Well, we are not going anywhere for another month. We were supposed to head to Washington State next week, but now we are staying in place here in Yuma (Wellton, AZ) for another month. With the Covid-19 we were not having any luck in keeping our reservations to some parks heading up North. One would cancel and then another, I would find a replacement, then another would close. All State parks and Corp of Engineer parks, National Park are closed. Arizona State Park Campgrounds are still open, shouldn’t be, but may close soon. Getting real tough RVing now. We just this morning cancelled all of our reservations heading to Washington State.. It amazes me that there are a lot of people who are going about their day like nothing is happening… What stay in place do you not understand?? STAY HOME!!!
Our next hosting job is a day use place at Enumclaw, WA, (Federation Forest State Park) near Mt. Rainier. We will be leaving Arizona when the “All Clear” has been posted. So now since we will be a month behind, we won’t need to take our time heading north to Washington. We will take maybe 15 days instead of 30. We want to get there and start our hosting job. This is only if Washington does not shut down for even longer. The good thing is if our Washington host job falls through because of the COVID-19, Spooner Lake in Tahoe said we are welcome to go there for another Summer if they are open… Yaaaa, Love that place….If we can’t get to Washington, or Tahoe we will be without a host job for the summer. We are not sure where we will be.. This is such an uncertain time for everyone..
We have done some good stuff here at Arrowhead RV Park in Wellton, AZ, just outside of Yuma. We accomplished good things for the park and it was a great experience for us both. Now time to move on to some new places and new adventures. But we have to wait for now.
Mostly what I did was help the manager with projects or worked on weeding the cactus garden, worked on the park sprinkler system, helped clean the Recreation Center and two laundry rooms. Jodi had four bathrooms to clean, the Recreation Center and at first she was in the park office for the month, then broke away from the office to paint a big 6 Panel mural next to the office. 150 + hours of painting.. The before and after shots are down below..
Here are some details of a few panels she did.
Arizona is known for its sunsets and many beautiful places with rock formations and many other places to see. We want to visit other places in Arizona, but it will be a while before that happens. We still need to see the Grand Canyon..
So Jodi and I do hope all is well, stay safe and keep your distance from others and please stay healthy… We’ll keep you all posted on when and where we are heading when we know things are getting better, and we are moving on to our new adventures…
We would not mind hearing from some of you that are following us, how you all are doing?? Please let us know…. Thank you, all of you!!!

Hi Faye & Chris…Jodi here. Are you back in Durham? I recently came across the picture I took of Buddy with the bunny ears on. He sure was sweetheart…almost would pull my arm out of its socket walking him, but a truly sweet boy. Continue to be well.

Hey world travelers, Joe and Peg Wagner here:
Hope you are healthy, wealthy and fine as the saying goes.
All is well in the Woodwinds complex. I am on the board and we will be repairing siding, patios and painting a couple of more units.
If and when you leave Yreka Calif, (cool town), watch out that you maintain regular speed as on the right there are a couple of cop cars waiting for you. There is a downgrade out of town toward the border.
Glad you are having a BLAST. If you get tired, there are a couple of units for sale here.
Love, Kitty Caboose, Peg and Joe.

Hi guys! We’re glad to hear that Caboose is still around. 🙂 We’re not in Yreka, we’re in Yuma, AZ. Mark drives like an old lady so there are no worries about speeding tickets. (I’m glad he drives carefully). We hope you are both well. Good luck being on the board of the HOA. It would NOT be a preferred duty for me! I doubt we’d buy stix and brix on the east coast. We’ve fallen in love with the west. But we miss all of you!
Continue to be well. By the way, did I give you a picture (or 2) when we left? It was such chaos trying to clear out I lost track.
Take care. Jodi & Mark.

Hi Jodi,
I love getting your emails. Your adventures are wonderful. Your paintings are so cool and the pictures you both take are splendid!
I am glad you are staying safe and I hope you stay well!
I am retired from State Government and have been sheltering in place for a few months now. My neighborhood is like a little village. We look after one another, so all is well here.
I hope you find somewhere to go that will let you stay for a while.
Take care of yourselves.

Thanks, Ellie. Congratulations on your retirement. I’m glad you are safe, as well. I’m sure you must have at least one kitty keeping you company? I will forever remember our fun get togethers and silly chats. Thank you for staying in touch with us.
Jodi.
