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.

Chipmunks

We are now in Gettysburg Pennsylvania and there are Chipmunks running around everywhere. I would get a picture but they won’t stand still long enough to take the picture. I know I have said it before but the houses we pass by while taking the country roads are amazing. I just can’t understand why they need such big houses. These have to be 4,000 sq ft with there 3 stories and most likely a basement. Susan says they remind her of the White House with there tall columns in front. These are set back from the road a couple hundred yards with manicures front lawns. Some are surrounded with corn or wheat fields. It should have only taken us about 2 hours to get here but we had to take a detour that added another half hour to our drive. Looks like we are headed for the mountains. We have been traveling along the coast lines since entering the gulf coast of Texas and barely got higher than sea level. Now we are turning inland and have run into some foothills. We are only at about 700 feet now but once we head toward Niagara Falls we will be heading over the Allegheny Mountains. Since we have been heading down the country roads, I don’t think I have had the coach over 55 MPH in a while, mostly 45. Probably good on gas mileage.
