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.

Kingman to Topock Arizona

Yesterday we were in Kingman for the second leg of the Route 66 Fun Run. There is no Verizon coverage in Kingman so I was unable to connect to the Internet. Go Figure, Seligman has Verizon but Kingman doesn’t. Today we are in Needles California. We are right across the Colorado River from Topock. Topock is where the Route 66 Fun Run ended today. They all took the old original Route 66 over the mountains to Oatman then back down to Topock. It isn’t advisable to take a motorhome such as ours over that route so we elected to take I-40 instead. I made reservations at the Moabi Regional Park for 2 nights, which is about the closest park to Topock. We pulled into the park at about 11:00a and checked in. They said there might be someone in our site still and they have until 1:00p to leave. Sure enough the site was occupied so we grabbed a parking spot, fired up the generator and kicked the air on since it was pushing 100 outside. Come around 1:00p the site was still occupied and there was no one around so I inquired in the office. Oh, that trailer was supposed to be moved to storage. So we waited 2 hours for nothing. By the time they got the site cleared and we got setup the Fun Run happenings in Topock were over. A little upset, and the fact that we are getting VERY marginal cell phone including Internet (1 bar), we decided to head out in the morning to Laughlin Nevada instead of staying here another night as planned.
