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.

Altoona Iowa

We woke up this morning to Dennis. The rains from Hurricane Dennis started about midnight. It was only a gentle rain but steady. It wasn’t until a few miles down the road that we finally broke out and the sky lightened up and the rain stopped. Then is started getting hot again. I decided since we left at 9:00a that we could drive a little further today. What a mistake. I think if it were some nice country roads it wouldn’t be so bad but there was no good way to get here than to take the Interstate. Putting up with trucks whizzing past at 70 MPH and bad roads for over 4 hours just doesn’t work. We stopped for gas and lunch and got here by 2:00p. This is just too long on the road. We don’t have to be in such a hurry. We are now at a park called Adventureland, which is between an amusement park and a casino in a town called Altoona, which is just out of Des Moines, the capitol of Iowa. This is just another overnighter. Oh, by the way, we passed 2 mile stones today. We crossed the Mississippi river heading west and the motorhome turned 10000 miles.
