Yuma or Our Winter Digs

We arrived back onsite 21st of Oct. First night waas spend dry-camping, as utilities were schedule for Tuesday. Right on schedule - Tuesday ? everything came on. We spent the rest of the next few days getting setup and arranging the outside.

Also spending time seeing close friends, in the Hood.

My first job was a large one: Chuck Bahner decided to go full boat with Solar: Inv/Chg, & Solar Controller along with 6 Lithium Batteries. Along with other items he requested this was a 3 days of installation.

Chuck did do it right, I was amazed at the power of 6 lithium batteries over 6, lead acid. I am sold on Lithium now. Yea Chuck. Oh not to forget Zuma - his Silver lab (In-training Service Dog).

Our next large job was installing a new Gazebo.

Overall for Susan and I, it was a 2 day job. Don't let this scare you, as, it can be done in 1 day.

Oh, forgot to mention, Jerry and I went to Phx., to pick up 5 sets of solar panels along with a Roof Kit for our TPO roof. Best place to get materials ? Best materials roofing in Phx. Why spend $$$$$$ for those special RV Roofing suppliers. I always say, go to the pro's in Roofing.

The last few days, it has been a little breeze, winds up to 15 - 20 mph sometimes.

Temperature today? Expect mid 70's.

Ok, that's it for now

End of the Run Big Thank You to Sue

Oct. 21st, 1600 miles since we left Custer City, SD.

Along the way, we stopped and visited many places especially, Albuquerque International Balloon Festival (AIBF). This was our 4th Year Volunteering, where we worked the Navigator's Tent. Met some very wonderful people including our new

Team Lead Sue Kirst-Millspaugh.

What a breath of Fresh Air, she brought with her a vitally, energy, and a unique way of Leading.

Her leading style? One where if you watched her, you would see, everything or anything she asked of you. She has already shown you what to do by her actions.

What do I mean? If you were to just observe her, for an hour, you would know, what your assignment would me. She leads by example, she is a doer and not a demander. If she asked for help, then she knows what it takes to preform the task. I never saw her once asking someone to do, something, that she has not done herself.

We definitely would work for her in the Future. Shs has a vitally, energy and a way of inspiring people that work with her. She is a joy to be with. When you are with her, you just want to jump in and do things to help others.

To us it was One Big Party. In and outside the tent.

Ok, enough of that, let's get back.
This is our last leg, of our journey, we on on Interstate 8, heading west toward Yuma, Az.

Everything on out lot is schedule for a Tuesday Turn on, so for tonight we will dry-camp, yet be very happy, to be settled back down and start planning our next adventure.

Here it is Oct 18

What happen? Nothing since Oct. 2nd.

Well, we had so much fun, were so tired, that I just did not make time to Blog about our adventures.

So much for being lazy, yes lazy, as I can always make time for blogging. So, what and where are we.

We left Sunday, Oct. 13th., first stop, Elephant Butte state park. South of Albuquerque about 150 miles. With our NM State Park pass, we scored a 30 amp & water site for the night. So what did you do? Dumped the tanks, and slept. That is after a good dinner.

Our next stop was 35 miles further south, Lake Caballo State Park.
There are actually 2 Caballo lake St Pk.

As we arrived in time to talk with the Cmp Host, we found a spot with a Green Card (Good for 1 Night), Susan then went online, found it was available for 3 nights. Booked and settled in.

Our 3rd NM St Pk was City of Rocks, north of Deming.

Where again we scored a 30 amp site with water, for $4.00. Before I leave you, each state park has plenty of dry-camping spots. Where the cost is $0.00. Each park has a dump, showers and toilets.

Nice Overview of the State park
