Ok kids let's give our newest mutant a bigv welcome aboard!
Welcome aboard t55watson, maybe give us a name or two so we can reference you guys more personally. And maybe think about being up in the UP next September for our GC??? Great chance to meet a bunch of us at once - that is if you can handle that!!! LOL

Glad to have you aboard and look forward to meeting you and DW sometime in the future!

Welcome to the rainbow, t55watson, You should fit right in. I live 20 minutes east of Abbotsford so you most likely passed by us.

Interesting that t55watson doesn't like a park close to where he lives. We have stayed in parks in over 20 states now and the worst one of them all has been the one closest to where we lived before we went FT. And it's not really a bad park. The staff is friendly enough, but the place needs a bunch of maintenance and repair that just doesn't seem to get done... owner has a really nice big house adjacent to the park though.

Welcome to the best group of friends in RVdom

t55WATSON and DW - - - glad to have you in the fold. Now that you're RVM167, you'll have to visit us a few times when we are spending a week+ just south of the bridge next year.

I'm the organizer of the gathering at Mill Creek. I examined many options to Mill Creek. I read a multitude of reviews on Mill Creek. The mutants have survived hail, rain, HAIL, ants, fire bans, mice, and other assorted hurdles to jump over in order to meet with our friends that might as well be called family. No campground is perfect and if it is, it's out of our budget bracket. I'm sure that we will be okay at Mill Creek too.

BTW, I'm PapawSteve RVM5.

Greetings Watson! I have sent you 2 private messages that will help you navigate the choppy waters of this thread.

Where are you in Arizona? We have Muties in many spots enjoying the warm. I'm in La Posa South near Quartzsite until March or until we have a GC down here. I hope we can mini-C sometime soon.

I knew instantly I was blessed, and for the first time ever in my life, I gave up control..... When there was a question about the RV, I said, call Chuck, when I couldnt keep everyone informed, I started the blog, I trusted people.... I never have before....

There were so many angels around me that I felt their wings, felt your angel wings too, Papaw Steve.....

Well just had my first and hopefully only 911 call on my phone I was at the car wash when the lady in the next bay screamed she slipped and cracked her head laying in the water with blood on her head. I got her to sit up then saw an at&t truck near so got the driver to help get her out of water then called she is going to be ok. Glad I was there

We would love to come up there and hang out if we’re welcome. As we are close by being from the south side of Chicago. I just remember a real nice lady with a small dog and a monkey, and a couple nice, but crazy guys from Canada named Dennis I think. We don’t want to join your group yet, but maybe later after we meet again in the upper peninsula. Let us know when and where and maybe we can make it there and meet the rest of you.

Best regards
Leroy Brown and company
Sheesh... Dave "Grand Poobah" was initiating people there... you missed the best intro to the crazy world of mutandom!

Scary River MT! Aren't you glad you were there to assist! I am sure she was ever so grateful for the angel you played to her!
