Travel
I think I mentioned on several blogs past that I'm re-thinking where and how I should live. With all its problems and much needed repairs, and with the Park management providing constant irritation, I love this place. It is large enough that I've been able to expand out a bit, as well as to have room for items such as cookware, linens, glassware, etc. that I love to use. It is also comfortable and homey to me, at least on the inside.
I was very comfortable and had space for what I needed (not all that I had) in my 5th wheel RV, but the maintenance issues drove me into the ground since I was alone and had to do everything with no help. I'm finding the same situation with this mobile home, and one of my sons has suggested I get rid of the house and find an apartment or live in an RV.
To that end I have been searching Craigslist as well as RV dealers on the internet for suitable Class C's. I can't afford a new one and the closer I get down to my price range the more likely I will face many more maintenance issues. I was stunned at how prices have seemed to rise since I was last in the market, although I may just be forgetful in that regard.
If I did get an RV I would want to travel in it and not just sit in place. I love the travel aspect and the freedom to sit for a while or to pick up and move to a new place. I remember that I didn't much care for RV parks, although it didn't matter much to me for just an overnight stop. As it is I can travel in my Highlander and camp in a tent - which I love and prefer doing - or stay in a motel along the way.
If any readers have some thoughtful insights for me, I'd love to hear your views. Maybe someone out there has been in a like situation, and I'd be interested to know how you came to one decision or another.
- Another Great Day!
Not great from the weather aspect though. At 7 pm it's still 99 degrees and I was gone during the coolest part of the day so I didn't get the swamp cooler turned on until late afternoon. I'm going to take a beer outside and sit...
- A Fine Friday!
I won't become a year older until 5:45 pm today. My dad used to call me every Nov. 14th and tell me "In ** minutes you will be ** years old". I really didn't care to be reminded back then, but I'd sure love to hear his voice...
- Nothing New Here
It's much warmer today than it has been the past couple of days, and I'm pretty tired of hot weather. Unfortunately Nature doesn't care what I'm tired of! A note to Geocaching, please email me at mgypsy97 at aol dot com if you are...
- Searching For Campgrounds
I've been looking for tent camping sites along Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada. There are provincial parks, but their rates seem high. I guess I'm used to paying the senior rate at US National Park and Forest Service campgrounds,...
