Time to get Organized


 With five people and three animals going on this caravan, we have to find new and creative ways to get and stay organized!  This weekend we started to make our "to do" list and started going through the truck to see what will stay and what will go.  Stuart built a wooden platform between the wheel wells so we can slide our camping chairs, step stool and tables out easily.  Those tend to be some of the first things we grab when we're setting up camp.  We still have plenty of clearance when we close up the Softopper Cover!

a shell of what it once was

The renovation has begun in earnest and has so far consumed about five days.  Day one was removing furniture and saving all of it to make templates. Next came skin removal. After that, insulation was removed.  Stu and his friend built a wooden skeleton inside to give it strength when the “pull the shell” - meaning they’ll unbolt the frame from the aluminum dome. The frame is in pretty rough shape. It will need to be repaired at the very least.  The demo part has felt quick - we’ll see how rebuilding goes!

La Paz

​ Yesterday the group had an organized city bus tour and lunch. The guide, Pamela, was adorable as spoke English very well.  We loaded up on a really nice bus and headed into La Paz. The tour started with a three story history museum.  A museum docent guided us through  - and the history covered early times through the Mexican Revolution. Next we walked next door to an old building that had once been a sanitorium, then prison and now a combined library and day care center.  The building was old and beautiful and we were told that it was haunted and had underground tunnels leading to the nearby mission.  The bus returned to the terminal and we walked around the city - stopping in the mission, some small  shops and then along the shoreline to lunch. The city was very clean and had beautiful sculptures near the water.  Lunch was across from the beach and included delicious desert.  While we were touring, Stuart and two of our friends - Peter and Fred...

Thanksgiving at The Range

Image
We had a shake down cruise to The Range for a week.  It's an Airstream only park and this was our fourth trip there.  (That makes us official "Range Repeaters") Sarah and Paul have spent years developing the property and they have done a stunning job.  My parents and some local Airstream friends joined us - and we ended up making some new friends too!  Kelly and Pam, new-ish Airstream full-timers were wonderful company and a wealth of information.  Taking advantage of several meals at the barn was one of the highlights of our stay - Thanksgiving dinner, Saturday morning breakfast and Saturday dinner.  The food was delicious and the company was even better.  Looking forward to more visits to the Range in 2022!
