Well we are back in Quartzsite Az. The weather has not been all that good, wet with rain and a lot of wind this year. Our 10 by 10 stand alone room isn't standing any more. It took off yesterday in a near 50 knot blast of air. Oh well, as sailors we knew better but left it up. We will survive. We had 5 of us here in Q yesterday. Rich Luhr from Airstream life Mag. was here for the night. The weather is supposed to get better now. We hope we can get back to shorts soon, then I can fuss about the heat. ha ha. Our friend Cathie was here for the weekend. Had a good time and went to Yuma for the day on Sunday. She is a little crazy and helped us to move on after we had to put our loved cat Gabby down last week. Have to go out now and clean up. See u later

Deadhorse Airstream Rally

Well we moved from 1000 trailes down to Dead horse state park for our 4Th rally with our Four Corners Airstream group. Weather is really good. A little cold at night but near 70 in the afternoons. We have a good turn out with 23 Airstream's here. I promise that I will take some Pictures and post them here. The rally is a pirate theme and we have a treasure hunt in Old Cottonwood this morning. The ridge around the Verde valley are covered in snow making it really pretty. We will be here till Tuesday then head back to Quartzsite for 1 1/2 months. The great thing is we haven't figured out where we are going for our summer. We had our first house guest last week. That made it 3 adults, one 100lb Lab, one 17 year old cat and the meanest pariot you have ever seen. See you next time...Mike

Camp Verde

Well we made it up here last Sunday. The weather has been wonderful, but a little colder than Quartzsite. Cottonwood is just 4 miles down the road and Sadona is just a few miles up the road. Not a bad spot to spend the winter. We really miss the ocean. I have been thinking about going out to Florida to see friends there. Have to make that decision right after the Airstream rally at Deadhorse next week. What a life! You can tell that all of our friends in the 4cu Airstream group are getting restless and ready for the rally. I'll have more after next week.

Quartzsite Experience

Well here we are in Quartzite Az.. The worlds largest RV show is going on and there must be at least 50,000 RVs of every shape and size parked out in the desert with us. We have been here since Dec. 30 and the weather has been pretty good---until 3 days ago. We now have water front property, ha ha..... Lots of rain and today we have wind and gust's to 60. The little Airstream is doing great. We have 3 other Air buddies with us and are all tied down for the storm. Sheri found a quilting group in town and is in heaven, there are days when its hard to get in due to the sewing bee in progress. We will leave here on the 30th to take care of the new tenants coming in then up to Camp Verde and Cottonwood for our big Airstream rally. I'll try to be a little more regular with my updates. See you soon...Mike

Well it's Saturday before Christmas and we are very close to being ready to hit the road. I met a new friend as a result of this blog. Her and her husband are in Florida in their 34ft Airstream and we have talked once with Skype. What a deal that is. It makes communicating easy and personal. Sheri is going to her sisters for Christmas and I am going to stay here and baby sit the pets. Ho Ho Ho. We are not sleeping well at all. Too excited about the new adventure. We will be at the thousand trails park at Camp Verde, Az. for the first two weeks of Jan. We have a rally with our airstream group in Cottonwood Az. in Feb. so we may stay up there till after the get together then I think its on to the desert in Quartsite for the rest of the winter. Everybody have a wonderful holiday. See you soon----Mike

Well, this is the first day of the blog. We actually get underway on the 29th of Dec. and I hope by then I will have figured out all about how to blog, post pics. and all of the things to make this a good site. Be back soon...Mike
