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.

Calico Ghost Town


We are in Yermo at the Calico Ghost Town. They have a campground right at the Ghost Town. This is a stop over point on the way to Las Vegas (about half way). We intended on staying for 2 nights (2X2X2) but after setting up I noticed we were setup in a site that is reserved for tomorrow. Instead of moving we decided to visit the Ghost town today and move on down the road tomorrow. The campground is very rugged and it took me a while to find a site that was fairly level. As it is, I had to run one side of the motorhome up on blocks so the wheels wouldn’t be off the ground when I lower the levelers. We do have full hookups though. As I said, we visited the Ghost town today, which was created by Walter Knott, the creator of Knott’s Berry Farm. He donated it to the county many years ago. It is nowhere near as big a Knott’s Berry Farm. This is the setting of an old silver mine. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but it was on the way so here we are. If it weren’t for the bus loads of Japanese there wouldn’t be too many people here. Funny thing is, Our Verizon cell phone signal in marginal out here but my Verizon Aircard for the Internet has a good signal.
