Our New House

It was brought to my attention that we haven’t updated our Blog since 2013. Since we have become stagnant and haven’t really traveled for a while I didn’t have much of interest to post. Not that our life isn’t interesting, there just isn’t much RV Travel going on.

Well recently we have turned another page in our lives. We decided since we like our lifestyle so much that buying a house wasn’t in our plans. However we have pretty much outgrown the RV so…

We bought a Park Model home in the same resort where we have lived for the last 11 years in the motor home. If you are not familiar with a Park Model, it is a small 400 square foot manufactured home. Ours however is a bit more than a simple park model. First off ours is set in the ground so it is ground level, then a 200 square foot addition was added making it 600 square foot overall and the whole thing is stuccoed and the roof is tiled. There is also a 117 square foot building on the property, which serves as a laundry room and a shop. This building is attached to the house by a covered patio with outdoor kitchen. Along with the real residential appliances they topped it off with an air conditioner that can turn the house into a meat locker in the 120-degree Arizona summers. You can see more photos by clicking on the link in the left column.

I have added a link to the photos of our house HERE.

So, although we are keeping the motor home, it looks like we are not Fulltimers anymore.

Best wishes to all our readers and I hope your travels are as enjoyable as ours.

I will leave the Blog up because I know others enjoy reading about our travels.

Tombstone AZ

Today we visited Tombstone Az, site of the OK Corral shootout in 1881. We also visited Boothill, the cemetery where Clanton and the McLaurys are buried after being shot down at the OK Corral. This town is full of history from the days when the Eurps and Dr. Holliday ruled the town. The Bird Cage Theater was locked up for 50 years and nothing inside was touched. It is still in it's original condition complete with the original red velvet curtains covering the rooms where the ladies of the evening entertained their guests. The poker room below the stage is still in tact where the worlds longest poker game (8 years) took place. They will point out to you the numerous bullet holes throughout the theater where it got a little unruly at times. After visiting Tombstone we rented the movie Tombstone to see the story.

In the back of the Bird Cage Theater is the Hearst that carried every body buried at Boothill with the exception of 6. It is valued at 1 million dollars.
