Sandie & Jim Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 We never know what the next January will bring until January gets here. So if I tried to commit us we would have to be committed. lol But I have high hopes that this January will be better than last one.

palamine Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Golly, you want us to commit to January in April ?? I can tell you we'll be in and out of the Portland area most of the summer and head south in late fall probably San Diego area (maybe). We've been to "Q" many times. Maybe a different location for next January ? Yuma? Tucson? Borrego Springs? Agreed. A new place. January is a good time though.

Onthego Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Any news from Lee? Our plans are to be in the southwest for the winter. Also will go to Porto Penasco, Mexico for a week in Feb. We've wanted to spend some time in Borrego Springs. We liked American Girl Mine Rd. west of Yuma. I think 2 Class-less couples are going to be in Casa Grande from mid Oct. through mid Jan. We can't get a way from rain. Gees. Rain for the next week. Everywhere we go big rain. Plan to leave San Antonio area Monday after a visit to the generator shop. Hope to start drying out soon. Travel safe everyone.

After running around the U.S. the rest of the year, we thought that we'd give a "staycation" a shot this winter so we can catch our breath. Have never sat in one place for that long so, it should be interesting. We'll have good company with Dave & Diane! After that I wouldn't mind a change from Q and perhaps Yuma? Jeff, you and Tina sure have been in a rain zone these past months...maybe some pontoons for your rig?!! And good luck with that genny. That reminds me to give ours a little exercise.

hdrider Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yup, as Jeff & Roger said, we will be trying our first attempt at a 3 month stay in one spot in Casa Grande between Oct 15 and Jan. 15th. We have stayed there 2 times for 1 month so far and enjoyed it and now with Roger & Lynn going to be there it should be a breeze. After leaving the Hawthorne Nevada area we went to Washoe Lake State Park outside of Carson City for a few days of dry camping. Loved the place but man we had some wind and it got darn cold at night. I think we came north to soon so what did we do yesterday!!?? Drove 180 miles farther north LOL!!! We are in a nice park in the middle of nothing with a nice snow capped mountain out our front window and full hookups and on a golf course. Just a couple nights here before making another move.

IYQ Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm planning a trip to a very popular, historical and beautiful city that most people keep in their plans and I hate it. Charleston, SC. I'd prefer any boondock area. We pretty much figured out I'll be going to an assisted living near my niece. You better bet If I ever get rid of these seizures I'll be playing like an escape artest. I'll be staying here in Deming for about 3 more weeks while my nephew and niece take care of the business up in Iowa leaving me careed for by one of the Cowgirls.

steved44 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Lee, we spent some time in Charlston a couple of years ago. They did have cowgirls there all right, but they looked different. No spurs! Might be easier on you! We were at the Elks club there (non assisted living), but had a good time exploring the area. Jeff, don't come up here to get out of the rain, we are supposed to get 5 or 6 inches of it starting this evening. It's looking like it might start at any time right now. We are in the middle of the farmers market right now and have one of our grand kids with us for a couple of hours. She had to go out and buy a cucumber, so we were involved in a major shopping spree. Ha Ha We haven't even thought about next winter yet, but we will meet up with the group somewhere for sure. We like Yuma, Tucson, Borrrego Springs, and so far have not stayed in any one place for the season. Longest was in Yuma when we sold our other bus. Nov to Jan. Sky's the limit.

Our daughter knows I'll need assisted living if I lose Dave. Yesterday she sent me a brochure for a place near her in Butte, MT. I hope the one you are headed for is as nice as the one she picked. Getting old is not for sissies but it happens to those of us who live long enough. Wouldn't it be nice if you could find a facility similar to the Escapee's Care Center but close to family so you could continue to live in one of your RVs? It might be a parking lot but if it was next to gardens with walking paths it might be OK.

Wanderin Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Terry's mom went into a facility that is Senior Living but they do have a section there for assisted living. It's a really nice place. She loves the people and it's worked out great for her. A good place makes all the difference. Good luck to you. We also loved Charleston ! Don't escape, Lee, until you're sure you can get away. Well, we haven't been to Borrego Springs so I would like to go sometime this next season. We'd also like to visit Parker and the Colorado River with the kayak, San Diego and, of course, we'll be in the Tempe/ Chandler area for a bit of the time. Sounds like we'll have neighbors in Casa Grande. I'd still like to rent a houseboat on Lake Mead (?) but that's probably not this season. I like Tucson very much especially in the foothills. --- Quote Just Wanderin' On a permanent vacation! http://blog.willywagon.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we traveled back to Tennessee from Florida, we got to Savannah and followed the Georgia /South Carolina border toward Tn. Got real close to Charleston before we turned. We know our way back to Charleston and also to Deming if you need our help. Hope the seizure stop soon so you can come visit us. We do have a place for you to stay in your Rv or if you arrive with just your truck. We are probably the closest to Charleston right now.

IYQ Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Things got set back again. Now they (Niece and Nephew) won't be able to leave until the 21st. That won't put them here until at least the night of the 25th if not later. I think I'll wait until they get here then refuse to go back with them. No, I'd better not they might decide to take me back in a body bag. The Seizures are doing a lot better. I haven't had any during the night or during the day today. But, I sure need a car load of Kleenex. I'm also much more confused than usual. I'm usually just more confusing than confused.

Sounds like you are getting better except for allergies. Can you post where you are? We are in Marathon, Tx. We have been to the Big Bend area 2 other times and our Jeep has broken down both times. This time (third time is the charm) we hope to explore the Chisos Mountains and the State Park before heading farther west. Silly things - Yesterday went across a railroad crossing on US 90. It was so rough that my convex mirror on the drivers side popped out. It was hanging on by the heater wires. Before I could get stopped it fell of and broke. Bummer. The other day I pulled out a drawer and discovered a heat vent hose torn apart. Well our furnace had quit working a month or so ago. So I duct taped it back together. For the heck of it I tried the furnace this morning and it works. Idon't know if it was the rough railroad track or fixing the vent hose but I am happy. Travel safe everyone.

Maybe, by the time your niece gets to you, you will be well! Bought the first of this season's Benadryl yesterday. Already stocked up on Kleenex but may need to do it again soon. Now snoring so loudly I wake myself up! And drooled on my pillow with a cough drop in my mouth--yuck! But, it is nice to have the trees leafing out to hide the highway from view again.

hdrider Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 We have made it back into Oregon. We spent a few great days in Likely Ca. before making the run to Central Oregon where we are mooch docking at friends outside of La Pine. Been bike riding and hiking some and catching up on things. This is the 3rd fulltime couple we know that are now going off the road and doing a house within the last few months . They have a nice setting and we are happy for them. We will hang out here for maybe another day or 2 and then head west. We have an appointment to have a air-conditioner looked at on Monday in Eugene.
