The Class-less Class

Dave we stayed there a couple years ago behind the Shell station for one night. I believe it's passport America and first come first serve. Work for us I'd stay there again.

 

Denver Broncos Super Bowl champions!!!!!

 

Travel safe everyone.

Being a die hard KC fan I didn't have a horse in this race but really wanted Carolina to win I guess because Denver has always given KC such grief being in the same division and all. But on he flip side I was sort of rooting for the old man to pull it off (IF THIS IS HIS LAST SEASON). But when Newton didn't jump on that fumbled ball near the end I figured to heck with him, he didn't want it bad enough so really didn't deserve it. In my mind it really was a fairly poor game and the ad's were a disappointment as well.

I can appreciate that Dave...it would be like me trying to root for the bears.

When I unplugged my smart phone this morning after charging it during the night. The male part of the plug that is supposed to stay in the phone came out with the USB cable. I carefully pushed it back in the phone using the Plug on the USB cable. Rocking the plug back and forth slightly and it released the male plug where it is supposed to be. A while later I decided to attach the cable again to see If I'd be able to recharge the phone tonight. When I did it just pushed the male plug back further inside the phone. I popped the case on the phone to see if there would be a way to fix it but found there is another steel case inside that also covers that plug. I put it back together and the phone is still working but when the battery runs down I won't have a way to charge it again. So rather than leave here Wednesday I've decided to head back to Deming tomorrow. I'll turn the phone off so that if I have an emergency on the way home I'll still have enough battery to make a call. I'll still have internet access through my tablet and jet pack but no phone. If it isn't one thing It's another. Guurrrrrr

 

Roger: I'm not going to give up Football because of how the game turned out. Cam is a very good QB and with a little more experience will be a force to contend with. A lot of teems already found that out with his win/loss record this year. I'm quiting watching because it's turning me into a couch potato from Thursday until Monday night and usually feeling depressed because the games were lopsided or the one I thought would win does something stupid. I was better off when I didn't watch TV at all. It's all too depressing and I just don't think what they call funny now-a-day is funny at all. And just think how long my two new TV's will last if I never turn them on.

[Roger & Lynn]

Can't argue with that Lee! Have you tried METV or similar stations? You can get it on the rabbit ears and has only old TV shows like Gunsmoke, the Honey Mooners, etc. We enjoy that when the dish is blocked by trees. You may not get it in Deming but, have found it around the U.S.

We use our TV as a big screen for viewing Netflix DVDs or streaming shows we enjoy. We are currently watching Sherlock which is a Sherlock Holmes TV series set in modern day London. It makes us both laugh and think.

I'm back in deming and one tired dude. I went to happy happy hour and got about 25 hugs from the gang here. I really haven't done much about setting up yet I'll take care of that tomorrow.

What park are you staying at in Deming? We want to travel through there this fall.

What park are you staying at in Deming? We want to travel through there this fall.

I'm at the Low Hi RV Ranch 4 miles south of town at the corner of Country Club annd O'Kelley. It is the headquarters for Loners on Wheels a singles RVClub. But the public is more than welcome, we give Passport and Escapees discounts. Most of the RV parks in town are on business I-10 too close to the freeway and the railroad. Our park is very quiet at night fairly large spaces, a few Trees and pleanty cactus gardens to dress it up. Right now I'm in spaces 19 and 20 (I have 2 rigs) but my be in 13 and 14 by the time you get here. Just ask at the office what space Lee is in. Everyone knows me. Most of our sites are pull through but we also have electric & water only back in sites and dry camping if that's your style. We have a Laundry, showers, dump station, Morning coffee hour and 4pm happy hour. A lounge with TV and pool table and a few other things that slip my memory right now. I may be a little partial but I think our park is the best in town.

Thank you for the information...sounds like a nice place. Hopefully we meet up sometime.

I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope it isn't a freight train. Tomorrow I'll start carrying the food from the Navion back to this rig. Today I got the freezer temperature down to 3° with the frig at 37°. I got most of the junk in the trailer back where it belongs. And now every thing seems to be working again except the water pump. No hurry for that as long as I'm on city water. This evening 12 of us went to Compo's for dinner. We had a good time and yes I can tell stories as good as any of them. We gave the restaurant 2 days notice that we were coming so every thing went as smooth as a baby's butt. The food was very good. Lee

[IYQ]

I got all the parishibles move out of the Navion today and washed up a few cooking utensils I bought yesterday and hooked up my tiny solar panel to the starting battery so it won't go dead while sitting here. But now my personal battery is dead so I'll rest the rest of the day. I need to start up my Honda generator and run all the gas out of it but hate to sit over at the shop long enough to get it done. I have a person who wants to buy it but he won't get here until sometime in March. If I still had a muscle or two, I'd pick it up and pour the gas out of the tank then finish running it dry. But that's a dream from the past. I'm lucky to pick me up let alone me and the generator. Lee

We will be leaving for Quartzsite in the morning. Joining some friends at Mile 99 for a few days.

 

We wanted to tell y'all about Buckeye Hills Regional Park. A great place for boondocking. Lots and lots of room. About 20 sites with shelters, BBQ's, tables and garbage. Beautiful panoramic views. About 20 minutes to the Walmart in Buckeye. Only thing missing is tv reception and that might be only because of the hills. We will definitely be back

For those who don't know, this is a county park near Phoenix. Their website, http://www.maricopa.gov/parks/buckeye/, says currently no water or electricity. Which implies sometimes there is or will be?

I got back to my morning walk this morning, about 1/2 a mile. Then I took care of a few maintenance chores until the mail came in. My mail was there, all three months worth. That took the rest of the afternoon until happy hour which was Ice Cream and Cake to celebrate all the February birthdays. After I gained a few pounds on that I tried to buy every RV accessory that Amazon had. Mostly stuff for the Navion but a new sewer hose for the trailer. This SW sunshine made it brittle and the last time I used it it sprung a few leaks. I also ordered a Trik-L-Start battery maintainer to keep the starting battery on the Navion charged while I'm parked for long periods. I had noticed that it only takes about a week for it to get down to 12.3 while parked with nothing in the cab turned on. The

Trik-L-Start keeps it charged with the coach battery and solar system but limits the current flow to below 5 amps and won't allow the coach battery to be drawn down too low. And of course the solar system keeps the coach battery recharged. I have my tiny solar panel on it now but that has no controller and you have to put it away every time you drive the Navion. So now I'm not only tired but also broke.

Where do you guys stay around Why and Ajo? Do you stay at the Howling Coyote place?

Where do you guys stay around Why and Ajo? Do you stay at the Howling Coyote place?

 

DAVE: I spend most of my time in that area at Organ Pipe Cactus Nat'l Monument 35 miles south of Ajo. I go up to Ajo and stay a few nights when I want TV, Most of the RV Parks there have cable. If you have satellite that wouldn't be an issue. I stay at the Shadow Ridge RV park in the center of town but the sites would be to small for your rig. And I'll warn you Ajo water is the worst in the country. It's terrible tasting. The copper mine there has polluted the ground water. The water at Organ pipe is very good. There is a BLM 2 miles south of Why that most people go to after Q. The name alludes me right now but there is a picknic table site on the east side of the road that is well marked with signs on the Hiway. Directly across the hiway on the west side is the BLM. No signs on the hiway but you can see all the rigs back there as you approach. Why has a service station with Propane out back and Grandma's restaurant to the side but back in a little. Best food in the area but that isn't saying very much. There is RV parking behind the station where you can pay to dump. ( Organ Pipe has a very clean dump station) If you deside to stay in an RV park in Ajo. The parks on the North end of town across from Olsen's (IGA grocery, hardware and builders supply) have larger spaces. The names, Belly Acres and Ajo Hieghts and another that has slipped my mind. And that is about all I can tell you.

We boondock in Ajo. Just south of town on Darby Well Road. There are sites near the beginning of the road (that's were we park) and more up the road. The road makes a big loop back into town but it's pretty rough in spots.

[hdrider]

Ok thanks, yup we stayed at Organ Pipe a couple years ago and loved it but thought we might try something different before heading to Tucson for a few days.

Made it down to the Porter's party place yesterday! What a great layout, and we enjoyed the hot tub with Dave, Nancy, Paul and Sue. BessyBus fits in here nicely. We cooked salmon with veggies last night and had a great time telling war stories. The wind was up yesterday for the drive from Laughlin, but now it's pretty calm, so time to check out the Lake Havasu sights!

Pulled into the Tallahassee Elks today. I can say it's not my favorite Elks park but it's only one night. It was a 250 mile day and tomorrow another 200 to Pensacola.
