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.

Just not enough time



I told you things were a little tight around here. Good thing for the empty site across from us or it would have been a trick getting in here. So far the site has remained open so I can get out the same way I got in. You can tell by the photo that things are a little wet around here. It has really not been to bad. Just a off and on drizzle for a few days.

This is a photo of how it was when we got here. We had about 2 days of nice weather. The scenery of the snow on the mountains with the palms in the desert is awesome.

There is lots to see around here. This is a general store from the past. All this stuff is authentic from it's time and most containers still have it's original contents. Too bad we don't have more time. We have to be in Indio Monday to take a drivers training course for our volunteer tram driving jobs at the FMCA rally next week. I am sure we will be passing through here sometime in the future. Hopefully the weather will be better and we will have more time for sight seeing.



Tomorrow we will visit with some friends from back home that have relocated here in Palm Springs. We are looking forward to seeing them again. Then Monday morning it will be traveling day once again.
