I think we're going to boondock for just the one night. Vibin' & Drivin' (You Tube channel) has a list of their favorite free campsites & one is just west of Yuma.

Looks like your right in front of us. We just spent 2 nights at Davis Mtns State Park and heading to Las Cruces today. We will stay in LC 3 nights, then one night each at Picacho Peaks SP, AZ and then somewhere in Yuma before heading onto CA. I highly recommend the Boot Camp. We did it in Nov '18 at Livingston & learned a ton. Maybe we'll catch up in Qsite.!

Hey guys! Just wanted to check in & see what everyone's plans are. Is anyone going to be in Quartzsite in Jan? And the Escapade in WY in June? We will be doing both & would love to meet anyone who's around! We left Houston this morning, headed for California to see DH's dad for Christmas, south of LA. Will head out from there after the New Year and wander around, aiming for Q'site around the time of the tent show. Plan on wandering around the Southern desert Southwest for the winter. Oh yeah, gonna be in Tucson for the Escapees Hangout in early Feb. The beginning of full-time life has been great! We left Houston Sept 1 & headed to Red Bay AL, to get punch list work done on our new rig at the Tiffin factory. Spent 2 1/2 weeks there waiting for, and then getting the work done. But we met lots of fellow Tiffin owners & had fun trading stories. We will likely head back there in March before our warranty is up After that, we wandered to East visiting family we don't get to see a lot of. We went to Chicago, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, DC, HamptonVA, AshevilleNC, Atlanta, and Destin before heading back to Houston for a month to take care of med & financial stuff. Took our toad up to Tulsa to see fam for Tgiving. Kind of weird being in a S&B for a week after sleeping in the Chrysalis every night since late May. We missed her. But now we're back on the road again & I'm so excited! Hope to see some of ya'll in person!

Re: Memorizing numbers I use Google Keep quite a bit to save that kind of stuff. I have one note with all our car (RV, toad, daughter's car) plate numbers with year make & model. Another with the access code for our storage unit, another for RV stuff like cabinet measurements, bike lock codes, and so on. Also put grocery list there & things I eventually need/want to buy.

Good idea on the 11 month return in MO, Mark. But can't file one in TX cause NO STATE INCOME TAX!!!!!😄😄😄😄 (Not laughing at you, just celebrating that fact.) But Escapees does recommend filing an intent to domicile in TX to help break those ties. Cheryl

We registered for Escapade in WY last week! Also plan on being in Quartzsite for at least a little while in late Jan/early Feb. Our plans are very fluid after Jan 3 as of this time.

That's so awesome! Congrats!

Hey gang! We started our full-time travels today & created a Facebook page for them! If anyone is interested in following along, we're Mad Macs Coddiwomple.

I, too think it's a great idea! We plan on being in the L.A. are for Christmas and haven't made plans beyond that, so it shouldn't be hard for us to make it to Quartzite in January! Cheryl

UPDATE: House sale went fine, so we are houseless, but not homeless! Loving our RV life, other than the heat in Houston! Our college daughter came & stayed with us for 3 weeks & left this morning. We were concerned about having 3 adults & 3 dogs in the rig full-time, but she loved the RV, said it was comfy & the life was fun! It greatly helped that we have a bunk over the cab of our class A. We put curtains up so she could block off the bunk & have her privacy. Hubby retires next week, and we plan on leaving here Sept 1 for FT travel! Still rearranging stuff, but not sure that will ever change.

Moved into our RV the end of May & put our house on the market. The pic is from our first weekend trip after getting our RV in April. Our house has sold & closes in 3 days! My DH Bruce is retiring at the end of August and we will be off! So ready to travel!
