We arrived at Yosemite Lakes TT RV park on June 17th for six nights while we explore Yosemite National Park. Since Barry needed to be careful with his back, and we both needed to be respectful of the altitude and 100 degree heat, we decided we would do what we could, but we would not… Continue reading Yosemite National Park-Part 1

1st Trip to Los Algodones, Mexico
This morning Jimmy (pickleball Jimmy) and his wife Nancy took us with them to Los Algodones. The main reason was to meet their dentist, Jose. They have been going to him for several years and think the world of him. Nancy used to work in a dental office in the states and originally said, “There… Continue reading 1st Trip to Los Algodones, Mexico
Beach Time Before Desert Time
We have always enjoyed an occasional escape to Silver Strand State Beach. Since we had a lease site at Pio for a year we haven’t needed a week out every three weeks as we did before, so it has been over a year since we camped here. Barry really wanted to come here for a… Continue reading Beach Time Before Desert Time
Pickleball in Chula Vista!
A pickleball friend told me about a really nice park in the East Lake area of Chula Vista where there is good pickleball. Mackenzie Creek Park is amazing. It is a gorgeous Parks & Recreation park that is open to the public! There is a wonderful playground area, an extremely spacious basketball area, and nice… Continue reading Pickleball in Chula Vista!
Settled into New Site
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
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
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
