sandsys Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 We're not traveling this season but our daughter and her boyfriend are driving here to Minnesota from Montana for the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed, please, for no winter storms during that time.

My granddaughter and family are moving from Bakersfield CA to Raleigh NC. Yes I am very happy about this. She has finished her school...respiratory therapy...and has gotten a job at Duke Hospital. They will be traveling across country on January 6th. Pray for good weather for them. Quote Linda and Ed Lavinlavinmh@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, they are still here because North Dakota is closed so they can't go home yet. I'm glad our daughter scheduled extra time off work just in case. I hope your granddaughter has better weather for her trip. At least yours is traveling further south so once they get over the mountains they have better odds.

NDBirdman Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) ND Hiways are slowly opening but still snow/ice covered. Not great for traveling for sure. It takes on average 3 days to get our road opened, we are not on a major road. I've seen it take a week to get snow-plows down our road. More often than not, a farmer gets tired of waiting and breaks out a tractor/snow blower and does some roads around here. Both mine broke this morning, we're going to be here a while. Can't wait to hit the snow bird road.... darn broke-down trucks and campers.

palamine Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hey Classmates, As we won't be traveling anymore, we wanted to "beg" you all to come visit us in beautiful Summerland, BC. We have a big driveway and power and water will be available. We are in the heart of wine country and would be happy to tour you around. So please think about it. We miss you all.

Wanderin Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 Quote Well, well, well .... with all the protests and rioting going on in Minneapolis I've been thinking about the Sands. It looks like very few have been on the forum for many months. Hope you're all safe and well. It's already been quite a year and we aren't even half through it. Stay safe and if the Sands are around, let us know how you're doing in Minnesota. Miss you all.

Sure glad we no longer live within the city limits. We have lived in some neighborhoods that would not be a good place to be right now.

I sure am glad our daughter and her boyfriend came to a family gathering before all this isolating hit, though.

Onthego Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Yikes!!!! It's been almost a year since anyone has posted. We are starting to come out of the pandemic which is good. Get your vaccine if you haven't. We decided a year ago after spending the winter in Arizona to move from the Texas Hill Country to southern Arizona. We didn't put the house on the market until August and closed early in October. We lived in the RV until January when we closed on our new to us house in southern Arizona. The Texas humidity and cloudy winters sealed the deal for us. No regrets on the move. We plan to stay this summer to see how hot it really gets. For those still traveling - Travel safe!

We spent one summer in Havasu while we built the house.....our conclusion? “Never Again” . Most places aren’t as hot as Havasu tho. I think most of us are not on the road much anymore, hence the lack of posts. Enjoy the new place!

I've heard the Tucson area is lovely. But, that's the place where I got the worst sunburn of my life so I'm not sure I'd want to live there. I hope wherever your version of southern Arizona is turns out to be wonderful for you.
