We Sold Our Park Model

After 62 days on the market (which seemed like an eternity), we sold our Park Model to a California couple.

After 6 years we have some great memories here, but it was time to move on . . . almost all of the friends we knew at the park have left, and it ain’t getting any cheaper to stay at Crazy Horse.

Our next door neighbor is letting us stay in their place (L-33) for a few weeks.

By the way, those long cardboard boxes are a Thuma bed (https://www.thuma.co/).

Anyway, moving our stuff right next door was ideal and easy. Park model L-33 where we’re staying has a great porch setup . . .

. . . and it has an upstairs loft which — because of the height — is like a bedroom for five-year-olds.

And the sunsets are as good as ever . . .

COMING SOON: Where are we headed next?

The XXth Annual Something-Something Festival

Today the XXth Annual Something-Something Festival comes to an end.

In LHC there are typically three types of fests: water, sand, auto. This festival was water. Muffler-castrated jet skis raced in the early morning hours so that their owners might claim a victory that would last until the next XXth Annual Something-Something Festival.

I believe the YYth Annual Sand-Something Festival is fast approaching. Though it’s nearby and therefore really loud, I like this sand fest. The vehicles raise clouds of choking sand that piss off the new residents in the center of the island — people who have spent fortunes on densely-packed huge houses. Love it.

By the way . . .

Our park model is for sale.

It’s Not 116 Today

85 Degrees

But it is windy . . .

Sand Storm!

Looks Fierce

About 6:30 pm MST, we spotted a line of strong storms approaching from the east — very unusual as most storms go west to east.

Anyway, we were looking forward some thunder, lightning, and so on. No such luck. Turned out to be strong winds blowing sand around and a haboob south of us. Cough, cough. Holy Dustbowl, Batman.

Previously that afternoon . . .

Our 19-gallon water heater leaked itself to death. Luckily we were in our park model when the leaking started. Plumbers are coming out tomorrow afternoon. Do I hear $500? We’ll see.

Well, it is 16 years old

We’re Back!

Lake Havasu City in August (and June, July, and a lot of September)

We took a side trip to Mariposa, CA (more on this later) on our way and at a campground on our way made this film of Flirt . . .
