Cornville Arizona, Back Home Again

We had an OK time in Quartzsite this year. With the storms that hit at night it made it so Dave couldn't go do any playing around in the desert with the jeep. We were able to get our sun shade fixed while there, and just finished our interview with The Adventureland when another wind storm hit and everyone had to evacuate the tent area. We did get hired so we will be leaving for Des Moines, Iowa on May 10th, have to be there by the 16th because there is a meeting on the 17th for everyone. Last day of work is September 26th, if we stay until then it will only cost us $165.00 for parking in the RV Park the whole time. The scary thing is if we like it and want to do it every summer Kim or Madison will kill us because that would mean we would always miss Madison's b/day. We look at this as an adventure, we will get to new states we haven't been to yet and see more of the USA. We got to do it now before we get too old. At The Adventureland Dave and I will be ride operators, In May they are only open on weekends. June, July and August 7 days a week and open until 10pm, then in September it is only weekends again until September 26th which is the last day of operations.

We left Quartzsite and drove to Bakersfield on January 23rd. Went to Kim's everyday and even watched Madison a couple times. Madison got a runny nose while we were there and Kim managed to catch it, it hit Kim pretty hard but Madison's cleared up. Luckily Dave and I didn't catch it this time. We left Bakersfield on the 28th and stopped that night in Quartzsite, spent the night and hit the road at 7am back in Cornville at 11:30. Got the RV all unpacked and that afternoon we put the RV back in storage at 1000 Trails. We won't get it back out again until May when we hit the road for Bakersfield then on to Iowa.

Judy, across the street from us, is going to make us up a list of things to see and do while we are in Iowa. Judy and Marty are from there and drive back quite often, their daughter and family still live there.

We are debating now if we should rent out our house while we are gone. The rental company we use handles furnished vacation homes, still just not sure yet. Dave will talk to Tricia and see what it entails.
Posted new pictures, go under our photos, there are 3 new sets. Our trip to Mexico, Christmas and Las Vegas and Bakersfield.
