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.

Storm Watch

OK, What gives. According to the weather forecast we are looking at a tornado watch ahead of us. I thought this was Spring. The weather is supposed to be nice. The good thing, it's heading northeast and we will be heading southeast. And there is a big high pressure coming up behind us. We still plan to move into Florida or eastern Alabama tomorrow in spite of the weather. We woke this morning to some rain. When we headed out to tour, the sky over the gulf looked pretty scary. We pulled into a visitors center to get some info and when we came out there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Strangest thing I ever did see. The rest of the day was beautiful.
Well we are looking at another sleepless night tonight. Take a close look at the picture above. Yes, that is a train right outside my windshield (behind the trailer). We are camped right next to the tracks. Not only that but there are 2 sets of tracks. What this means is, this is the area where one train will pull over to let the oncoming train go by. Imagine the sound in the middle of the night of a train putting on the brakes and all the cars banging up together, then the other train going by, then the stopped train pulling out with all it's cars clanging apart. Oh Yeah, since we are also right next to a cross road, they lay on the whistle. This went on pretty much all last night. You can actually feel the motorhome shake just like a good ol' California earthquake.
