Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
We will see you in January. We are in Oregon, currently waiting for parts in Eugene. We will be in California and maybe Nevada from late October into early January, since we will be spending the holidays with family in California.

Barb - we'll be there off and on in Nov/Dec, we have the Tempe Fall Festival of the Arts in December, we also have a week planned at Usery Mountain. Would love to get a chance to meet you.
Bill- not sure how we keep doing this but we'll be exiting CA in late Oct. headed to AZ and then heading to So Cal in January. One of these days we'll catch up as we pass each other down the road.
Like Bill, we'll be back in CA (Placerville) for Nov/Dec for holidays with the family. Then we'll be mosey-ing our way across southern AZ Jan - Mar. The month of Feb we'll mostly be in Surprise/Phoenix area taking care of Steve's family. Then March we'll be in an RV Park in Apache Junction. Would love to meet up with you and others.
"we also have a week planned at Usery Mountain" - One of our favorite places to stay for a few nights. A great place to put out bird feeders, which many campgrounds ban, but Usery encourages.
We will be visiting family in the Clear Lake area for Christmas and Halloween. It will be interesting to see the fire damage, since they did evacuate during the fires and there was damage near the house and very, very close to work. Tentatively we will be in at least Redlands CA, Hesperia CA, Martinez CA and Las Vegas NV between visits. We can play it by ear, since there is little problem getting campsites in November and December.
New Years in Hesperia and then Val Vista Village in Mesa for 3 months. We will be a couple campground streets away from Barb and Dave. Diane will be spending lots of time with her quilting buddies.
Meeting up would be great.

Usery Mountain is an awesome place for bird watching, loved those "peach cheeked love birds" and the hiking in the park is nice. Our Feb schedule is still TBD, dependent upon art shows so we may be back in the Fountain Hills area for part of our winter.
Remember that in Val Vista they reuse numbers, so there can be #59 or #199 in the main section, Fiesta and Ranchos. We are supposed to be in Fiesta #157 when we arrive.

Figured it was you when you said dog park. We're in F-315. Got the motorhome unloaded today. Saw your rig as we went over to Giant Hamburger for dinner.
