Barrel Republic

Cooper and I are taking a break from our stint at Desert Trails to spend the week before Christmas with my sister and brother in Oceanside. Today we ventured out to a new-concept pour-your-own beer and wine bar/restaurant, Barrel Republic. You pour and pay for your beverages by the ounce. You have a device that measures the ounces […]

The front on this house opens mechanically and shows the inside.

This week we visit the Mini-Time Machine Miniature Museum.  What a treasure!  I have always been fascinated with miniatures, and at one time collected several Lilliput Lane buildings.( I loved those little houses!)  The museum was a labor of love created by members of the Tucson miniature collectors club, but primarily by Pat Arnell and […]

Home Is Where The RV is

Now that we are finally settled in, and have a bit of a routine established, we have started getting out to see and experience Tucson and Arizona.  We no longer have to spend our days looking for Safeway Grocery Stores which also sell gas, Trader Joes, dollar and thrift stores, where to get propane, Camping […]

Settling In at the Park

Memorial Labyrinth

When we have traveled on our own in the past, getting settled in was a simple as getting the grill started chairs out and a bottle of wine open. Settling in to RV life full time has taken a bit more time but making the space feel like our own has been fun. Now that […]

The King Tailgator

Who knew it was going to be this hard to tell you all about how this adventure is going? Desert Trails has free WiFi – sort of.  There are 6 different WiFi installations throughout the park, but with over 200 sites, and people with a lot of time on their hands, those closer to each […]

RVPark

Cooper and I have been RVing, as vacationers, for the past several decades, mostly for weekends and up to two or three weeks at a time. We even volunteered as campground hosts on Rabbit Ears Pass out of Steamboat Springs, CO, for three summers. We thought we knew (and had) all the equipment and knew […]

One Month In – Some Back Story

December 6, 2015January 8, 2016 Tracy Barnett News

A month ago, on November 7th, 2015, Cooper and I (Tracy) finally embarked on our 40 year dream to become full time RV dwellers. As newly-weds, back in 1975, we worked in an RV-ownership park in Hobart Mills, California, just outside of Truckee, near Lake Tahoe. We spent that summer in a tent, working as […]
