MWT – Trailer for sale or rent….

…..room to let for fifty cents….

01 Mike in the basement of new 5er Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

Must supply own blankets no indoor cooking or toilet facilities.

02 Basement (1024x394)

The “basement” storage goes from one side to the other with a door on each side.

03 Stuff from the basement of new 5er Yarnell AZ pano (1024x417)

Mike emptied the new RV’s basement today and inventoried all the stuff. Hoses, jacks, straps, drawer hardware, hoses, tire covers, lug wrench, plastic floor mats, trash can, hoses, insulation, and Mike’s favorite the expandable-handle leaf rake.

04 New & old 5ers Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

Still too much snow to go anywhere. But we have plenty of places to stay. In fact the old 5th-wheel is for sale if you’re interested.

In the mean time we are, King and Queen of the road.

Got the new home home, almost

Because a storm was headed our way Wed when we picked up the new RV we decided to stay a few days at a park in Apache Junction.

01 Last light on Superstition Mts under stormy sky from KOA Apache Junction AZ (1024x734)

Thurday’s last light on the Superstition Mts.

Glad we did as it rained all night and Thursday.

02 Sunset Apache Junction AZ (1024x670)

Friday’s sunset

The original plan was to go home Friday until we heard about the snow and freezing temperatures where we live. Not to mention the crazy New Years Eve traffic.

03 Snow on Superstition Mts from KOA Apache Junction AZ (1024x610)

Snow on the Superstition Mts.

Instead we went out for an early dinner and were asleep long before midnight. Then this morning dawned clear and cold.

04 Mike hooking up to new RV at KOA Apache Junction AZ (1024x519)

Even cold inside as we’d run out of propane during the night. Definitely time to go home.

05 Looking in side mirror at RV Hwy 74 W by Lake Pleasant AZ (768x1024)

And it just kept following us.

06 Snow on the Weaver Mts SR89 N Congress AZ (1024x768)

The last leg home is the Big climb up Yarnell Hill. The Weaver Mountains sure looked pretty with a white dusting. I held my breath almost all the way as the old truck pulled along at a whooping 27mph.

07 New RV stuck in snowy driveway Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

There is snow and this is as far as we go. At least for today anyway. Won’t be sleeping in it tonight, darn it.

Virtual RV tour

01 New home Apache Junction AZ (1024x768)

Had to wait over a week after looking at and deciding to buy this 5th-wheel. Felt like forever. When I get something new I want it NOW. So now I present the virtual RV tour.

02 Entrance into kitchen (768x1024)

Come on in

As most of you know, I’ve been living in an RV of one kind or another since 1996. All of them old, like 1970s or more.

03 Slides in kitchen & living room (768x1024)

Wait a minute the slides are still in, just let me push the button

04 Slides out kitchen & living room (768x1024)

Much roomier with the slides out 

I’ve wanted to upgrade ever since I got my first 5th-wheel in 2004. But you know how finances sometimes go.

05 Desk in living room (1024x768)

Desk and entertainment center slide

Right now I feel like Little Orphan Annie visiting the Big house. But don’t worry, I’m sure to get over that as my own stuff moves in. It still feels like a model home instead of my home.

06 Living room & table pano (1024x504)

Opposite slide

Due to lousy weather I had to kind of camp out in it at a KOA in Apache Junction. Rain there for 1 1/2 days and 8-10 inches of snow at home.

07 Kitchen (1024x768)

Now we’ll go upstairs

Ventured out Thursday and bought a few groceries.

08 Mike in bedroom (768x1024)

Although in a nice RV park I’m ready to get it home and really settle in.

09 Toilet room (768x1024)

On the right

Yet the weather seems against that. Not just gray skies but an ice coating on the Yarnell snow and it wasn’t getting any warmer.

10 Bedroom (1024x768)

Check out all those mirrors

So paid for another night and welcomed the new year in the new home.

11 shower (768x1024)

On the left

Was definitely asleep before the appointed hour.

12 Sink (768x1024)

On the right

Hope you enjoyed the tour.

13 Laundry chute under sink (1024x768)

Laundry chute under sink

Oh yea, and this was The final selling point!

I feel like I’ve really moved up in my RV world.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

My wheeleastate

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
