We’re getting close. In Osceola, Iowa. Almost no Internet so far in this state so this will be brief.

The painted up Cadillac cars I posted about yesterday were on the west side of Amarillo, TX.  In nearby Conway, TX, east of Amarillo we found these five Volkswagen Beetles nose down in the ground, an obvious spoof to the … Continue reading →

We’ve crossed back into Central Time!  We’ll be home soon.  Today, we drove as far as Amarillo, Texas. Just before you get to town is a line of ten junker Cadillacs buried nose-down in a field along I-40.  These were … Continue reading →

The great “Return to Minnesota” migration has begun.  We’re on our way home, and so are a lot of other Minnesotans, as well as a lot of Canadians.   We’ll be spending the night in a Walmart parking lot in … Continue reading →

We spent last night at Distant Drums RV Park, refreshed all our tanks, and enjoyed having electricity and TV Cable.  It’s a nice park, we were here earlier this winter, and will probably return again the next time we are … Continue reading →

They did announce last night that the number of RVs attending the rally was around 3,800. They wanted everyone gone by 11:00 this morning. We managed to squeeze out of our tight spot around 8:00 and joined the steady stream … Continue reading →

More seminars today.  Bernie went to Generator Maintenance, LED lighting,  and Solar Panels, while I attended a very interesting History of RVing, and we both attended “So You Want to Full-Time” and another RVing to Alaska seminar. I just couldn’t get … Continue reading →

Last night the entertainment was Bill Cosby. Funny as ever. Today was more seminars and some free stuff and deep discounts and then free hospitality with free food and pictures. Elvis was there! Right now we’re seated, waiting for Martina … Continue reading →

Bowzer’s Rock N’ Roll Party was the entertainment last night.  Good show.  This was not the real Bowzer from the oldies group Sha Na Na, but was Jon Bauman’s portrayal of Bowzer.  He did a great job and the show was … Continue reading →

There was free coffee and entertainment first thing this morning.  Adam “Crack” Winrich (from Wisconsin) entertained us with harmonica playing, trick roping, and bullwhip cracking and some laughs. Two flaming bullwhips Gabby Hayes made an appearance Then it was the … Continue reading →

We left Mesa Regal this morning and went back to the west side of Phoenix to the Phoenix International Raceway where the big Good Sam RV Rally is.  It officially begins tomorrow, but we opted for a one day early … Continue reading →

I haven’t had anything to blog about for the last several days.  We’ve just been hanging out here in Mesa Regal RV Resort as well as at Towerpoint RV Resort next door where Shirley lives.  It’s a nice walk between … Continue reading →

Nothing to blog about today. Grocery shopping and watching TV.

No blog, just waiting for the rain to end.

What to do today?  After reading the 2012 Official Visitors Guide we decided on Mesa Grande Ruins Cultural Park, where you can see 700 year old pueblo ruins.  These ruins have been under preservation and development for the last several … Continue reading →

Just visiting with Shirley again. More relatives came to visit (Lyndsay and her boyfriend). We all went to lunch at Wildberries Restaurant in Mesa and then they left to head towards the Grand Canyon.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is Arizona’s oldest and largest arboretum.  We were looking for a nice hiking trail and this sounded like a good place for one.  It’s supposed to be a hot one today so we left early to get … Continue reading →

Just hanging out with Shirley. No pictures as I have exceeded my photo storage quota. I need to figure something out.

The forecast was for 80 degrees today, so we did our sight seeing early.  The Superstition Mountain Museum on the Apache Trail just below the Superstition Mountain was our destination.  It’s a nice little museum with info about the Lost … Continue reading →
