I was thinking, the other day, you might be wondering what I'm up to. So here's the news that's fit to print.
In August 2022 I bought a lifetime lease on a lot in an Escapee RV CO-OP in Pahrump, Nevada. Once you buy a lease you have the ability to park your rv on your lot and only pay for the electricity and propane that you use. There are yearly maintenance fees which pay for water, sewer and garbage. A month later I moved to a different lot that has a 'park model' trailer on it. The trailer is 40' long and permanently hooked up to water, sewer and propane.
It's a Wildwood, of course.
To the left is my covered patio, and sheltered patio with lattice
and 10x14' storage room.
Not the best pic but you get the idea.
I then made a trip in the RV to Yuma to retrieve things in storage and brought them up to Pahrump and into my storage room.
Parked out by my tree for the night after loading trailer.

All this was in late October and it was getting cold, you know what that means? Time to head south for the winter.
Let's back up a bit. To be able to buy a lease for any Escapee CO-OP park you need to be a member of Escapees and put your name on the waitlist for that park. Some parks have long waitlists and some are short. Pahrump's list was a short list. Escapees also has a CO-OP park in Yuma and that's a long list, and a park in Benson AZ and that's a really long list, I'm on the Benson list as well. It's good to have options. In 2016 I put my name on the Yuma list and in December 2022 I was able to get a lot there as well.
My lot in the Yuma park. It's just a parking
spot without a storage shed. See my Starlink internet dish.
I know many people in both parks and they all have welcomed me into their fold. There are many retired boondockers in the Yuma park which is nice. I have friends who no longer travel very much in their RV's, just going from co-op to co-op where they have lots.
So now I have several safe RV parking places, spaced around the west, to park if I need to. You know, just in case there's a pandemic or something.
But I'm not ready to hang up my keys yet. Right now I'm parked by my favorite tree in the California desert outside Yuma with friends. The kitties and I are very happy and healthy.

See you down the road.
