As they say, "Use it of lose it". Can't believe that someone isn't making Winter plans already. This may be the hottest week of the year, but that simply means that cooler weather is just over the horizon.Doesn't anyone want to know how much better one state is or the other? How about passport requirements for going into Mexico? (Now is a good time to get one or have yours renewed). Is anyone curious as to whether rates are going up this Fall? Have you all got your Golden Age Passports before they go up? Do you think that generator will start when you need it in October?Must be some Snowbird topics out there.

Since you mentioned it. Greased wheel bearings and new seals yesterday. Today connected generator checked remote start, ran ac, check and adjust rear camera, changed genny oil, cleaned storage compartments, GA passport and registrations proof of ins in order, shore power adapters in order, cleaned power cord terminals, put clean bedding back on, organized fastened tv satellite wires. This evening planing first boondocking stops across Wi Mn Sd.

Don't stay in Florida thru the summer months. I'm just praying real hard for winter to come early so I can breath again and be able to to outside. :C

Camping in the rain here in Minnesota. But nothing better than going to sleep with raindrops on the roof as long as your roof don't leak.

If all goes according to plan, this will be our last winter here. Retirement next spring and then off to the deep south the following winter. Trying to envision what that will be like....... not to have to shovel snow, freeze your butt off or have to drive on those nasty snow-covered roads.

This is a good place to start asking questions about things like mail, locations, activities, etc.

Plans are also already made. Just sold my Escape 17B, will be picking up an Escape 21 in Chilliwack, BC in August, hang out in the northwest until southern Arizona cools off, then the LTVA in Quartzsite & Imperial Dam.

We will be headed to AZ - meandering our way down. We are not reserving anywhere as we have never been there with the rv or stayed in any parks and I sure am not going to obligate myself to a campground I have never seen. We will start out parked with FHU at a relatives for a couple of weeks while we check out whats offered. Site fees seem rather expensive for sitting in a parking lot type campground on dirt. Hoping we can find something a little different.

How can you stay awake when you are lying there listening to the pitter patter of rain on the roof?

Agree.

We made our plans for this Winter before we left Eloy in the Spring.

Thanks for your efforts. I know that some of our "experts" put new people off with their "Do a search" or "Do it my way" attitudes. It is also possible that the powers that be, might decide this forum is no longer needed. They are wrong. I don't care if people are looking for the cheapest place to park to park in Paducah or the best burger in Birmingham, the resident members can be a big help.

Are you awake yet? :-)
