Back to February, 2016: The Big Bang!

February 4, 2016 (Note date)

Ah!  Civilization!  Wickenburg, AZ

Today I start recounting my earlier adventures on the road since I left off with my last post from Quartzsite, AZ at the end of January, 2016.  Yes, I really dropped off the planet after my reports of boondocking in Quartzsite for the big annual RV show there in the desert.  (To read my earlier posts, please click on the January and/or February 2016 archives on the right side of this page.)

April Fool’s Day Whoops……

April 1, 2017

Well, I’m falling back on my promise to update by going back to spring, 2016.  Geez, what a non-blogger I’ve turned out to be! I think you may just have to put up with my intermittent posts, and jumping around with the dates…  Send me your comments if my time-line gets too confusing.  So, as you can see from the date at the top, this post is from April, 2017.  You’ll see why I thought I should add this post now.

I’m Baaaaak!

Reports of my demise as a blogger are exaggerated, although not by much!  I am well and back on the road!  Yea!

Quartzsite–It’s a Wrap

January 31, 2016

It was a dark and snowy night… well, make that; it was a dark, windy and rainy night. The sound of the pelting rain on the motorhome is fierce but magical. But never mind all that literary jargon: IT’S POPCORN NIGHT!

Ugh! Food Poisoning

January 27, 2016

Each afternoon we experience a fun “happy hour” activity. Yesterday was a wine tasting with lots of delicious appetizers. Mmmmm! We all chatted, compared stories, experiences. “Old Timers” were glad to welcome us “Newcomers.”

Living the Good Life

January 23, 2016

I spent the last two weeks of January, 2016 literally out in the boonies. I was boondocking with the Boomers Escapees group in Quartzsite, Arizona. Boondocking means that we were camping without electric or water hook-ups. You bring in what you need in water, and you use your batteries and generator for electricity.

Quartzsite Ho! Part II

January 28, 2016

The campsite was called Boomerville. Finally, I had arrived, tired but relieved. After turning at the Boomerville sign and driving about a quarter of a mile I saw a few motorhomes on the right, so I pulled over.

Quartzsite Ho!

The first major stop on my trip was Quartzsite, Arizona, the town in Arizona’s southwest desert of about 3500 people that mushrooms into almost a million in the winter.

Off!! Like a herd of turtles!

Off!!  Like a herd of turtles!

After months of planning, research and finally wrenching myself away from duties at home in Albuquerque, I hit the road, bound for Quartzsite, Arizona.
