Home Again!

Well we made it home again. Back in good ol Montrose, Co. Getting home there is so much to do. Laundry, appointments, and ugh! THE STACK OF MAIL!!! But we are wading our way thru it all and slowly making progress. I still don't have the photos gone thru and posted yet. I've been too busy with everything else on my list. I will get it done eventually. I hope to get them out on Walgreens web site so that if you want a copy of one of them you can just order it and your local store will have it ready for you the next time you happen to be out running errands.

We will be here until May 14 or so as we are leaving again to go see my son Joseph John Gross, graduate from college on the 15th. I am so excited for him! And worried too with this economy. He is graduating with a degree in Construction Management but projects just aren't getting funding so no one can hire, plus every job he goes after there are guys going after the same jobs who have 5-15 years experience that he doesn't have yet. So keep the kid in your prayers.

After the graduation we are hoping to be able to go north from Fort Collins to see Yellowstone, but we are not positive of those plans just yet. We are also hoping to take Erick's grandson Ryan Dean with us so he can see all the animals. He is 4 now so that should be fun.

Hello Family and Friends, 

This week you will find us at Davis Monthan AFB in Tucson. It was just dumb luck that we arrived during Heritage Days which is a time when they fly the newest planes in formations with some of the oldest ones they have restored on base. It has been turely impressive! Another impressive thing here is they fitness facility. They must have at least one of each and every type of exercise equipment known to man, and there is never a wait to use any of it. The entire facility is immaculately clean and well run. Just a joy to go work out.

Next we head to Gilbert Ray; it is a small campground in the Saguaro National Monument area. It is so quiet and will be a welcome reprieve! We will stay there for about 4 days or so while we visit the National Monument and the Desert Museum. I had hoped to catch the desert in bloom for photography purposes but we are too early and they have not had enough rain down this way to cause the superior blooming of the desert. I guess I'll just have to come back and try to photograph the flowers another year...Then we head off toward Sierra Vista and Fort Huachuca and Tombstone. We are also hoping to see Kartchner Caverns as well. 

Please know that we are safe and having a wonderful time down here in the warm Arizona winter. We got a phone call today from a friend telling us that it rained and then snowed 4-6 inches last night causing a icey mess for everyone this morning. I thought how lucky we are to be able to miss that this year! 

Today we worked on getting the solar panels installed onto the roof of the motor home. Next Erick will work on getting them wired in so they can charge the batteries and we won't have to use the generator.  

On the Road Again

As of March 1st we will be on the road again. We are moving from Apache Junction to Davis Montham AFB to dry camp for a bit. We hope to be able to take photos of the desert in bloom at the Sonoran Desert Museum. We'll try to get some of the photos of it on here if we can get things to work properly.

Superstition Mountains

Photos of the Superstition Mountains. Kinda pretty, Huh?

Hello and Welcome to our Blog!

This is the blog of Jackie Carbon-Goff and Erick Goff. It is created for our families and friends so they can keep an eye on us so to speak as we travel in our motor home. Last summer we purchased a Winnebago Adventurer 37G. We're taking our first trip south for the winter in it this year. Our traveling companion is Miss Sophie. She is an Australian Silky Terrier we adopted about a year ago. She is adjusting quite well to this traveling lifestyle.
