Though I started the new year with a head cold, I determined to make 2024 so much more. Needed to turn around negative thoughts, get past the past, move on with life as it should be, and buy yet another RV.
As usual, I didn’t greet 2024 at midnight. Instead I spent the first couple days sniveling with a head cold and coughing with a sore throat. Tim came back from town with a chocolate Mc milkshake that felt fine chilling down.

Third day into 2024 I took my first (decent) photo of the new year. Desert sunsets are often superb, and what better present for a tribe member’s birthday celebration around the campfire. I went to the gathering but stayed away from people and left very early.

Felt well enough the next day to drive 45 minutes to Parker with Tim for supplies. Grocery stores in Quartzsite are limited and pricey. That night I saw an ad on the Facebook Quartzsite Marketplace for a Class C motorhome that seemed worthy of looking at. Turns out, Tim knows the seller, Eric is known as the Nomadic Fanatic on his YouTube channel (check him out).
Yes, I already had a 5th-wheel listed for sale. And I recently bought a shuttlebus but it wasn’t really what I wanted other than an adequate bed on wheels. January is the month of “all things RV” in Quartzsite, so it’s a good place to buy and sell.
First thing the next morning I contacted him, located about half a mile from me. It’s the first wheelestate seen since the fire that I’ve gotten excited about and the price was right. It more than checked all my boxes. But, do I want to own three Rvs?

Over the weekend I worked on the fire video. Very difficult to relive, yet felt like a necessity. I’ll never forget, but time to move on.
After waiting out the weekend, Erik and I took a 1 1/2 hour drive to Buckeye, the nearest bank we both use, to notarize the title and make the deal. What a great way to make 2024 so much more!
Tour of new RV coming soon.
