Pools Are Closed – Surviving Yuma Heat

Now that we have extended our stay in Yuma at Fortuna De Oro for the month of April, and realize we are likely to remain for the month of May as well, surviving the upcoming heat became a concern. Typically we would “live” at one of the resort pools, but they are closed due to… Continue reading Pools Are Closed – Surviving Yuma Heat

Covid-19 Stay at Home Order Affects Fortuna De Oro

We got the word Tuesday, March 31 late afternoon that all the outdoor equipment for PICKLEBALL, bocce ball, and shuffleboard was just taken from the sports complex areas, and put into storage. WHAT!?!? We were doing so well by playing only with the same small group of people and we were disinfecting the balls after… Continue reading Covid-19 Stay at Home Order Affects Fortuna De Oro

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.

Fall 2020/Winter 2021 Decision Made

11 pickleball courts! 4 Advance Play; 4 Intermediate; 3 Beginner

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.

Voyager Encore Resort Visit January 2020

We liked what Voyager Encore RV Resort had to offer when we came for 2 nights back in November, but the weather wasn’t conducive to much time outside. Nor were activities in full swing yet–especially pickleball! Therefore, we decided to stop by for two more nights on our return trip to the San Diego area.… Continue reading Voyager Encore Resort Visit January 2020

Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk

We stayed two nights at Braunig Lake RV Park off exit 130 on Route 37. We used our Passport America card to make it only $25 each night for full hookups with 50 amp power. It was a decent park for this type of stay, and only about 12 miles from The Alamo and River… Continue reading Visit to The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk
