Summertime is safely tucked away for winter. She is in heated storage at Gaines Marina in Rouses Point NY. Now time for our next adventure. We just committed to buying an RV for our winter travels. Will fly to Fl on the 21st to pick her up and take a leisurely drive back to the cabin as our intentions are to spend the fall here on the lake…

January 2020 Yuma, AZ Chasing the warmth

Wally and I didn’t realize how our boating life in tropical places had spoiled us for needing warm  weather until we arrived in Benson, AZ just before Thanksgiving. In our previous blog posts we had described our trip south as “trying to avoid the Arctic Blasts reaching deep into the U.S.” … “daytime temps hovering in the 40’s”…” the night air will chill you to the bone”. Somehow we seemed to think that arriving back at our home RV Park in Benson, AZ would change all of that. Well, it didn’t! Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations were full of the warm wishes of the season, but the chilling temperatures left us cold. By the last days of December, we were on the move again.

Roosevelt’s CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps), the sites tend to be minimal. Camping in those days involved tents, small tow-behind trailers and truck campers. Early in our RVing life, we bought a Florida State Park Pass. It fit our “price-sensitive” nature and the variety of campers that shared the parks with us broadened our horizons. That winter, in our 35-foot bus conversion, we enjoyed close-up experiences of some of Florida’s most unique features. Some years later, traveling in our 24-foot Class C Motorhome, we followed the National Parks up the West Coast. A Senior Pass offers U.S. citizens, age 62 and over, free admission to federal lands. What s...
