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.

El Paso Texas

White Knuckles! What a trip. We made our way from Deming NM to El Paso TX. The wind was blowing and the rain was falling. Mr. Toad (the Saturn) is so dirty but I am not going to bother to wash it until we get to Carlsbad. I was going to take the northern route through Cloudcroft NM which is over 8000 feet. The further north we got the worse the weather got. I knew it would be snowing at 8000 feet so I decided to turn around and head south. I thought I would take a chance with the wind rather than snow and ice. Why are we in Texas if we are headed for Carlsbad New Mexico? Well, the route we are taking takes us down into El Paso and back up into New Mexico. It is about 40 degrees here at noon with showers off and on. We are only here for one night but if the weather gets too bad we may hang out longer.
