Still headed to Arizona for winter?
Wondering with the corona crud, how many of you have decided not to go south for the Winter? We are still undecided.

I’m planning to go to AZ for the first time. Will mostly boondock. I’ll avoid big crowds and practice social distancing.

Honest question:
What do you think will happen if you drive to AZ for the winter?

For us it isn’t so much afraid I may get it. It’s more what will be open and restrictions will be in place

That's not a concern where you are now?

Arizona is getting in good shape right now but no one knows the future. If you're an outdoors person nothing is restricted - hiking, tennis, pickleball. Indoor gyms still aren't open. Just do a Google to see what's open or not right now but as I said, things can change.

You do realize that half of the RVing world already goes to AZ for the winter and has done so for years and the good spots are pretty well occupied... right?
I'm not just talking about Quartzite, but Yuma, PHX, Tucson, etc - it's everywhere.
This will be our 5th year spending Jan/Feb in Tucson and we learned that first year to make reservations a year in advance.
So, if you're driving all that way from NJ you'd do well to consider making plans and reservations for at least some of the time you're going to be there. Or you could be sorely disappointed.

We were until my wife got the virus here in Missouri.. She got out of the hospital yesterday after 21 days with damaged lungs.. full time 02 at home for now.. Dr said 6 month recovery time.. I am grateful that she is home and not in a nursing home. Shes only 73. I am a great nurse.. She is getting around the house ok but tires easily.. 6 months to build her strengh and lung capacity with hopes of getting off the 02..

I heard from sources..... Arizona is REALLY BAD!!!! Don't come.... I mean don't go to Arizona! Go to Florida or Texas, its much better and I hear they've got COVID under control its much nicer in those states.

Well if things are restricted very much I’d rather be here at home where I have a nice shop to tinker in and family close by than stuck in my RV 😃
