Every spare minute I've had since I worked on the roof, has been plagued by rain. I did get a chance during one of the breaks in the precipitation to add some temporary patches to the roof, in hopes they will hold till the weather turns better. So while I was waiting for the break in the weather, I began work on the inside of the motor home.

Happy Camping from "The Grand Canyon State of Arizona" and from the Housholder family to yours, "Welcome" to Boondocking in Arizona, your DVD video guide to thousands of FREE RV Camping locations across this great state. If you are planning a winter trip to the warm desert around Quartzsite or a cool summertime excursion to see the Grand Canyon, if you are a native who enjoy's the Boondocking lifestyle, these video's are made just for you!
Each DVD will save you thousands of dollars in overnight accommodations and have been made exclusively for the RV'ing crowd. Best of all our award winning DVD's include not only the choicest FREE overnight boondocking locations, but also are packed with wholesome family activities, fantastic hiking trails, intense backroading adventures, hidden swimming holes, cool clear mountain fishing lakes, historic treasures, delicious diners and cafe's and beautiful nature photography. They show you easy descriptions of how and where to set up base camps nearby the best attractions Arizona has to offer.
For example: "WE SAVED ALMOST $2000.00!" On Memorial Day weekend in 2008, the single busiest of the entire year at the Grand Canyon, with a Troop of Boy Scouts (well over 20 in our group), we stayed for FREE with two trailers and six tents, near a wonderful location close to the South Rim entrance of the canyon as found in DVD number three. This secret spot, was only two miles away from civilization. For three nights we paid nothing! Yes, ZERO! Our only expense was for hot showers at a campground for just $2.00 per person! Our location was fantastic, quite and far from the noise of the regular tourist traffic. Normally, if you have never tried to reserve a hotel room at the Grand Canyon for a popular holiday weekend, you must pay top dollar, and do so at least 4 to 6 months in advance, otherwise you will hear; "I'm sorry we are all sold out!" Good luck waiting with others on a possible cancellation and have fun driving over 65 miles to Williams or Flagstaff to secure a room.
Now lets say you were a group of 20 who planned early enough and paid for 5 hotel rooms with four people in each room for 3 nights. What would that cost? Lets do the math: 5 basic rooms X $120.00 each night (quite possibly much more for 4 people) = $600.00 X 3 nights is a whopping $1,800.00 not including an additional $100.00 in taxes verses FREE! A Boy Scout Troop would have to save up lots of money for that or pay the cost of $29.95 for the priceless information found only in these DVD's!

I WILL find the reason behind my extreme fatigue! Lots of tests this week. In the middle of being treated for shortness of breath, heart problems and anxiety my sister texts me for more information on my FLeetwood Bounder that I am selling.
Priorities.. I understand. I called her back and put the high pressure buy now or in the next 48 hours and I will throw in a lot of items.
One of my top most favorite days of winter beaching. We had so much fun. A few moments appeared dangerous, and that is what makes these videos so entertainng, however, it was much safer than summer swimming with all those currents. Just enjoy and oh yeah.. they were not allowed to swear however, I had to let it slide.
I love the drama and beauty of Lake Superior. It has given me many gifts. It holds my tears, fears and some of my gear! (cell phone, point and shoot camera etc..) I shot this from my IPhone yesterday. Sorry I didn't have my high def video camera. Just starting to post the reasons i am leaving. Sadly but glady.
looking at the part and the catfish lake (pond)
one of the lakes, I call it a pond.
This is just one minutes of the 2009 14 July fireworks on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
You can see 10 minutes of the 2008 fireworks on the Paris apartment rent website.
Enjoy.

This is a video of me trying to get the hitch to lock on to the ball of my truck. Sometimes it will pass over easily and other times it will jam up when the ball rubs against it. I found that it will go over easier if I pull the release lever all the way up while lowering onto the ball.
