It's not cold. Travel safe everyone. Jeff Bet it's that "El Nino" brat Jeff! Nice and sunny here in Port Aransas (for now). I think that the temps are about normal (high 60's).

Roger Wow Roger, if you think that is gonna happen then I got some Ocean Front Property in Nevada to talk to you about. Seems a few years back I spent a year there one December and the wind blew so much I was only able to use my lil gas weber 3 times. I signed up for a fishing trip the first week and it got cancelled so many times I never did get out. Back home now. Had a great time in Florida. Was fun meeting up with Jeri and Terry, also with Jerry and Janice. ( Hope Janice is over being mad at me ) Of course it was fun seeing the Grand Kids also. Dang but they be gettin big. We are kinda thinking about maybe spending a month down there next winter.

palamine Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I mustn't feel like it would be bragging but we have perfect weather today. Mid-70's, bright skies and no wind. We had our fair share of unpleasant weather on the way west so it's nice. It is really nice to be back in the park. We know almost everyone. We have a really nice site. December is full of activities but I will do my best to not overdo.

lynlou Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 We were in Mission last year and I didn't think it was that bad but we spent a month in Port Isabel and the wind never seems to stop. We are at Gonzales, Texas right now and I am so tired of the wind, the rain and the cold. Although we are having sun for the next 7 days. Yeah!!!!

hdrider Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 We had pretty good weather while we were in Casa Grande last month and it hasn't been that bad here in Yuma other than a couple cool days early in the week and some breeze. But it's been in the 70's the last couple days and is supposed to be in the high 70's all next week but we will be moving on Monday. The only real reason we think about Mission Texas is because of the Ratema Village RV Park. After 3 years I think we are both thinking about a spot to sit still for a few months during the winter and both want a small Casita type thing with outdoor living and a little storage where we can we can spread out a little. And the prices at Retema seem to be more affordable than a couple spot like it in Arizona even though at this point Arizona is our top choice because well,,,, we are just west coast people I guess.

hdrider Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Have you checked out Ajo, Arizona? Very affordable, very beautiful and interesting. We checked out Ajo while camping at Organ Pipe a coupe years ago and you are right, nice small town and the type of place we like to visit while in travel mode. But if we find a spot to sit for 4 months it will probably be in a little bigger town, 20,000 to 30,000 would be perfect but certainly under 100,000 people. And we will be looking for nice landscaping (some green would be nice) and a place with activities. Lets just say we don't need to stay in the nicest of parks while we are touring and love state parks BUT it we are going to sit for a few months, I (more than Diane) will be wanting plush surroundings. And the sites are going to need to be at least 40x80 or so, no close together camping during that time. And eventually having a casita type building that can maybe offer a nice bathroom and a sating area that can open up to the outside for and create a nice outdoor living area would be idea.

IYQ Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 I changed the scenery for the weekend. I'm down at Poncho Villa state Park in Columbus NM. I'll probably go back to Deming Monday. The new Sending unit for the propane guage on the Navion came in yesterday but when I took the Navion in to have it installed they found that they had sent the wrong unit again. The problem seems to be that all 4 of the RV supply houses have been taken over by one company and the individual houses can no longer make decisions on their own. They have to refer everything to the parent company so nothing gets done in a timely fashion. If Jimmy can't get the correct part by next friday I thing I'll just forget about it until I get back in February or March. His dad use to own the local LP plant and Jimmy worked there until it was sold. Yesterday he even drove over there to see if they had the part but no luck. Anyway I'm going to enjoy the peace and beauty of this park till Monday and not worry about the trip west until next week.

IYQ Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Oh, and Lynn (being a retired nurse) insists on competent health care nearby. Roger Ajo no longer has a hostital. The old hospital building is for sale. They have a fairly large clinic with limited services. The town is too small to support anything more. The nearest full service hospital is in Casa Grande and of course Tucson isn't much farther away.
