Comin' down

It has been a whirlwind week!
As everyone knows, we bought
our new home on Saturday,
a Keystone Montana 3700RL.


Since we pick it up SOON,
on October 1,
we had to find a place to
park it, and FAST!

We did some calling around,
mobile home parks,
friends were offering their driveways.
There are no campgrounds
within commute distance.

George had a bright idea...
if we get the flooded out
mobile home off the property,
we would have room to park it there.

So...
I quick posted an ad
on Craigslist,
for someone that wanted
all the scrap metal FREE.
George got 20 calls in 15 minutes!

A nice young man came
down and started going to town!


He said he would have it done
by the end of the week.
Good thing!
George has been looking
into getting all the hookups
needed to adapt to the RV.

This should be perfect
for us, since we own
the property anyway.

We just have to hang in there..
for 10 more months..
then we can pull outta there!

  1. See, we told you it would all work out for you. Driveway USA is a campground with the right price tag.

  9. Great idea. No campground fees while you get use to the 5th wheel and figure out all the flood stuff. 10 months will fly by.

  13. What a great idea, and you can move it if it gets threatened. Are you taking it to CA for the wedding?
