So, it's a matter of working out those logistics and making sure you can generate enough electricity to keep your frig running.

I could see us staying at one of the RV parks for a month, then a couple of weeks out where Di and Larry are.

Have y'all been out there, Marty? Any interest?

Or, maybe I figure out something I can sell in a vendor booth .... Hmmmm. My mom's heavenly hand-made soaps .... If I could spend a couple of weeks with her so that we could make enough stock ... Mmmmm. My mind is spinning.

BTW, I'm bringing a few bars of Mom's hand-made soap to Dead Horse. Will use them as prizes for some game or "contest." Don't ask what. I'm still working on it ...

We like Quartzsite and will be heading there after the Tucson Curiosity probably for a week or so, that's why I stuck with my two-way fridge gas/elect. I never worry about the fridge staying cold until it doesn't ... lol ...

Cheers !!!

Darn, we're headed to Mexico after the GC and then back to Casa Grande. In between the GC and Mexico we are going to take in the Gourd show about 14 blocks from here.

Starting to have a tough time scheduling everything in. Tomorrow we will be taking in the "Casa Grande" itself and then off to Phoenix to see my nephew we haven't seen in twenty years.

Can't rock chips in those fancy Class A windshields be glued like they are on cars, or did it crack already?

Haven't been to Quartzite.... maybe someday. I can see Bob having an interest if the altitude isn't too high, he'd love to have a spot where he can fly on a whim without having to go to an airport....although, I'm pretty sure the ground would be to snaggy for the chute unless he used dirt roads...

Tried to keep it a secret, but the paparazzi caught her with a Diplomat, so the bonding with the Navigator is a no-go. I think a Discovery and an Expedition have blinked lites at her, and a Bounder across the street is keeping a headlight on her.
Gwen is such a fickle sort that legal ties would mean a nasty parting of ways and alimony. Maybe she wishes to support us, her dependents?

There are places.... Not sure how long out you woukd have to make reservations.... According to da web, this place swells to 200,000 people... And i doubt we would or could go very long.... We are just testing our solar panels, water woukd still be an issue..... And remember... This is desert.

There are a lot of places he could take off from there just north of town or just south of town. And the foot hills are beautiful when you get in there.
