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.

Big boats in town

There is a lot going on right now. Over in Laughlin they are hosting the Laughlin River Motorcycle Run. Here in town they are hosting a big boat show, poker run, and shootout.

Last night was the boat show. This is similar to a car show where they closed off the main street and lined it with boats. Now these aren’t just boats, these are BOATS!

We are talking BIG BUCKS here. These boats are pushing close to a million dollars and running thousands of horsepower. They get about 4 mpg and run race fuel at about $4.50 a gallon. They will easily burn $1,000 in fuel this weekend.

I think last night all of Lake Havasu was down town checking out the boats. Today there are about 200 boats in the poker run and tomorrow about 50 in the shootout to see who can reach top speed.

No these are not six packs of Bud Light, these are the two batteries for the boat.

    Hello

    You have got a nice blog. There is a problem though. I couldn't find any way to search your archive. It's annoying to manually go through several months. Please add a search box to the layout of your blog. Here is a link to a ordinary search box that you can add to your Blogger layout.

  2. Your right. I removed the search box at the top of the Blog a while back. I may add it back. Thanks for your comment.
