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.

We are staying at Yogi Bears Jellystone Campground while here at Lake Charles. This place is nice. They have a good size (very clear) lake and lots of planned activities for the kids. When we pulled in on Thursday it was pretty empty but Friday afternoon it started to fill up. There is an old guy they call Pop that runs around in a golf cart and parks rigs. He looks to be pushing about 90 years old. He sure was busy Friday. We decided to stay through the weekend and leave Monday. That's kind of our policy to not travel on the weekends.
We took a drive around town to see what's happening around here. We visited their alligator Pond to see some alligators. They had about 6 small guys in the pond and a bunch of what are known as alligator snapping turtles. It appears that gambling is legal here because there are a few casinos at the lake. They all are aboard paddle wheel boats that are permanently moored. After talking with one of the security guys, I learned that they used to have to take the boats out every 3 hours. This posed a problem because a lot of people didn't want to go out so they where loosing customers. The casinos finally convinced the state to allow them to stay moored. They sure got some nice homes around the lake. Big plantation style homes with lots of land around them.
