Plus, you aren't taking up MY space at an RV park with 50 amp electric!!! :) Have a great time in the desert, Al. And keep showing us those fabulous pics you take of the beauty you are enjoying.Margie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-27986624875719424632010-02-14T21:51:37.597-05:002010-02-14T21:51:37.597-05:00I think I'm half way between boondocking and R...I think I'm half way between boondocking and RV Parks. I volunteer on National Wildlife Refuges. I have full hookups and plenty of solitude (if I want it) and wildlife to boot. Now if they would just install a heated pool for volunteers, it would be perfect! :) Different strokes for different folks.........Travels with Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411769980205792011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-38881475384784807192010-02-14T13:57:20.544-05:002010-02-14T13:57:20.544-05:00Al, I'm so happy to see you took my comments p...Al, I'm so happy to see you took my comments positively, as I knew you would because that's the kind of guy you are. I'm glad we can both have an honest exchange of opinions and appreciate each others view. And, don't forget, just keep a piece of 2 x 4 handy o.k., for those occasions when I need a whack across the side of the head as a reminder - in fact, you might need a couple of 2 x 4's.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-45683212332691178872010-02-14T12:34:21.355-05:002010-02-14T12:34:21.355-05:00I just have to agree with your statement about RVe...I just have to agree with your statement about RVers are a rare breed and are the best people to hang around.

It is not only between boondocking or campground, but also about the campground type, the length of stay, the activities in the campground and the list goes on and on. <br />Whether you are a FTer, a Snowbird or just a Weekender, your goals could be very different. Peace of mind, Follow the sun, Explore the creation, enjoy family time are just a few to name. <br />With all those differences, still there is a lot in common among us, RVers, and generally speaking this is a great group of people that I am very proud to be part of.<br /><br />Thanks Al for a great idea, and great time together. We liked it very much, and I am sure our ways will cross again!Mottyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905245750531969188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-15376454757307186282010-02-14T11:35:09.353-05:002010-02-14T11:35:09.353-05:00In Rick's comment above he is absolutely corre...In Rick's comment above he is absolutely correct in what he says & I'm glad my old blogger friend reached out & tapped me a good one on the end of the nose about my opinions.

Boondocking is terrific for those that enjoy the wild and the wilderness, but it's not for everyone, including me. I happen to like shore power and water and the ability to go for a nice long swim in a beautiful pool every day. <br /><br />To me, it has absolutely nothing to do with socializing etc. as I rarely, if ever, attend any of the "organized fun" events you mention. I've always found boring when I'm home and the same goes for when I'm on the road. I can and do, however, find all of the privacy and solitude I want right here in my RV Park of 450 sites - it's relatively easy. <br /><br />You love boondocking in the desert and that's great - we'd be miserable!! We enjoy driving out into the desert to spend some time hiking, exploring or just looking around but after that, we're more than happy to head back to the comforts of our RV Park for the night.<br /><br />I don't give a whit one way or the other how many RV'ers boondock, or how many stay in RV parks, it's entirely up to them. I'm very happy and comfortable with my RV'ing lifestyle and I'm really glad you are with yours. Cheers, Al - hope to see you and Kelly real soon!Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-199363078880212010-02-14T10:41:46.336-05:002010-02-14T10:41:46.336-05:00We wish we coulda been there, but as you know, we ...We wish we coulda been there, but as you know, we have taken on the jobs, committees, agendas all your other friends have dropped out of. We may drop out of these things again, but not for a while. If somebody were to buy us a set of solar panels and a bunch of batteries and the capacity to carry all that stuff, maybe we'd drop out sooner! Glad you had a good time with the other desert rats! If we'd been there, we've brought cowboy cookies!Jerry and Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381487159402842587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-30525408255529656842010-02-14T09:14:39.702-05:002010-02-14T09:14:39.702-05:00It looks like your last minute gathering turned ou...It looks like your last minute gathering turned out well and everyone looked to be relaxed and enjoying themselves. <br /><br />You are absolutely right about the RVing bunch being extremely genuine, down to earth folks. We have met so many wonderful people on our travels. In a world filled with scams, hidden agendas and poker faces its very difficult to meet a decent person out here. But RVers are all like minded and stay away from the drama of todays society. That's why we ditched our possessions and headed out to hide in the deserts and forests for some peace, tranquility and what WE consider to be "the norm". We don't care about fancy clothing, makeup and hairdos. We get down to what matters, the human soul.Freely Living Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07598090032252426157noreply@blogger.com
