We moved into Site E-10 on June 16. Things worked out beautifully. The people left before 8 AM. Barry immediately put a lock on the electrical box. We proceeded to pull in our slides and I drove Vinny over to his new home. We got set up easily, and then brought over all our stuff… Continue reading Settled into New Site

Back at Pio
Pio Pico Thousand Trails in Jamul, CA “closed” back in March due to Covid-19. We were told by 3 different rangers and twice by Dave Dargie, the membership sales person, that we could not return to our lease site till the governor opens things up. On May 15, Pio “opened” back up! We were planning… Continue reading Back at Pio
Looking at Home Base Options: RV Lot vs Manufactured Home
I have been keeping a couple spread sheets regarding various places we have traveled the last couple years. I record areas we may want to consider as an RV home base or for when we are ready to transition to a more permanent location. I include the pros and cons while still fresh in our… Continue reading Looking at Home Base Options: RV Lot vs Manufactured Home
Living with Social Distancing & Staying at Home–RV style
Even with 100 degree temperatures for a couple weeks, we are managing pretty well here in Yuma. Our days begin with getting up about 6 am and having our Bullet Proof coffee. Then I’m off to play pickleball with a few others. Each person has been in the park here since at least March, and… Continue reading Living with Social Distancing & Staying at Home–RV style
Do We Stay? or Do We Go?
Erika hurt her back when she slipped on the stairs at their place. Within a few days Justin called us to see if we could come back to California to help Erika with the kids. A major plus of our full time nomadic lifestyle has been the flexibility to spend quality time with our grandkids… Continue reading Do We Stay? or Do We Go?
Heating Up In Yuma
March began as the month for us to visit Yuma and check out alternatives for us to consider as a future home base, but has turned into an extended stay due to Covid-19. Extending here at Fortuna De Oro (FDO) for the month of April was a no-brainer. The number of confirmed cases in Yuma… Continue reading Heating Up In Yuma
Addiction Prompts Creativity
When Covid-19 was becoming a concern in March, we started taking precautions playing pickleball within our RV resort. We kept in our separate groups of about 10 each with whom we rotated play. We had a bucket system for cleaning the balls after each game. There were at least two buckets. One with bleach water… Continue reading Addiction Prompts Creativity
Fun On The Water
Today, Barry and I took the kayaks back to Squaw Lake. It was just the two of us today since Paul & Sue are getting ready to start heading back to Idaho this weekend. What a gorgeous day. I actually expected to be the only ones out on the water, but saw several jet skis,… Continue reading Fun On The Water
Plan B: Telegraph Pass Hike
We went to Lake Martinez this morning to kayak with Sue & Paul Finney, but when we got there, we all agreed that the wind was a bit too much, especially for our kayaks. It was an interesting area. There were some incredible homes that bordered the lake, but that was it–the rest seemed quite… Continue reading Plan B: Telegraph Pass Hike
Social Distancing Kayaking @ Senator’s Wash
We went out kayaking again today with Paul and Sue Finney. We went to Senator’s Wash north of Yuma. It is on the other side of the road from Squaw Lake where we went last week. There is a dike that separates Senator’s Wash Reservoir from Squaw Lake and access to the Colorado River. It… Continue reading Social Distancing Kayaking @ Senator’s Wash
