Geogypsy and the three RVs

3 RVs sunset La Posa S BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZSort of feeling like Goldilocks but with three RVs, one too big, one too small, and one just right.  I’ll start with a little backstory and lots of links if you need to catch up.  Then share a before and after tour of the new-to-me Class C RV.

sunset clouds La Posa South BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZSunset from Quartzsite camp

I’ve owned my 36-foot 5th-wheel for 12 years, living in it primarily during summers while working as a seasonal Park Ranger.  I didn’t buy it to travel in.  Instead I traveled many winters in a variety of slide-in truck campers, the most recent one I used last summer.

Then, September 15th the truck-camper burned completely and I lost my precious kitty Sierra.  After a month of traveling with Hannah’s caravan I felt desperate to have my own bed on wheels again.

bus & 5er La Posa South BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZSo I bought a small 4-window shuttle bus with a “no-build build” that was livable, though not my ideal.

Chocolate Mts sunset clouds La Posa South BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZEnded up in Quartzsite Arizona at the BLM LTVA La Posa South for the winter.  Sure not my usual way to winter.  After I had the 5th-wheel towed to Quartzsite I spent almost two months getting everything out of it.  I had too much stuff!  Many of you probably do too.

As I started to settle in to the little bus I continued to search local classified ads (Facebook Market Place) for a Class C RV, early 2000s, 24-26 feet long, no slide-outs, with solar, and low mileage under $20k.  I looked every night.  January is all about RVs in Quartzsite.  So I figured it would be a great place to sell and possibly buy.  Sure enough.  January 5th, I saw a Class C for sale that checked more than all my boxes.  Located only half a mile from my camp, I was the first to look at this new listing.

My offer was made and accepted Friday afternoon and Monday we took care of business.   OMG!  I now owned three RVs.

Eric, the seller,also known as the Nomadic Fanatic on YouTube, seems to change RVs almost as frequently as I have.  This is #16 for me over 48 years of wheeleastate.

Monday, we drove 1 1/2 hours to Buckeye for the nearest BofA where we both bank.  I drove the RV and it handled great but the pavement on Interstate 10 is awful, more potholes than pavement.

Parking was tricky near the bank but Eric guided me into a couple of corner spaces.  I have to get used to be longer again.  The banking went smoothly.

Made a quick run into a large Goodwill right across the street from the bank.  I didn’t buy anything because I didn’t know what I needed yet.

Two half gallons of my favorite ice cream, pizza, meat, fruit, and vegetables. Then we drove back and made it before dark.

So I moved again.  But first I cleaned.  I’m not a clean freak.  However…  I call the dust velvet, cobwebs silk threads, it’s my dirt and I live with it.  The point being, MY dirt not somebody elses.

This next move seemed to be quicker as I was more motivated, and had less to move with space to put it.  To save photo overload I’ll only share some of the before and after new-to-me RV pics.  For more check out this RV tour video.

Then I waited, and waited some more, trying to sell too big and too small.  Showed the 5th-wheel several times yet the only offers were half my asking price.  Then mid-January a lady from Yuma walked in and lit up like I had when first seeing the inside of this spacious well-lit RV.  Done deal.  Did have to wait two weeks for her to organize moving out of her current permanently parked RV and finding transport for the new one.  No big deal.  It wasn’t going anywhere.

RV rainbow Pilot Know BLM LTVA Felicity CAHowever, I was, at least for a few days.  I really needed a break from Quartzsite and moving.  So I went to Yuma about an hour away for some shopping, visiting a friend, and camped just across the border at another BLM LTVA called Pilot Knob in Felicity California, the center of the world.

2024 So much more!

tie die t-shirtThough 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.

Mc milkshakeAs 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.

Tim & Gaelyn tie shirts La Posa South BLM camp Quartzsite AZTim and I modeling Christmas tie-dye

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).

sunset window reflection 5er La Posa S BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZYes, 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.

sunset clouds La Posa South BLM LTVA Quartzsite AZFirst 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.

Tioga Class C RV for sale La Posa South Quartzsite AZAfter 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!

Company blown into camp Kofa

desert Kofa Mts sunrise clouds BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaAfter weeks of camping solo, only talking to myself and Sierra, with barely neighbors in sight, several friends contacted me about coming to camp Kofa for at least one or two nights along their travels.  I felt happy for the company and had several days to prepare.

new neighbor Liam too close BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaNot sure if someone parking too close is considered company.  Saturday afternoon a small SUV drove by, turned around, and parked what I call too close at about 50-75 feet.  Still there in the morning, a young man camping out of his vehicle.  He walked past into the desert and when returning I stepped outside and told him about Palm Canyon trail two miles up the road.  He was interested so we chatted.  Turned out that Liam, from Oregon, was on his second day out and first experience boondocking.  I told him he was too close but had done the right thing by not driving over vegetation and parking by a rock fire ring.  He thought it was a “campsite” so I filled him in on BLM public land camping.

After chatting for at least an hour I went back inside for my camera and when I came back out, he was gone.  Actually, he’d moved much further away.  I was reminded of my first road trip 45 years ago at 22 years old in a hatch-back Vega.  I mostly stayed in forest campgrounds with at least a picnic table and outhouse.  Don’t know if anybody was boondocking in the 1970s like we do now.  But we all were newbies at some time.

dusty sunset BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaThe next two days were predicted for strong Southwest wind.  Pretty steady 30mph with gusts up to 50mph kept me indoors.  In fact, there were times I couldn’t have opened my south facing door.  The rocking eventually got old, like being in a rocking chair and can’t get up.  Even the Saguaros were rocking.  I watched a Prairie Falcon soar for several minutes.

window view flag BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaI think the wind may have blown some people away.  Most of the vehicles within sight left so there were no landmarks to guide in my first company to camp Kofa.  Doris worked at the North Rim several of the same summers as I yet we hadn’t seen each other in many years.  Originally from Germany, she has lived in the US over 20 years working many different mostly seasonal jobs, traveling around and currently living in a van.  Following my directions she pulled into camp Kofa about 4pm and we spent the evening catching up inside my camper and out of the still brutal wind.

desert Kofa Mts low clouds BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaDoris left in the morning and I considered leaving as well.  It was just a little past the usual two-week mark for needing propane, a necessity for refrigerator, stove, and heat.   Weather was deteriorating with prediction of rain and overnight low of 34°.

desert Kofa Mts low clouds BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaAll day the clouds danced.  The 50° day had me running heat and watching the propane level drop until it was precariously low and I knew I had to go.

desert Chocolate Mts clouds BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaCalled Shady Lane RV Park about 3:15pm to make sure there was a site and told them I’d try to make it before the office closed at 4pm.

driving into storm SR95 North ArizonaPacked and on the road while the storm rolled towards me from the north.

sunset clouds Shady Lane RV Park Quartzsite ArizonaMade it to the park in 30 minutes.  My usual space was taken so parked on the opposite side of the park, conveniently near a newly renovated bathroom with awesome shower, and the laundry room.  Very nice to be plugged into electricity for a heater and the fridge and stop stressing about running out of propane.

Driving out from camp Kofa I measured the distances in hopes of better directions to my next company.  1.2 miles from pavement, including .4 from the gas line road, to the left turn followed by right, left, and right, left, right .4 miles.  Then I just hoped nobody was in my preferred camp Kofa location when I returned.  Before leaving Shady Lane, I did laundry plus the bi-monthly dump and fill.  Then filled the propane tanks before shopping in Blythe 30 minutes away.  Returned to camp Kofa and pulled in to the same tire tracks by 3:30pm.  At 5pm Trish called from where I could see her parked along Palm Canyon Road, beyond her first turn.  She managed to turn around and I talked her in to camp Kofa without having to physically lead her in.  She’s been traveling extensively for five months towing her little trailer, staying with friends and state park campgrounds.  But this was only her second boondock, her first last year with me.  We chatted for a bit and went in after dark.  Tom didn’t arrive until about 7pm and after making the first turn off Palm Canyon Road I told him to park and I’d see them in the morning.  No way I was going out into the cold wind to guide him in under the dark sky.

I’d seen Tom’s headlights so knew he was on the right track.  In the morning he could see me in the distance and drove right in to camp Kofa.  First question was did he plan to run a generator, and if so he couldn’t park close to Trish or me.  He’d planned to bake a pre-made lasagna in his microwave/convection oven that would require the generator.  I volunteered to bake it in my quiet propane oven instead.  Problem solved.  I met Tom many years ago while working on the North Rim Grand Canyon.  He’s a well-traveled photographer who sometimes travels in his RV.  We’ve met in other places before.  I had not met his most recent travel companion Tracy.

Tom & Tracy vendor Quartzsite ArizonaAfter some visiting and lunch, all but Trish loaded into Tom’s toad-car for a tourist trip to Quartzsite, Tracy’s first visit.  The end of February is not particularly “prime” Quartzsite but there’s still a few vendors at Tyson Wells.  Besides, Tracy is recovering from a broken leg and wearing a brace so walking needed to be easy and limited.  We made another stop at the historic Hi Jolly memorial and cemetery in town.

historic closed fuel station The Camel Stop Quartzsite ArizonaTom’s sharp eye caught sight of an old car half hidden behind a building, so he pulled off the main street and parked in front of the pumps.  Sort of like a museum but not open and nobody around.

desert Kofa Mts clouds BLM Palm Canyon Rd Kofa National Wildlife Refuge ArizonaBack to camp briefly then out for a drive on Palm Canyon Road for the pre-sunset golden light on the glowing Cholla cactus.  More of them grow on the rocky slope at the foot of the Kofa Mountains.  Gorgeous to look at but nasty to be around.  Once back to camp I baked the lasagna and we all ate in Tom’s rig with the biggest table.

incomplete coloring pageIn the morning Trish pulled out at ten on her way to Palm Springs.  Tom and Tracy left 30 minutes later on their way to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.  I settled in for a quiet day at camp Kofa knowing more company was coming the next day.

Gayle drove right past the turn off and me before calling.  I advised to continue no more than a mile to the refuge boundary for an easy turn around then directed her in towing a car behind her motor home.  At 82, this fiddle-playing lady is an inspiration.  Been a couple years since we’d seen each other at the Fiddle Festival in Ajo.  Time seems to slip away when visiting with friends and I never remember to take photos.

She managed to get out of camp Kofa before noon only going an hour away near Yuma.  If I continue to expect company to remote places like camp Kofa, maybe I should carry a bag of brightly painted, fist-sized, rocks to set out, and retrieve, guiding them in.  You know, all this coming and going has got me to thinking maybe I should go somewhere too.

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…
