Hi Linda - don't come by here very often but just got a notice of a reply to one of my threads......so glad you found someone to help. I'm also in Pahrump (4th Winter here). Hope all goes well. Donna

I've seen them along Hwy. 50, east of Carson City/Dayton, Nevada - early afternoon. We have a herd near the RV park I stay in Pahrump that is visible at times. Also, near Virginia City, NV they are out and about a lot. In South Dakota, near Hot Springs there is a wild horse sanctuary but it's more commercial. Lots of other locations - what area/states are you interested in?

Yep, been using a version of that for almost 5 years! The gal I got my kitten from used it and passed along the info to me. At that time I bought Purina Layena Crumbles but I've bought other brands of crumbles and it works just as well. 50 lbs for $20 is what it is now, when I started it was $15 - $17 depending on where I purchased. Why I like it? No odor, clumps, isn't clay, can be found just about anywhere there is a feed store in small towns. I have 2 buckets with lids that I store it in and that works for me. Never had any issue with my cat not using it.

Um. Not quite 7' tall at the corners and not quite 10' tall in the center? If he has anything bigger than a conversion van there's not much hope that would work for him.

OK. I went back and looked; he has a Scamp trailer pulled by a pick up truck so maybe. I wonder what an RV park would say about him setting this up?
Most of the RV parks I've been in would be a definite NO. In AZ the park allowed an 8x8 canopy, but none of the others would allow any type of canopy/cover. Best call first.

Today I booked sites for the next two weeks, thru the 4th of July. I left May 1st from So. Nevada and have traveled to South Dakota with reservations that I made the 1st of the year. A couple places that I have in the new itinerary were not available, and one was too dang expensive! ($118.00 per night for a 30 amp pull thru). I was able to find other parks that had openings and all worked out. Was rather surprised I was able to book a week including 4th of July week-end at one of my favorite spots in Montana. Granted, I'm not looking in heavily populated areas, but did check places along I-90 in Montana and they were booked or very, very expensive. Many RV parks have told me they've had LOTS of cancellations....but then people like me call
One place in a very small town was booked solid, but the time I wanted was a festival in town and it's to be expected.

Saw this on another forum - hope everyone is safe.

Yep, read that.....just made a comment as to what it was like for cattle/horses. Not stating any different.

Interesting - I used to raise horses/cattle and for dna we HAD to have roots. Didn't know it was different for human. https://vgl.ucdavis.edu/sample-collection/cattle

I have found lots and lots of solo RV'ers are out and about....all ages, well into their 70's & 80's. Have you gone on any shorter strips just to make sure of all the things you are worried about are not problems? I'm more picky about the weather than I used to be, don't drive in wind, don't drive in bad rain, don't drive at night, don't do the long, long days. Not into hair curler museums, but love dinosaur and local history, so are out and about checking things out, seeing beautiful country but at a slower pace. I also enjoy the adventure of meeting new people, most of whom are wonderful and ready to share a conversation. Everyone is different, see how it goes and then you'll have a better idea of what solo travel means to you. Good luck, hope you enjoy your trip.

Please watch the short clip above from FoxNews. Thought we as a bunch of travelers might have some info.
Thanks

Maybe too close?...have you been to The Likely Place in Likely, CA between Susanville and Alturas? Very nice camp ground, in the middle of a big ranch, lots of trees, biking/hiking paths, lots to offer (from their website): We welcome families with kids and pets. Our kids playground has swings, a teeter totter, slide, a shallow water play area, and soccer goal with balls. Fish in our ponds, canoe, kayak and paddleboard - all free! Our 18-hole golf course and driving range is outstanding. We are family friendly and pet friendly. Likely Place
I've been there several times and it's always enjoyable. They have a small restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch - small store/fuel in Likely but better grocery in Alturas.
Keep us posted and have a great trip!

Last year my family did a week long trip to fort bragg, we had a blast. this year we want to do another week long trip but we cant figure out where to! we live in nevada and want to keep it around the 8 hour mark as traveling with 2 kids under 2 can be rough. full hookups is nice, but boondocking is always an option. anyone have a great destination to recommend? just to relax, enjoy the area, scenery and such. no tow behind so not really mobile once we arrive.
What part of Nevada do you live in...that will help with distances. Would a state park type place work?

I would like to add to this. SOME home BP monitors can be unreliable but most are very reliable and accurate which is the most critical. My cardiologist stresses home BP monitoring as it is the best way to get an accurate picture of BP at various times of day and circumstances. I take my unit the doctor's office periodically and they calibrate it against both automatic and manual systems.
Same here, wore out the first one, now on the 2nd and never had had a issue in 15 years.

I use Americas Mailbox and have since 2018. Their website is easy to navigate, they are very prompt and if you have a question via email, it's answered within a day. No complaints - they are a mail service and that's what I needed.

Stuff happens...glad you are doing well. Hope you are able to get things back to some sort of normal.
Take care.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Jim and Mary's have this on their reservations page.
We do not offer monthly rates in season (April 1 - October 15th).
It really is a nice place but they are up to almost $60. per night now.
Everything around Missoula is $$$. Do you need to be really close or can you be a few miles out of town?
-
Yes, lesson learned, even though he was standing right next to me and we discussed the item first hand as I ordered it....oh well. Have received the refund and the restocking fee was only 10% (64.00) not the 25% as listed on the return information. Not sure if that was because it was purchased through Amazon Marketplace or what, but I'll take it. So that and the shipping and a better blood pressure reading. All is well. Thanks to all for listening during my time of stress!

I think the tech who told you to buy it should pay the restocking fee if you don't find a buyer.
Linda
Thanks Linda, but I doubt that would ever happen. Used the same guy a couple years ago to install a couple lights and find a leak - did well then. Afraid that's not the case now.

You might want to advertise it on the RV market forum.
Thanks, I forgot about that part of the forum. Will do.

You could have simply said that it was an inch too big .
Sorry - it was an inch too big.

It doesn't fit. Didn't want to go into the week long dialogue, just want to find a home for the item so I don't lose a ton of money. It is not an exact match for the current one he but said it would be OK....he's done LOTS of these! Yeah, right. It's for a standard Atwood 10 electric/gas system.
-
Long story short, the RV tech said this particular water heater would fit the application, he was just here and said, oh, no, it won't fit. To return it will cost me shipping (ok) and a 25% stocking fee (not ok) on a 600+ item. It's still in the packaging, is there any chance someone out in RV land might need one?

Any kind suggestions are appreciated. I am located in Pahrump, NV for the winter.
Thanks!

How about, you just are driving down the road one day and say - Self, I don't want to do this anymore! I've spent almost 7 years full time, winters in AZ or NV, traveling spring, summer and fall. Some times big trips, some times back to the E. Washington, Montana, Idaho areas for a few months.
For me, the cost of parks and fuel and just everyday stuff like eating has gone through the roof. I don't really think that's what tipped me over, but might have been part of it. Never minded, in fact was always glad to be heading North back to trees, clean water, ranches, miles of green grass....maybe it was that flat tire in Lakeview or the broken switch on the hitch in Pahrump. Could have been the foot of water in Burns...I don't know. But all that to say I've bought a lot in far NE Washington. In the process of getting ready for winter. I've lived up here before but in a great house with wood stoves so I know what the weather can be. Other folks here survive, so we'll see if I can
Any reason to change directions in your life is OK. Seems to be that happens and we aren't always ready but, here we go!
Toy hauler is in storage but I'll keep it just in case this doesn't work like it think it should. That's plan B. Still have Evie the cat, she's almost 6 years old and been to 11 states and 2 Provinces. Life is good.
