4 Alfa’s in aa row. We spend Monday night at our new digs in Yuma, Az. Yep you read correctly. We have a new place to hang our hats or in this case, park the Rv. In March, we embarked on a different journey, finding a spot where we did not have to hear the old residents complaining about dogs. Earlier, we had stopped by after Quartzsite – Rally to visit. While here we spent time researching lots, that would fit our life style. At that time nothing really popped out to us, however after events at Rovers Roost, Susan went back to our list of lots. After a few calls we located one that fit our requirements.
Susan and Dick went through some requirements and I suggested to include some creative financing. What sort of creative financing you might ask? 6 payments, twice a year and a very small interest. Dick and Susan (Broker Realtor) started worked out the details and here we are. Residing on our own lot, Dakota walking freely with aa lease, hanging around and enjoying life.
So, Monday, April 2nd, after returning from Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mx., night we hosted a impromptu gathering. We arranged for 3 Alfas’ to park our lot with one more on the street in front of our lot.
On Tuesday, we rolled out, heading west on I-8, heading to Hemet, Ca. We make good time until we were going thru the Palm Springs area. Yep, the winds picked, and we were facing 20 to 35 mile gusts, until we headed south on I-10.
All in all it was a good drive and once set up we were ready to visit our Alfa Framily, as Susan likes to say.
Our Roadrunners rally started on Wed. running 5 days, with main rally roll in starting on the following Monday.
With the many friends, crafts, tech talks, dinners, morning gathering social hours and just getting together in the evenings, time sped up. Soon it was time to wrap-up and head out.
It was Monday, April 16th, that we headed out. We needed to leave as high and gusting winds were coming into California and we needed to leave before they arrived.
Our travel map was the same, coming in and leaving the same way:
I drove the first leg, with Susan, picking up the second leg. Our travel time, around 5 hours.
Susan had already arranged for electric service to be turned on. We re-fuel our Rv, and loaded up on water, prior to parking. Our neighbor, Dick, north across the street, allowed us to fill our water tank prior to parking.
So here we are, arranging entrance gates for 2 Rv’s and a walk-in gate along with Rv tires pads. We are doing tire pads for 2 Rv’s, that will allow our 2008 Gold wheel base and the 38 footer wheel base Alfa’s will be able to park.
