In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Desert Hot Springs, CA









We wanted to stay another day or two in Quartzsite and explore but the A/C voltage was too high (above 132 volts) causing our trailer's Electrical Management System to power us down to protect the electronics from excessive voltage. We topped off the main tank (diesel was $3.80), stopped to say hi to Hi Jolly, had breakfast at Micky D's, hooked up and left at 10am. We crossed the Colorado River in to CA and are at a Western Horizon Resort for four nights free. We get the sales pitch Wednesday. In checking the weather we see snow on a pass we have to go through so we decided to let it warm up first. We are now in the land of big mountains with snow reaching above the clouds. No hurry to go up there yet, we are retired! When we leave Thursday the Ford will get the first big mountain test. Who's Hi Jolly? If you click on the pics to enlarge them, the brown marker will tell you all about the camel jockey. Right now he's in a typical AZ desert cemetery. Judy is off to the mineral water hot tubs for a soak.
