Good Morning everyone! I’m beginning a new blog on a rainy day in Mesa. First time it has rained in many months. This time next week, I’ll be getting ready for my trip to Lost Dutchman State Park with RVW.
Sue Shaw and I went there for 4 nights in January. It was GREAT! We had planned to have Genie join us but her rig was out of commission, but she did drive in by car to join us. On this trip, we’ll be in a Group Area.
This was last year in the group area. I was between Alice and Elna and Sue Shaw. This year, not sure where I will be, but I’m looking forward to going. I’m not going to take Metaxa with me, although I will miss her. Since there are no hook-ups, I don’t want to chance it with either being too hot or too cold. It’s supposed to be nice there temperature wise next week, but you can never be sure.
There are 29 of us signed up for the rally. Genie said she is going to cancel, so I hope there is one more on the list so we can be full and give someone a chance to go and give Genie her money back.
There have been a lot of changes over the last year. I signed up for it on the 31st of March LAST YEAR! One of the problems with it this year is that the bathrooms (toilets) are not working. The showers are supposed to be working (as it was when we were there in January). They have port-a-potties, but they are really AWFUL! So I guess I’ll use DAISEE2’s for the whole time. I’ll try to dump before I leave so it will not begin to stink, if you know what I mean! The good news is, that I’m only 20 minutes from the park, door to door. So I won’t leave here until about 1:30 since we’re not “allowed” in until 2.
I was contacted by Tim Gustafson (My medicare/MASA guy) about a new APP called “Tripcast”. I think it is like Instagram but without all of the drama because you get to “invite” people to your site and approve them personally, so that you don’t get bad players like you do on other apps. Anyway, I set up “Travels with DAISEE2 and Metaxa” where I can upload pictures and videos so my friends can follow me and my travels. I have 8 members so far. I’m pretty excited about it right now. We’ll see how it turns out. I’m hoping others will start one so I can follow their lives (Bill and Cathy and Winston come to mind).
Today is Saturday, March 8, 2025. It is bright and sunny today, but a little chilly – 49 degrees at 9AM. I took a shower this morning so I’m waiting for my hair to dry. I MAY go on a walk today, but will go to Gilbert rather than Usery Park. Jack is going to go dry off the JEEP and I’ll dry off DAISEE2 so she’ll be bright and shiny for my trip to Lost Dutchman next week. I’m looking forward to it A LOT!
After his bath!
