Future plans...




Our Location: Quail Ridge RV Park, Huachuca City,AZ
 
It seems the rain has finally stopped and things are starting to dry out once again. Some very sunshine filled days of late with a cool breeze that reminds us that spring while approaching still hasn't really arrived. 
 
This caught my eye, it is parked among a variety of trailers. Very cute, I think my buddy Ron would like this!!
 
 
Very few photos as I've photographed many things in this park before and to post the same photos would be tiring I'm sure. All of today's photos were taken in the park with my phone.
 
 
 Big Agave plants in this park.
 
 
With all the dire warnings in the media I thought I would just give you all an update on our plans. Our plans are to return home as scheduled around mid April. Except for a few minor differences such as more hand washing, more diligent cleaning of surfaces, we really aren't doing much different. We aren't big on mixing in crowds, we don't go out much to eat, we don't order take out very often and so we've now determined we won't be eating out or taking out at all. Our biggest risk is when we do the necessities, such as fuel, groceries, and propane. We are more diligent about doors, surfaces and such that others may have touched/handled. Washing, sanitizing and just good common sense go a long way to avoiding even a common cold. However we would encounter the same risks no matter where we are located. So we really don't see any benefit to hurrying home to Ontario. We will be meeting our friends Ron & Sharon again this year but truly don't feel we would be at any greater risk than we are currently.

For those that have met Riley, you all know she's pretty tall, she's around the 5'11" mark, that gives you some idea of how tall the agave plant is beside her. This is NOT the biggest one in the park.


This is just our own view, everyone is entitled to an opinion. We must each do what we feel is right for ourselves. Whatever you decided to do, I wish you good health, good luck and safe travels. Wash, disinfect, and cover up when you cough or sneeze, use good common sense and stop buying all the toilet paper. An interesting thing I noticed at Walmart, less toilet paper on the shelves than facial tissue/kleenex. Now that is surprising to me. 

This one is taller than the one above but in the bushes it's hard to get to close to.


Until next time...take care, be safe, stay healthy, 

I took this photo while waiting for a nice gentleman to come fill my propane tanks. As you can see from the water puddles it's rained a fair bit here. I love the mountains in the background, it was the whole reason for the photo.

  1. Glad to hear from you Deb. That is one big Agave. Glad you are sticking to plans. I agree you are safer in the desert. Still too cold to head north. Enjoy the easy life.:))

    1. Lots of big Agave's in this park. We've changed our plans and will be heading home in the morning. Cold is something we will have to bundle up against and hopefully we will be no more than a week getting to Ontario. Stay safe and healthy Doug.

      Take care, be safe,

  2. Keeping yourselves away from crowds is half the battle but your plan looks like it should keep you Safe.
    Enjoy the beauty around you.

    It's about time.

    1. I agree Rick, keeping to ourselves is what we normally do anyway, and even in the park we haven't socialized at all. A week on the road and we will hopefully be knocking on the border into Ontario.

      Take care, be safe,

    1. I also whole-heartedly agree, it is what we are sticking to. Nothing says after arriving home (whatever the date) that any of us could then contact the virus. We may as well be in the warmer temps as long as we planned and deal with any quarantine issues after we cross. Stay safe and healthy you two!

    2. Like you folks, Riley and I have changed our plans due to the border situation. Hopefully we will be just a couple of days behind you folks. Continued safe travels, good health and stay warm.

      Take care, be safe,

    1. Thanks Folks. We've taken all the new information into consideration and have changed our plans. We are heading home toward the border and hope to make it in a week. It's a bit cold and it will be colder when we reach Ontario but we both think it's a the right choice for us.

      Take care, be safe,
      Deb

  6. Great shot of the mountains. I recognize that view...:)
    Sounds like you have a good plan in place for traveling back to Ontario. It is all about common sense as far as we are concerned. We had to make some changes but those changes were based on just that. Safe travels and stay safe.

    1. We too are heading home, although we'll be a couple of days behind you. Our insurance company hasn't reneged on the original dates. Safe travels, good health, hopefully we all have good travel weather and that it's warm in Ontario.

      Take care, be safe,
      Deb
