Count Down

Counting down to June 16th. This is also family time with Susan's daughter, Dana and the 3 grandchildren, along with her new intended. New Intended? Let's be straight, Dana Fiancé Tom, along with his 3, Brandon, Gracie, and Madison. Who all arrived from Illinois, for a week of adventure and fun in Az. 

So, let's called them the crazy Eight from Illinois. 

In the mean time, we are getting ready to head to the Northwest, Vancouver, WA. to be exact. I know you're asking yourself, wait didn't you state you were staying in one place till Mid-July? 

Well it all started in May, I had been thinking and looking, did not need all the bells and whistle, just looking from Texas to Arizona. 

Our New 2024 Ford F-150 with upgrade in Towing and Off-road equipment.

So why are we showing you photos of roads -? 

Well, Roadmaster Inc, does not have a baseplate designed for the 2024 Ford. However, they said we would like your truck for the Development Shop. We will use your vehicle to design a system and ensure everything works. Great news, when can you bring it in? June 3rd, or Sep 27. 

You guess it - Jun 3rd, then we learned that they need it for 2 weeks.

So, off I went, leaving on Friday, and heading Northwest, as you can see by my route

I arrived on Sunday, but I really arrived just north of Bend on Saturday where it was suggested that I call Hans and Kay. What a wonderful time I had seeing these 2 wonderful friends and then meeting Diane. Any dinner Hans make is a delight and wonderful taste.

At the same time I am upgrading the electrical service to Happy Cabin. From 100, to 200amp service and just clean up. That's why the photos.

Rebar needs to cut out

Ok, so 1 morning, I got up, Dakota went to bed in the bedroom, next think, Dakota come running out to the door. Yes the Rv door, and barking. She has not done this in a long time.

Open the door, and out she went.

Finally, I have been slowly fitting some issues, especially fuses blowing due to wiring problems.

Wrapping up Show Low

 29 days until Albuquerque International Balloon Festival.

We will leave on Sep. 24 and head out. Plan,, arrive on Sunday, overnight camp and arrive at the South Rv lot on Monday morning. Information we have received is we are being moved to another area all in favor of the $$$$$. The area we are moving to was very unlevel last few years. Even we would not stay there. Susan and I have arranged to meet with officials on Sep 7 or 8 at the South Rv lot. We are going to verify that the conditions have been improved. In our opinion, we have 22 MH. Total value of $2 million.  

As this is our wrap-up here in at the Happy Cabin, let's see what has been going on.

Rv's pad's. We have spent $$$ arranging room for for 4 Alfas with 30 amps, water, and access to the dump. If on the other hand you do not need power, we have room for 1 or 2 dry-campers. At this time, we will not have Mooch Camping - as we have to recoup the $$ in developing the pads. All camping will only be allowed while we are on-site. 

In addition the final big maintenance item is done - Back side of roofing along with gutters installed. 

We had our first camping partner for the summer. This allowed us to try the main pad for campers. 

Also, we were going crazy not getting back out into the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest (A-S NF), and dry camping. Mike and Lorraine joined us in this adventure. What do I do when we are there ? Take long hikes in the forest itself. 

Ok, time for the Photos review:
