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.

Huffing & puffing to get to Ehrenberg, AZ

Still no camera so no pictures but I'm working on it. We haven't been to any stores that stock them so I will probably have to order on on the Internet and have it shipped to the campground in Bullhead City.
On Easter Sunday Judy & Trish drove back to the CG in Casa Grande and went to church, I stayed home and did some cleaning and the laundry. In the afternoon we gathered at the clubhouse with about 20 HitchHiker friends that had no yet left the rally site. We had a real good Easter dinner with turkey, ham and fried chicken plus all the rest of the goodies. As we were finishing we felt the 7.2 earthquake in Mexico's Baja peninsula.
On Monday we packed up, said our good byes and pulled out. It was 185 miles to Ehrenberg, AZ on the CA border. We made it but we huffed and puffed to do it. It was OK when we left but soon after the wind started to blow & the last 30 miles we were in 40 & 45 mph gusts. I was glad to arrive! The CG is on the Colorado River which we can see out the back window. We did walk to the river in the afternoon to check it out. We could see the bridge into CA in the distance and all the west bound traffic was definitely moving noticeably slower into the wind than the east bound traffic traveling with the wind. Maybe the west bounders were going uphill too?? Update...they were slowing down entering CA for an agriculture inspection station. Good old CA.
The sunset was pretty and the wind died down but this here RV was rocking all afternoon with us inside. This morning is very clear and pretty & NO wind. The CG has lots of younger RVers as it's spring and Easter break.
