Our New Home!



Our new home! Well, it’s a condo. Ok, so I just bought a driveway.

We lost our spot in our favorite RV resort in the Coachella valley to the condo-builders a couple of years ago, and I decided to take an opportunity to nail down a place to stay there during the winter. Outdoor Resorts Palm Springs is a 1200+ site RV condominium resort with security gates and beautiful grounds. All of the sites are privately owned, though at any given time about 1/3 of them are rented. It’s strictly RVs, no buildings or “mobile” homes of any type.

This year will be a test. If we like the resort and the people, we will keep coming back. If not, we will either sell the pad or rent it out. So far it’s working out. The location is better in some ways then our old site, but not as convenient for some other things. Our neighbors are good to really nice. No water aerobics program is a big downer for Barbara, but there’s a lot more in the valley to keep her occupied in the meantime.

When I get old (I refuse to acknowledge 62 as “old”), retired, and unwilling to guide a 15 ton bus down the road, then we may do something more permanent. In the meantime we can use our RV for trips like the one to Oregon (see previous post on this blog) in the spring, summer or fall, and still come to the desert for winter.
