Richland Wa, Wednesday June 17, 2020

We are at the Garcia’s for the next month. Tri-cities area is still in phase 1 of the Covid so the RV park is still on restricted usage. We are lucky because we already had reservations for a month. The original was to be here so Mike and Tanya could fly back east to one of Mike’s shipmates wedding on June 19. The wedding got canceled but we kept the month long reservations. You can stay at the park for one night or for over 30 nights. In phase one Covid their is no recreational camping in the area. Thus we’ll be here for a while.

Our 2020 Spring travels,

Goodyear, AZ – Thursday April 30, 2020

Tomorrow we are heading north to the big house and cooler weather. Highs here have been over 100 for the last several days and or going to stay that away until September. Phoenix get 110 days with temperatures over 100.

Did I just get caught?

Yes you did.

The next question is has she done this before and does she know how to get down?

Goodyear, AZ – Wednesday April 1, 2020

Well we are still here in Goodyear. With all the virus things going on we decided to stay here for April. It was a hard to decide what to do. The coach is our traveling home and it feels like home however with the upheaval it would be nice to be in our big house home of 43 years. We were able to move to another site so the refrigerator does not have the afternoon sun.

Big house weather is still cool/cold and wet. Both Brian and Tanya sent us pictures of hail in their back yards yesterday.

Goodyear weather for the first part of April. Traveling is becoming difficult with all the state parks closed and more and more federal parks closing every day. I saw on an RV news letter that their are more people at Quartzsite now than they had in January. The current plan is to return to the big house in May and see what is going to happen after that.

Campsite pictures, in site 365 facing north.

Lots of open spaces. The only thing open here at the park is the laundry room, but at least we have a place to be and the monthly rate is $20.00 a night.
