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.

Crossing the Mississippi


Click on photo to enlarge

We crossed the Mississippi today. We are in Baton Rough Louisiana. We will be crossing the Mississippi again on our way to New Orleans and again leaving New Orleans. We are only going to be here for 1 night then off to N'Orleans. We were going to stay at a Walmart here but it looked a bit scary. We are at an RV park and horse Activity center right next to the Mississippi. I can sit in my recliner and gaze out the window at the horses in the pasture next to camp. At our back over the levee is the Mississippi. I hate reservations. If we hadn't made reservations in New Orleans we would stay here a couple of days.
The drive here was interesting. We drove over an 18 mile long bridge. You might ask why the bridge was so long? It takes you over 18 miles of swamp land. The bridge was only about 50 feet off the water the whole way. This is the only way they could put a road through here. We kept an eye out for gators along the way but didn't see any. I am sure we will see plenty at our next stop in New Orleans.
