2015 brought us a new camper, a new tow truck and a new home!!! Well, not brand new, but new to us.
The first two were totally unexpected and, at this time last year, the downsizing project did not seem possible. Way too overwhelming!
By using Google Photos and the new Open Live Writer, we are presenting our last year in photos.
Picacho Peak State Park was our first night in Arizona after a harrowing trip west. The setting sun lit up the mountain across I-10 from our campground and we were back in our winter home.
Our happy place…..at the foot of the Superstition Mountains in Lost Dutchman State Park.
Boondocking on Dome Rock Road in Quartzsite….We were climbing the hills behind camp.
Bloggerfest 2015
Eggrollings meets The Bayfield Bunch!
Lynne and Sylvester at Clark Dry Lake, Anza Borrego SP in CA
John, BJ and Turk at the Dome Rock Egg Rally in Quartzsite
Theodore Roosevelt Lake, Arizona’s largest lake. We swapped the crowds of Quartzsite to almost complete isolation of this lake east of Phoenix.
More Roosevelt Lake
Salt River with Four Peaks in background…..close to our favorite parking lot at Phon D Sutton Rec Area.
Tucson Mountain Park
More Tucson
And that’s the end of our winter trip!
The remaining photos were selected to show the important happening of that month.
March: Green Eggs and Ham Rally in Montgomery, Alabama
April: Sadly said good-bye to our faithful companion of 5 years. Sooo many memories!
May: And said “hello” to our new home!
June: Our house sold!
July: Remodeling on our new home begins!
August: Time to rest, time to take a deep breath!
September: Land Between the Lakes Rally in Dover, TN.
October: Cherokee Rally in North Carolina and our new truck!
November: Gulf State Park at Gulf Shores, Alabama
Fireworks are sounding in the distance! Another year is coming in!
Hope everyone will have a wonder-filled 2016…HAPPY NEW YEAR!

FYI The camping situation at Phon D Sutton changed this year - weekends only :-(
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Just when we find a great place...the rule makers spoil it. And I fell in love with Clark Dry Lake at Anza Borrego sP...and they have screwed it up with additional limitations.
DeleteThanks for letting us know!
