On the Road Again, Finally!

It's been nearly two years since last we hit the road; that time we had to hurry back for health reasons (my heart). Since then we traded our beloved Rosie for a gently used travel trailer and, several months later, a pickup truck to pull it with.

Nine months later, we are making our "maiden voyage," to be sure everything works and everything is where it ought to be. So far, everything works, but a whole lot of stuff is being relocated for convenience, safety, or findability.

So, where are we? Just 41 miles from home in Willcox, Arizona, at the Elks Club RV Park. The park is very clean, with 28 pull-thru spaces, water and electric, dump at the lodge. Here's our Prowler trailer (2009 model) and our Toyota Tundra (2007 model), with a view of the mountains behind us.

On the other hand, here is a view of the empty park! Yes, we are the only ones here. It's kind of strange, but perfectly fine. (Last minute update: at 4:15 pm Saturday, two motorhomes rolled in to keep us company!)

We've been over to the lodge a couple of times, just to kind of establish ourselves. The lodge itself is surprising for such a small town. It has a diner, live music on occasion, a pool room and a fine well-stocked bar. We are sure to return once in a while.

So the question arises: where are we going next, and when? We don't know. The biggest and most important trip would be up to Post Falls, Idaho, as our third great grandchild is due to born next month. What we have to decide is whether our credit cards will stand the expense. That's my current project, to plan a way to take that trip economically.

We hope to decide soon that we can make the trip a part of ... Our Life on Wheels!
