Well it ain't much, but it is home. And it is a nice upgrade from the old Subaru wagon. Happy Trails, Lisa

Thanks for the info! I spent a few weeks around there in March or April while I had a valid AZ pass. Nice facilities at CatTail Cove. Nice hot showers... If you go right as you leave CatTail Cove and head south... About a 1/4 mile down on the left is a gravel road that goes down and out. I...

  In this revision, I turned the front passenger seat 180. I travel alone, and I enjoy the comfort of stretching out.   But I thought, what if I do have to carry a passenger? So I put the 40% seat back in the original place. We are now flying tandem!   I also have the option of putting my...

But I was think something different, so I started moving stuff again: I moved the sideways seat further to the rear, allowing use of that door again.

  In the above photos, you can see that the 60/40 seats were removed and the 60% side covered the right rear door and folded down for stowage access.   The left rear main entry had the beginnings of a wood floor and threshold.   The commode is stowed in the cubby aft of the driver.   The...

  I've been bored.   I've been broke down and land locked for 2 months now.   Mt last expedition to Big Sur was nice and quiet and relaxing and beautiful. You can see the view from that campsite in my avatar. But I broke the rig pretty good about a half mile before that campsite. Darn...

Hi Jeanne! That "natural progression" concept is pretty neat. We all have our stories... After I lost everything, I started off on a mountain bike and tent, spent a year in 84 Subaru 4x4 wagon (kinda cramped, but love that quality time in 4 wheel low), and have 6 months in my current 4wd house...

Thanks Jim! Another nice event to plan my AZ holidays around. Happy Trails, Lisa

Welcome Aboard! I'm not really a class a lady, as you can tell from my avatar of my rig, but I am also a musician/songwriter/luthier/crazy lady with an obsession for time well spent in four wheel low, but I digress. I can say this, I have had my eyes on a Mercedes Benz van (in my budget, a...

For what it is worth, i spent a few years in South Florida, and learned that some Snow Birders (I think Montreal vacates from October to March and moves to Hollywood, Fla) leave a aluminum disposable pie pan filled with charcoal briquettes. I am not sure if this trick works, but you know how how...

Hey Eileen and Frank! I like Jeff's thoughts, simple to start. I am still simple at this point. That's the route I am taking. My journey is a long one, and it's been a couple years. After being robbed of my life and starting over, I started simple. They repo'd the car, in October 2011. In June...

Hey Y'all ! Whatcha into? Whatcha driving or dreaming of? Happy Trails, Lisa

Hey Y'all! Welcome! I'm a newbie too! I know I'm a little late, but... There is a beach town north of San Luis Obispo called Cambria. You wouldn't have happened to have ever been there, have you? Happy Trails, Lisa

Hey! I know you! You just posted on my introduction post! I was in Dallas area. I left a comfy beachfront studio apartment and associated beach life in Orange County California after a few negotiations with a recruiter and ran a jig bore for Bell Helicopter. Good money, until I got hurt in...

Hey Y'all! (I love that spell checker) Thanks for the posts! And thanks inscop for the linkie. I was on that site just 20 minutes ago, looking up the golden bear and disabled discount passes. I wonder if I can apply for both? I thinks the disabled discount is the way to go, as the glden bear...
