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.

Laughlin River Run

This weekend is the 25th annual River Run in Laughlin Nevada. The River Run is similar to the Sturgis Motorcycle Run, on a smaller scale.

Well, if you want to call 70,000 bikes small. This is the same run where the Hells Angles got into a gun battle with another bike gang at the Harrahs Casino a couple of years ago. The entertainment includes bands such as Warrant, LA Guns, and ZZ Top, as well as other entertainment like The Bikini Bull Ride. We spent the whole day there Thursday looking through all the venders’ booths. Sure is a lot of nice merchandise.

It sure was hard to avoid bringing home a new toy.

I think Susan’s expression says, “I guess this means I don’t get a new motorhome?”

Actually the bike belongs to a friend of ours here in Havasu. He just took delivery of it a day before we headed over to the River Run.

He says he was glad he bought the bike before the rally because he sure wanted this Boss Hoss with it’s Viper V-10.

We can sit here at the resort and see (and hear) the bikes go by heading for Laughlin.
