We also get those calls plus the one that says our computer is running slow and if we will give them access, they will speed it up. Another one we get is the call saying we have won a free trip. Only if it was legit!

Question!

Are there any plans for a rally in the area of El Paso or southern NM?

Thanks!
Dave

Hey look at what found its way to the wall in our dining room.
Dennis, tossed your name idea to Kate and we kinda like it. We are trying to come up with a feminine Native American name meaning "noble" or "regal" or "strong" or "bold" or "beautiful and strong" or "adventurer" or ... well, you get the idea.

"Makea" sounds like it could be Hopi or Navajo. Since we found our dream coach in AZ, we thought we'd give her a Native American name.

It is hard to be patient and wait til May 4th to pick her up! We had to have AlwaysRV put 6 new tires on her, as the date codes on the current tires are 4610. Ugh. I'm not driving on those. And they will fix any and every single problem they find with any system. Plus, we asked them to repair the top rear pealing paint. They will make it look new.

"Nekked moon dance" ...? Wayne's got to be there in his tutu. And Dave will be wearing nothing but a pedi ....

Those paintings are great, Dennis! Are they your work?

Finally, if there are rattlesnakes involved, we won't show up. I went to a big rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, TX when I was in college and that was enough to give me snake nightmares for years! I do NOT like snakes. Shudder.

I actually did the framing but Denise picked the matting and the frame. We are both very happy, as we hope you are, with the way it turned out. Denise was ecstatic when you gave here the painting and wanted it to be a centerpiece in the dining room.

Thanks again for such a wonderful gift.

Dave,

We're now seeing the great RVMutant migration north as the southern states are warming up. I'm hoping that if you plan it at the right time they will come -- especially to the Oregon coast in August 2017.

I personally enjoyed Arizona so much this year I'm planning to go back next winter. Perhaps some of us can swing thru NM on our way north in Spring 2017. Many of us are always up for some playtime with a bunch of mutated friends. I've heard some really nice things about NM state parks, but we were at the fairgrounds in Tucson and had a grand time. The toughest part is finding the right campground. I'm hoping after that the rest is easy.

Don't be such a stranger. We like hearing from all our peeps.

Another great day in AZ. We ran CR-V Mutant up to Payson for lunch and then another 33 miles out to Woods Canyon Lake. About 180 miles round trip. It's a great drive all along 260 from Camp Verde!

Warning, warning, DANGER, Will Robinson!

I just had the most white knuckle drive of my entire RVing life (5 years). US-89A from Sedona north is a very busy, very narrow, very twisty, curvy trek up mountains with oncoming cars hugging the center line and old rusty guard rails that don't look like they would keep a bicycle from going over the edge.

The scenery is drop dead gorgeous! But if not very careful that's what might happen to you.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled mutations.

It reminds me a lot of Lynx Lake near Prescott. There is a lot of beautiful places in Arizona. Who knew? Lily would love to play a game of chase with your little furry friend.

You don't have a dishwasher, right? Oh, never mind. Kate said she has one.

Be careful, y'all!
Nope! Government entities do not make phone calls, well except the VA to let one know they have a medical appointment. They also don't send emails with links in them.

Dave, sounds great, especially the Las Cruces area. Plan it and we'll try and attend if we are around. We live in Texas and that is only a two night stop to get there.

Well duh, yeah! I hope you were in Smarty and not the big one. Satellite view, satellite view, satellite view - next time.

Oh Gee... Got one of those calls today... does that put me in the elderly category? I just let my machine listen to any calls I don't recognize the number of....so I missed a really important call today... Bob's cousin called today. Had a hard time getting back to her. Apparently she doesn't pick up numbers she doesn't recognize either...LOL!
