Awesome write up and fabulous blog. Good travels with your new home. As with everything in life - nothing's perfect. They both have good and not-so-good but you'll get used to it. We're with Diane about having to drive the big truck around. That was a big minus with our 5th wheel. We loved having the Jeep with our motorhome. Also..... LOVE the pickleball pics - our favorite game!!!

I don't think you can do something like that on your own. The liability is great. If a person has a need for physical therapy they can either have a certified home health PT person come to them from an agency (they'll do that) or find a local physical therapist.

Deb, thanks for returning and putting everyone at ease. We're good at drumming up mysteries. Keep working with the site. You'll get the hang of it and please ask more questions..... but give a better title of the issue other than your name! Good travels to you!

It really is a nice experience!

I don't know how you can single out younger folks on this site unless they give their age. I haven't read that the younger ones have expressed a feeling that they weren't wanted.

I'm sorry you felt that way. Did you try to join in with the Boomer BOF group? They are so welcoming!!

I totally agree with Orvil. Xscapers will use Facebook rather than an online forum. The younger generation is totally different with communication than when we were that age. They also are not into volunteering as much and do different, more active activities. They're not into clubhouse activities of coffees and games. They are also workers from their RVs. They have found their own niche and that's good.

6% on SELECT subscriptions - only for the Blue Cash Preferred Card which has an annual membership fee of $95.

Do you have notifications set for your credit card? If so, the Uber charges should have notified you.

Life is short. I don't worry and obsess about things out of my control.

We have all been tracked in some way years ago.

I don't understand this. Why are state parks and national forest campgrounds listed. Do they buy up a lot of sites and then charge a premium for them? Terrible practice!

If you're going to leave it in one spot why not consider a Park Model or Destination Trailer. It can be moved on site for you and left year-round if the park allows it. Or else it could be moved to a storage facility over the winter. This way you could go bigger for the three of you which would be much more pleasant on rainy days and would give each more privacy.

We placed ours at PPL consignment in Houston and all we had to do was to get a rider on our insurance at a cost of around $35. The whole consignment process was simple and so glad to sell it easily (with a month).

I'm doing the same investigations right now. A few months ago we joined AARP for their vehicle and medical insurance benefits. We saved greatly on the vehicle but are finding that the Medicare Supplement through AARP is way expensive compared to other plans. We now have Humana for prescriptions but they're dropping a very expensive med for us so have to search for a new plan. Isn't this fun? We definitely won't go with an Advantage Plan. Lots of research to do, unfortunately.

We enjoy catch and release trout fishing and gladly pay for an annual license if staying in the state a couple months. We usually made it a point to do this and would move around within the state for different fishing spots. It's well worth it to us to have the rivers and lakes managed professionally. The states can manage better than the Federal government.

Base Camp is awful!

Death Valley Days is coming up the first of November. It's a fun time.

This is where I got the idea of it being 'exercise classes'. That's why I asked the question. I didn't delve into the web site.... just glanced at the classes. https://www.silversneakers.com/learn/classes/

Here's a write-up of that area from 2013. Guess things have changed. The Thousand Trails small area was where we attended our very first gathering of Escapees Boomers back in 1997. Many in attendance are our friends today! https://wheelingit.us/2013/04/11/boondocking-site-review-thousand-trails-road-prescott-nfs-cottonwood-az/

We still use Street Atlas - an awesome program that doesn't require internet. We really don't have issue with incorrect information. We also use a paper atlas to see a bigger, more detailed picture. We love Benchmark series of road atlases for the western streets. It has everything on the map in great detail... public things, especially such as campgrounds, public parks, etc. We could never travel by just plugging in A to B and follow it on a GPS or phone. That's not the kind of traveling we do. We meander.

When I think of a 'gym' I think of machines, if that's what the OP is looking for. Otherwise, there are usually 'exercise' classes given throughout any size community. Silver Sneakers doesn't utilized machines, does it? They do use hand weights and floor balls.

We never experienced anything like you describe. We didn't stay near bigger cities so perhaps the small towns are better. RV parks have problems with theirs sometimes especially if near a sandy beach. In RV parks if it's for 55+ it will be cleaner than one utilized by families.The majority of places we've used have a employee constantly cleaning the equipment and floors. Even though we could have had equipment in our RV we chose not to do that. We loved going every 2 weeks and getting it all done in 1.5-2 hr. time and then not having to think about it again. The in-town ones have big commercial washers that have many rinses. We take advantage of the time by doing errands while in town. We catch up on reading while waiting. It worked great for us. After getting the motorhome we discovered the beauty of dry camping or boondocking on public lands so if we would have installed the W/D not having hookups would have been impossible to use them. We made the right decision. As stated above, ask the campground host for recommendations. They know the good places.
