in PA, and went right into telling her you lived in a van. I loved it. I hit refresh about an hour later, and you’d already posted “Five below and all’s well in the vanhold.” After that, I read the whole book. You’re cool.

  • 15 rubevigor // Oct 5, 2008 at 8:44 am

    wow. i think i can understand this, as it seems like the same road i’ll be going down sometime – once i find it (and have the means to linger there). change is still kind of sad though… i’m looking forward to anything you decide to share in the future, conceived upon your new soil!

  • 16 emma // Oct 5, 2008 at 9:15 am

    Oh dear… I’ve missed the bus/van…
    I came here from Jack to see what it is he will miss, but I’ve missed it!
    Well whatever journey you are taking next Tara, I do hope it makes you happy… it’s a shame I didn’t drop by before, looking back over your archives, it seems I should have got here sooner… May your new dreams all come true…
    Good luck x

  • 17 Celtic Gypsy Woman // Oct 5, 2008 at 9:19 am

    I will greatly miss readying your blog…I come here regularly to ready of your adventures, and would love it if you created a blog of your homestead adventures!

  • 18 Kate Saltfleet // Oct 5, 2008 at 9:58 am

    Looks like I’ve got to the party too late! I discover this blog to find that it’s over.

    Never mind, all the best for your post-hobo-stripper adventures!

    Kate

  • 19 sk // Oct 5, 2008 at 10:31 am

    Best of luck to you, Tara. Thank you for sharing your stories with us.

    I’ll miss you.

  • 20 Albiana // Oct 5, 2008 at 10:45 am

    I’m a newer reader, but I did go back through all your older posts and have enjoyed the vicarious journey.

    And that is indeed what it has been —an overview of your unique, insightful, sometimes heated yet always moving, journey.

    Thank you for allowing a few unseen faces to tag along with you on your adventures, to plumb the depths of your heart and head in the multitude of ways you have chosen to share, entertain and enlighten.

    Whereever you go next I’m sure will be just as heartbreakingly beautiful and meaningful. Maybe, you’ll feel moved to invite tag-a-longs or maybe you won’t. Either way, all the best to you and Bro.

  • 21 Eli // Oct 5, 2008 at 11:24 am

    Good luck T…
    you should start a ‘land blog’..talking about how you develop your land, etc..

  • 22 Christine // Oct 5, 2008 at 1:00 pm

    I’m sad that you won’t be hobostripper any more, because you changed the way I think about nature and female sexuality. You encouraged me to make the most of my life, of my body, and of the wind in my hair and the dirt under my feet, all without ever having to even speak to me.

    I wish you all the best and all the happiness in the world at this new stage of your life, and hope you will always be happy.

    It’s been great, thanks for sharing.

  • 23 Celtic Gypsy Woman // Oct 5, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    Hey Tara,

    I have so enjoyed reading your blog here and will miss hearing about your updates and adventures…I would love it if you would continue sharing your land adventures through a land blog :) or alternative living / homesteading blog!

  • 24 Hypatia // Oct 5, 2008 at 1:17 pm

    You will be missed. Thank you for giving us this window into your life. Go in peace, and have a life filled with every joy.

  • 25 Urban Vandweller // Oct 5, 2008 at 1:33 pm

    I’ve appreciated your writing, opinions and perspective. I think you should write a book.

    Happy trails, Urban Vandweller

  • 26 Noyesy // Oct 5, 2008 at 2:31 pm

    my deep and already entrenched love of the land under my feet is enhanced by what you write about the land under yours. you’re a great writer and your opinions of the world are valued – stripping, farming, boating or vibeing- whatever you choose to do or write about you bring a refreshing voice to the chorus.

    i look forward to whatever’s next for you and do hope you’ll share, its been fun, inspiring and totally entertaining to read your goods….

    I count you in the change i’d like to see in the world (to liberally paraphrase such a great quote).

    Thanks. Really.

  • 27 Cecelia // Oct 5, 2008 at 2:43 pm

    Settlin’ down on the land, eh?! Your ramblin’ days are over?! I kind of feel like my ramblin’ and wanderer days could be over… but I am not going to assume anything yet.

    Aw, I loved reading your blog although I found it a bit later than I would of wanted to.

    Tara, I do hope you start a new blog! I may send you an email soon!

  • 28 Kayla // Oct 5, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    Brava! It takes a strong writer to know when to end a story, and I think you’ve come to the end of the HoboStripper chronicles. Best of luck in the WomanoftheLand chronicles as they unfold :) I’m looking forward to any writing or blogging you do end up doing.

    One question, though, you will be leaving the archives up, right? It would be a real shame if you were to take them down, the writing is so wonderful and true, and the advice you give on sex work, herbs, van living, and everything in between is invaluable.

  • 29 Daisy Loveless // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:00 pm

    awww… well… alright… i guess it just means that, like, i actually need to put -effort- into keeping in touch with you then.

    ;)

    how do you feel about homemade postcards?

  • 30 Rob // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:11 pm

    Tara, I will miss your writing, and I do hope you start the naked tara as well as any other ideas that strike your fancy. Your personality shines through in everything you write, and it’s simply fascinating. I too would love to see a web site or blog about your land, and your cabin. And if you need any help with anything, don’t hesitate to ask, as we are all in this world together.

  • 31 db // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:31 pm

    I’ve never commented before, but I’ve been reading your blog for a while and I want to just say thank you for the things you’ve written. Less Tara words are a loss to the internet! Your thoughts have impressed me, startled me, taught me, frightened me, and given me things to think about. And that’s just what good writing should do.

    Best of luck and blessings to you, whatever the future brings!

  • 32 Rob // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:35 pm

    Tara, I will miss your writing. I do hope you do the Tara naked in the woods site, as that sounds like it would be a fun site to see. I also second the idea for a blog about your cabin and land.
    Your personality really shines through in your writing, and reading this blog has been an adventure. I hope to hear more from you in the future, and good luck with your cabin.

  • 33 darcey // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:46 pm

    Ah, I remember when you were designing the picture at the top of the blog at my house in Boulder after we returned from camping in the snow in New Mexico, and my computer was fried. It’s been a wonderful read and adventure. Being on your land is the right thing to do! I look forward to hearing about your deeping connection and love with your home! And coming to visit!
    Congrats!

  • 34 Outis // Oct 5, 2008 at 3:50 pm

    Tara:

    Darn! Just when I was screwing up my courage to ask you to join me in a team effort to save the world in 2019….

    I have enjoyed your writing so much. Thank you for all of the effort that you have put into your blog.

    Good luck
    Bright blessings

  • 35 Sakura // Oct 5, 2008 at 5:14 pm

    So sad to see you go, but all best wishes for everything you do.

    I’ve subscribed :grin:

  • 36 HoboStripper // Oct 5, 2008 at 5:38 pm

    Wow, thanks for all the niceness, everyone.
    The archives are definitely staying up, and once I do something else there’ll be a link to it, and stuff.
    I want to keep in touch with everybody! Email me! Now that I don’t have to write something every day I look forward to being better at keeping up with email.

  • 37 Steelheart // Oct 5, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    I understand about moving on with your life and this is a logical progression for you.

    But I can see you getting wanderlust again in the future and hitting the road. You’d just have a home base to work from.

  • 38 Susan // Oct 5, 2008 at 8:58 pm

    You’re fabulous, and I look forward to the many fabulous things you do in the future.

  • 39 Jenn // Oct 5, 2008 at 9:34 pm

    I love your blog so much, it really makes me sad that you’re ending it. But I’m also really happy for you to hear that you’re falling in love with your land! Best of luck to you!!!

  • 40 LauraAnn // Oct 5, 2008 at 10:49 pm

    It sounds like you’ve actualized a dream, and I am very happy.

    Thank you for sharing your journey. And good luck in everything you do!

  • 41 liz // Oct 5, 2008 at 10:59 pm

    Another new person to your blog. I found you a few months ago as I was searching camping and self sustainability/off the grid.

    It didnt take long till I was often checking it for updates. Your mechanic, herbal wisdom, work ethics…there is so much in your blog that is, simply put, priceless.

    I love your writing style, the post about your step dad waiting for you by the river had me on the edge of my seat.

    I congratulate you on making your dream come true and agree with other sentiments, I would welcome your land adventures.

    I hope someday to live completely off the grid, you are my hero.

    Most grateful for the wisdom and word.
    signing up!

    Tara – Thanks again for the rich stories and insights you brought to my world with this blog. It was indeed meaningful, daring, and an unusual gift to many. I’m so excited for this next chapter of your life – I identify so much with wanting a quiet connection to the land/nature. I hope we meet again – with dulcimers in hand! :-) Enjoy the crunch of leaves and frost under your feet, Love, Esther

  • 43 Joanna // Oct 6, 2008 at 12:32 am

    Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you. Have fun living in the woods!

    You write well, and I really enjoyed checking every few days to see what new story or adventure you’d written about.

    Farewell.

  • 44 shinywhitebus // Oct 6, 2008 at 12:54 am

    Pleased you’ve found a place – enjoy it and good luck with however that goes.

    Once got writing in your blood I’m sure it will have to come out again somehow. Look forward to that.

    All the best for the future. And if you decide to write anything again, I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading that too!

    I have so enjoyed reading about things from your perspective, thank you for writing this blog, and good luck with your new adventures.

    I’m going for a walk to feel the dirt under me now…

  • 49 Julie // Oct 6, 2008 at 6:12 am

    I’ve loved reading your blog and getting a new perspective on things. Thank you for all your time writing and good luck!

    I’ll miss your writing here. I wish you happiness in whatever you do!

  • 51 easylowdown // Oct 6, 2008 at 7:53 am

    Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world. Your writing has inspired me, and many others I’m sure, to go forth and discover this world, not to fear change, that magic lies hidden in many places along the road and that it’s our loss, the death of our spirit, if we don’t look.

  • 52 wyatt // Oct 6, 2008 at 8:33 am

    speed safely Tara !

  • 53 woolfey // Oct 6, 2008 at 8:42 am

    Tara.. Thanks for the time you were able to spend with those of who enjoyed your writing. It was exciting to hear that you have a place of your own now , and in a place I have always wanted to visit!!
    Like someone wrote before, If you do decide to do some more traveling, you do have a base to work from.. That is the way Louie Milly and I did it … We always had the stuff that possessed us in storage, paring it down by selling and scrapping, and wanted to believe that we had a place to land if it was necessary. Good luck on your land project, and I”m hoping to hear more from ewe…

  • 54 hara // Oct 6, 2008 at 9:41 am

    Hey Tara,

    I hope you’ll keep on writing. OK, not here exactly, but please keep on. Your writing is a phenom. Whether it’s about your time on the road and in the clubs or looking at a particularly beautiful mound of bear poop!
    Into the woods or by the river, or in a Walmart parking lot-
    it’s your voice that is appreciated.

    You know how important I think that is.

    blessed be

  • 55 lindy among the oaks // Oct 6, 2008 at 10:05 am

  • 56 Daniel // Oct 6, 2008 at 10:15 am

    Tara,

    You’re a great writer, and fun to keep up with. Whatever you’re doing and choose to write about will be a good read.

  • 57 Nora // Oct 6, 2008 at 11:06 am

    Oh, I will miss your blog posts, and I hope we haven’t heard the last from you. Good luck and have fun!

  • 58 robin // Oct 6, 2008 at 12:10 pm

    I can’t help but be sad. I just discovered you and your writing.

  • 59 Anna // Oct 6, 2008 at 12:54 pm

    I am really sad about this. I loved your writing and you telling us about your experiences and Bro and the woods and, and, and…

    I understand what you’re going through on the other hand, so I’m happy for you in a way. All I know is I will miss your writing and your wit. I liked learning about your unusual life, something I would never have been able to do without the magic of the internet and your style, which is gripping.

    Anyway, I wish you good luck on your future adventures and loves and I hope, hope, hope there will be another blog by you. Godspeed, Tara. Or rather: goddess-speed :)

    Anna

  • 60 Carolyn // Oct 6, 2008 at 2:50 pm

    I also followed you here from Van Dwellers. I looked forward to reading your blog every day. I was disapponted when you didn’t update!

    NOW… you’re leaving! I can’t believe the emotion when I saw Finis! I thought immediately… no … she can’t mean ending this blog!

    I have enjoyed reading your blog for a long time and will miss it. I’m so glad you’re leaving the archives. I’m trying to make the decision to buy me some dirt…

    Thanks, Tara… I think you are amazing! I hope you do the blog on your land adventure. I love reading about Bro and the otters and your Mom and anything else you write.

    Carolyn

  • 61 Richard // Oct 6, 2008 at 4:00 pm

    Sounds like you’re gong thru changes. I admire your spirit. I also have enjoyed your stories. This is quite a time to be living. Some people say the World is dividing. You can take the meaning of this in a number of ways.

    Enjoy and connect with land.

  • 62 Honey // Oct 6, 2008 at 4:29 pm

    I will miss your writings very much, and I hope you’ll consider leaving your archives up, at least for a while.

    I don’t know if you feel brave, but I find myself wanting to be braver having read your stories. Thanks so much. Sincerely.

    Please let me know what you’re up to! And enjoy your dirt!!
    xo,
    Honey

  • 63 annemarie // Oct 6, 2008 at 5:18 pm

    dear tara,

    thank you so much for all the writing you have given us so far. i have loved reading hobo stripper not only because your experiences are unique and fascinating and (yes) significant, but also because you record them so elegantly and deeply! i can’t wait for the stories and the chapbooks, good luck on the land.

    p.s. thanks for your great blogroll, too….

  • 64 kalaska // Oct 6, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    Tara,

    I have loved your blog ever since discovering it. Checking in each day was a pleasure. We never knew ahead of time where you would take us, but it was always worth the trip.

    As a fellow Alaskan in love with the land I am so happy that you have found a place to make your heart’s home. I’ll be thinking of you through the long interior winter.

    Best wishes, and thanks for the gift of all you have shared with us. Now I will go somewhere private and shed a tear.

    Kalaska

  • 67 Michele // Oct 6, 2008 at 8:46 pm

    This blog was beautiful. I’ve been reading you for a while now, and you’ve been one of my guides on how to live deeply and well. You’ve been a kindred spirit, even though we’ve never met. All the best in your new adventures. Thank you for the gift!

  • 68 Iscah // Oct 7, 2008 at 6:05 am

    I’ve enjoyed your blog and your perspective, which was very different and new for me in some ways, and so similar in others. I wish you the best of all things on your path. Thanks for writing for the rest of us. (Will the blog go away?)

  • 69 Mark // Oct 7, 2008 at 7:20 am

    Things change, so do people and looking forward to what is coming next.

    i am so friggin’ happy about your land, though!

  • 71 Viviane // Oct 7, 2008 at 8:06 am

    I tried to enter my email and it didn’t work. You have another way to get a hold of me, though.

  • 76 Anthony // Oct 7, 2008 at 2:25 pm

    I’m certainly going to miss reading about your adventures, Tara, and I hope that you do decide to continue writing about your thoughts in the future.

    You might think about planting some of the herbs and such that you have talked about over the years, on your property, come spring, and bringing them in, packed or fresh, for those of us that aren’t living a life like yours. It might make a little supplemental income.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

  • 77 Peridot // Oct 7, 2008 at 7:40 pm

    While I hate to see another fellow sex worker blog say goodbye, I do wish you the best in all your nakedness in the woods. :-)

  • 78 Enuja // Oct 7, 2008 at 8:55 pm

    I will miss this blog! It had a wonderful name, wonderful content, and had to end when you got your homestead. Happy land loving, and I wish you all the possible good future and good writing!

    Tara thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in such an amazingly entertaining and enlightened manner. So much light has been received from your writings. Blessings upon both you and Bro and the land you now call home. May we meet in person someday, in this universe or the next.

    Best of luck – and thanks for the great writing. Dirt is lovely isn’t it?

    I love that so much that I wrote it on the back door of my bus above “Emergency Exit” :)

    Bye, Tara. It’s a wonderful blog. Knowing when to stop is it’s own skill. Congratulations on everything you’ve been and done. There are so many exciting things in front of you, and it will be awesome if you decide to share those with us. If not, good luck with everything!

    Best of luck to you, sweetheart. I’ve enjoyed reading about your exploits.

    As a longtime reader & e-friend, Tara, I respect your call on this. Go out on top (so to speak – given the dominatrix role you play so often, there’s so much double meaning to be enjoyed in this comment :oops: ) I’m a stripper-exboyfriend myself, so reading your takes on all things naked, herbal, and literary hit home for me. HATma being so dear to me as well, and us having spoken a few times, Tara, I know our paths will cross one day. World’s too small to keep us apart, methinks.

    God bless you, sister. You are a genuine femme-being in a world of Stepford-broads.

    Peace ~ Irish

    You’re a huge inspiration, and I have really enjoyed your blog! Best of luck with life in the woods.

    Your blogs have always been good reading and full of wisdom, I am sad to see this one ending! I know something else great is beginning for you, I wish you the best Tara!

    Your expiriences have been very relevant and important to me Tara. We’ve never met. I’ve never commented on your blog.

    Who am I? The guy who always yearned for something more out of life…or maybe less out of life. Just a guy who goes to work every day and earns a decent living. But always felt constrained by leading the life I do. And I never really realized I had an option.

    After reading your blog for a while, I realized I DO have an option. And it has changed my life.

    Tara, I am delighted your falling in love and while I will miss your blog I’m glad you’ve found more meaningful things.

    But know your words and expiriencs have great meaning.

    And thanks.

    Another one to say many thanks for the great writing and best wishes for the next stage of your journey.

    Oh no! But good for you.

    I keep falling behind on my sex worker blogs because I can’t read them from work and I STILL haven’t graduated to blog-readers/feeds.

    I will miss your beautiful writing. Please keep in touch, in some shape, way or form. I truly admire and adore you.

    have fun sister girlfriend. You are one great writer.

  • 92 MsKittyFantastico // Nov 7, 2008 at 1:08 pm

    First time that I’m commenting. I like your blog. I’m sad that you aren’t writing anymore. I really enjoyed your experiences. Thank you so much for sharing them! :mrgreen:

    Dirt for sand; I’m learning to live with sand underfoot–and I thank you for inspiration.

    The offer of oranges is still good.

    Cheers,

    Wow! I JUST found your blog TONIGHT and it’s great. I’m kind of sad that you won’t be continuing it, because I love to read about other people’s insights and adventures, but good for you. I’m glad you are happy. Feel free to read my journal if you like, so I’m not just some random creepy internet person to you. universal-freak.livejournal.com. Have a great evening and I’ll probably read more of your blog later! ^_^
