- A Job With No Mondays
What man or woman, working in corporate America, hasn't had the dream? The dream, to give it all up, tell the boss good-bye, and hit the road, free as a bird, in a recreational vehicle!
Loren Eyrich had that dream in 1987. The daydream evolved into an obsession, and finally became a reality. At age 42, after 19 years with America's largest auto dealer, he walked away from his position as comptroller, turning his back on the walnut desk, health insurance plan, company car, a staff of 40, and a generous salary, for a solitary life on the road in a tiny motorhome, called COW!
- "I now have a job with no Mondays!" declares the jubilant traveler. Deadlines and corporate bureaucracy are no longer a part of his life. Today, the 54-year-old bachelor explores America's backroads, searching for offbeat attractions, in the COW (Condo-On-Wheels); a 5th wheel trailer towed by a pickup truck with over 100,000 miles on the clock. Each year, Loren adds about 20,000 more, nearly all on backroads.

- "I live in the COW!" Loren jokes. "I'm on the road about six weeks at a time, four trips a year." At the end of each of these trips, Loren spends about six weeks at a home base, printing and mailing his quarterly magazine, Two-Lane Roads. A full-time RVer, Loren lives in the RV year round, on the road about half the year, and the other half at a RV resort park in Fort Lauderdale.
The paper is read by a small but loyal audience of readers. "We still have fewer than 10,000 subscribers." Loren winks. "My instant success has taken a few years longer than I anticipated."
