It is challenging to manage RV park swimming pools for social distancing when it gets hot out. The weekends and holidays are especially tough when the cabins are also booked. I have to salute Pio Pico for figuring out a fair system that seems to be working. At first a simple schedule of 3-hour sessions… Continue reading Swim Sign-ups Working

Beware of Eucalyptus Trees!
Last year we saw a large branch that just dropped from a huge eucalyptus tree within Pio Pico’s RV park south side, and it just missed hitting the RV on the site. It is frustrating because there is nothing one can notice from looking at these trees that would indicate a weakness where one may… Continue reading Beware of Eucalyptus Trees!
Commitment Made
We’ve been working on the idea of a manufactured home since May as we were preparing to leave Yuma. Granted, this is much sooner than we previously thought we’d be taking this step, but it seems right for us. It will allow us to be relatively close to our grandkids, have great amenities while enjoying… Continue reading Commitment Made
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
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
