Let the waiting begin
10/31/06: Apache Junction, AZ: A few days ago, we moved the short distance to Las Vegas, NV. We stayed at the Nellis AFB campground and (sort of) got lucky. This is a very busy RV park, where reservations are needed to get a FHU site. We arrived and got the last partial site. This site was a bit cramped and had electric and water. The problem was, they share hookups and the 30amp circuit was taken...
9/28/06: Keystone, SD: We only have a little over 2 weeks left here. I'm ready to get moving again. Partly because work is getting fairly boring, partly to see different areas, and partly to see our daughters and grand-daughter again. It's supposed to be slow season, but we have any tour busses spending the night. This sounds contradicting. How can we be busy, yet bored? Tour busses are easy to ha...
8/31/06: Keystone, SD: Yesterday, our 2nd day off for the week, we just spend around the house relaxing with hobbies. Connie spent most of the day filling the home with tantalizing aromas. She LOVES to cook and play with recipes, and I sure don't mind being her Ginny pig for tasting her creations. Her first batch of home made cinnamon rolls were good, but her 2nd batch are delicious! Although she ...
7/31/06: Keystone, SD: Well, we've survived a month here! All of a sudden yesterday, life got more entertaining here. a dozen or more hummingbirds suddenly appeared and are putting on a show for us. Actually, they're fighting for possession of the few hummingbird feeders out. We've had one large one out since we've been here, and they still haven't found it (yet). But the neighbors had a couple an...
6/30/06: Keystone, SD: It's been another enjoyable and relaxing week as we drove to our summer workamper positions. We stopped for a couple nights in Cheyenne, WY (FE Warren AFB) to visit Connie's niece, Kari and her family. It was a bit strange to see how the AFB and Cheyenne has changed over the years. FE Warren AFB was our first assignment in the USAF, over 28 years ago. I still think this is o...
5/27/06: Apache Junction, AZ: Happy Memorial Day Weekend! Please take a few moments to remember all of those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and way of life. We must never forget. Do you know what an Arizona Dust Devil is? It's a desert mini tornado. Dust devils are created when air near the surface becomes much warmer than the air above. This creates an instability in which the warm a...
4/30/06: Tucson, AZ: These past few days have been days of meeting old friends. A few days ago, we met John and Kathy Boddy again. We've been playing leap frog with them for the past couple months. We saw them in Texas at a couple places and they beat us to Tucson. Then a couple days ago, we had dinner with fellow Boomers Bob and Ann Peay. They spend their winters in San Carlos, Mexico, where they...
3/31/06: Big Bend National Park, TX: After a week at Laughlin AFB campground, we moved 20 miles away to Laughlin AFB's marina and campground on Lake Amistad. Nothing exciting happened for those few days. We did see a bunch of wildlife in the campground. The deer didn't seem afraid of us and came to within feet of the motor homes. After leaving the Del Rio area, we arrived in Big Bend National Park...
2/28/06: Summerdale, AL: A couple days ago, we left Mayport, FL, and started heading west again. We're heading to southern Texas to look around for the next month. We stopped for the night in Tallahassee at the Camping World store. From our visit there last month, we knew they had free electric hookups. Just a friendly place to stop for the night, but the store did get a few more of our dollars. A...
1/31/06: Patrick AFB, FL: We arrived at Patrick AFB, which is next to Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, a couple days ago. We plan to spend a week or two here. There's plenty to do and see, and I'm sure Connie will be tired of Space Museum's before we leave. We thought there was a Delta rocket launch scheduled (with a weather satellite) for February 6th, but it's being postponed until M...
