We arrived at Carefree Village Resort in Yuma, AZ about 5:30 pm on September 25. We got set up easily in #34, a north facing site. . Ah–it feels good to be here!

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
Maintenance Service: Frustrated With Incompetence
No one likes paying for routine maintenance on a car let alone on a big RV, but it is a necessity to have a “well-oiled machine”.

I was on my own to make… Continue reading Cookies for Firefighters

We decided to leave Pio Pico a week early since Isaac and Mona were up in Washington. We arrived at Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails on August 26. Yes, it is hot, but it was hot in Jamul, too! We will be here for two weeks. The sites here are so much nicer. There are a… Continue reading Wilderness Lakes TT, Menifee, CA
