Hi Dan, Travel Village and it's predecessor were one of my favorites to stay at when working in the Valley or Hollywood studios. Nice people, great shade trees, easy access to and fro...

RJ don't know yet. All we know so far is we have to be out of here for the sell in late December.
Finding a 10 x 10 storage unit in Roseville is tough right now they all seem to be full because of people leaving or losing their homes etc.
We have very little stuff. Well I actually don't have anything but a few tools and most else is on the bus. Momma has a lot of stuff that she uses for sewing etc. Are packing up in the next few days to moving stuff out and then probably an RV park until we can get some of her medical stuff done then hopefully we will know more. Don't know what state yet either. Flagstaff was a thought but with her heart we can't be that high up. I hate Limbo ya know.......

Dave, Prescott can get snow in the winter. Do you know Michael Hargis?  He is looking for workkcampers for an rv park he is getting to reopen in St. David.

Ed yes we know Mike and Christy. Where is St. David? Found it AZ by Wilcocks which we stayed at 4 years ago. Don't really want to workcamp ever again but might stay there if we get down that way. When will they have it opened?

 Hmm didn't know that. Last time I saw Michael was up at a RV camp up in St. George he was running. For that matter that was the last time I saw Ed also. Our best to the Mrs. ;)

A little late getting back to this post. It is St. David in Az.  I think they are going to open sometime after the first of the year.

Hi Dave, St George is a nice area, higher than LV, only  2700ft, but it snows. 123 miles 2 hrs from LV. Several RV parks, did a show there in an horse farm area called snow mountain, very pretty, red sandstone mountains. Best pie I've ever had nearby! tom...

Thanks Tom. The Pie should do it for me, LOL
We have lived in Colorado Snow country for ten years so no big for us. Don't really want to live in it any time soon but not a deal breaker. We think so far for awhile we will do some boondocking and RV parking for like a month at each place to just relax and chill out. I am done working for others. I have done that all my life even though it was my own businesses. I want to wake up when I want and drink a cup of coffee, read a good book, people watch, etc.

Hi Dave, there is a boondocking area on top of a mesa, outside the town limits, just east of Overton NV, no services, overlooks Lake Mead, it's flat, some other boondockers are always there, free! Off I-15 to Logandale/Overton, towards the Lake and Valley of Fire road...
