Prelude to a Christmas~2001

Howdee all,
Back to December of 2001
We left Las Vegas in our new motorhome *Homey* and drove to Phoenix, Arizona to be with our Motorhome Mentors Dave and Jackie Daniels..
They liked this over 55 RV park in Mesa and stayed here many years..
It is like a summer camp for old folks..All kinds of activities.
Val del Oro
Jeff was 53 and I was 45 they made an exception and let us into the park since we knew another couple there.
Ha..this year I fully qualify for a 55 an older park..

See Phoenix in the distance..

  1. Beautiful sunset! I love that southern desert, in the winter, except for the dusty wind. But I really do love the plants and environment. Nice to see you two taking off on that new life adventure.

  4. I was going to suggest getting a hammock tent to hang between two trees... but over there you only got cacti!

    Still beautiful land, even though it may get absolutely scorching during the summer!

  7. Great to take a trip down memory lane every now and then. Many years ago my parents looked forward to retiring to a home on wheels and travel the country. They didn't get a chance but I know they would have loved it as much as you have.
