Where to NOW??

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!!!

Please be safe and stay healthy

Stay healthy and we will update you when we can..

Update of Castle Dome

So the last post was of Castle Dome mine museum. Well, another host position bites the DUST, or is gone with the wind here in Yuma, AZ.. To let you know we are doing fine at another host location in Yuma, just 53 miles from Castle Dome. We had to leave Castle Dome Mine Museum due to the owner not being totally up front with us when we inquired about the host position about 3 months ago. It’s a long story, but just wanted to say, we left after 30 days. It again did not work out for us. IE; the power situation, working situation and was taken advantage of.. So we left.

We are now working at a RV park that is for folks that are 55 and over. Arrowhead RV Park, Wellton, AZ. There are some RV sites, but mostly permanent park models. There are about 13 RV sites open for people who want to stay for a short while. Nice place. A lot of Snowbirds come here for the winter. What’s sort of funny is that we may be the youngest couple here. We are one of 3 couples hosting here. We do TWO 5 hour days of work and 5 days off. What else could we ask for? Oh, did I tell you the park has a Jacuzzi, a heated pool, exercise room, darts, pool table, horse shoe pit, shuffleboard, pickle ball and a 9 hole putt putt course. A nice quiet retirement community. We were fortunate that Jodi did a lot of calling around for us to just to find a place to stay for the winter here in Yuma, and we did, but at the same time, the new managers at this RV park asked if we wanted to work while here for the next 3 months. Fun Fun and staying warm too…

We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to come… Stay safe and warm for all you people who have lots of snow…

Bobble Head Travelers, Mark & Jodi

Happy New Year 2020
