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
Spring and Covid-19
BAM–this Coronavirus thing that was in China, is now throughout the United States. It is a GLOBAL pandemic! Confirmed cases are growing exponentially causing governors to basically shut down their states to keep people socially distancing, and even to stay home, leaving only to tend to basic life needs of food and medical attention/prescriptions. These… Continue reading Spring and Covid-19
Fall 2020/Winter 2021 Decision Made
Our travel expenses the summer, fall and winter of 2019-2020 were fairly high, but we knew they would be with what we planned, including paying for a leased site at Pio Pico from July 2019 to July 2020. The lease site made each return to Pio stress free. It was nice to go directly to… Continue reading Fall 2020/Winter 2021 Decision Made

Orlando Thousand Trails Resort – 3 weeks Dec 2019
We decided to check out Florida for a winter this year. Well, at least the first part of the winter season – December 1 through mid-January. This trip is also the farthest we have gone to date with our motorhome. We were excited to see more states. We kicked off the first 3 weeks at… Continue reading Orlando Thousand Trails Resort – 3 weeks Dec 2019
Nov 22-24 We’re a Great Team
I am so glad that when we first thought about getting a motorhome we agreed that we would only get one if we BOTH were comfortable driving it. Not only are we both comfortable driving Vinny, we both enjoy it, so we share driving 50-50. This also allows us to have occasional days where we… Continue reading Nov 22-24 We’re a Great Team
Nov 18-20, 2019 Yuma/Tucson
NOV 18We’ve started out on our next travel adventure. First stop–YUMA. We stayed with our friends, Janet and Bob Bockus. How nice that they have room for us to park right at their place–and even plug into 50 amp electric! I walked over to Westwind RV to visit Bob and Denise Filiau. We met Bob… Continue reading Nov 18-20, 2019 Yuma/Tucson

We left Araby Acres Encore Park in Yuma at 8:15 am. on Friday the 13th. I drove today. It took us 4 hours 45 minutes to get to Verde Valley TT (no stops). The last 7 miles had 7 roundabouts!! I think that has to be a record for us! The park is spread out… Continue reading 9-14-19 Verde Valley TT
