When we had completed the transfer of the required items from the motor home, to back inside the house, I got it parked under the shade cover, where it will sit for a month or so. We've been busy catching up with some maintenance chores, and in fact, Patty did a lot of house cleaning while I was in CA. Our yard needs a few plants replaced, but most all of our trees and shrubs withstood the brutal summer heat just fine.
As I have said before, when we're here in Lake Havasu, I'm not going to post on the blog everyday, like I do when we are traveling. It's not very interesting to write, or read about day to day activities while we're home. I will continue to post on an irregular basis, depending on what's happening in our lives, or, on what's happening here in town. The blog has taken on a life of it's own, and has become part of my daily or weekly routine. We recently had it converted into a book for the calendar year 2009. In a book format, it can be really interesting to follow our travels and adventures in a chronological, calendar order. We have often referred to the book to see where we were, or what we were doing on a particular date. I guess you might say that it is the ultimate travel journal. So, for now, I'll sign off, waiting for the next topic to come along, that begs for me to say something about.
THE TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES OF DAN AND PATTY CHANCE
About Me
- DAN
- VAIL (Tucson), Arizona
- Patty & I have been married for 33 great years, & have raised 3 children. Mike & Marc - mine. David - hers. We lost our beloved Beagle Sami in April, 2013, and our kitty Gracie in Sep. Since retiring from co-ownership of Jamestown Harley-Davdson in 2001, we have traveled all over the U.S. in 2 different motor homes. In 2002 and 2003, we traveled the N.H.R.A. Drag Race circuit, pulling the Harley-Davidson, Screaming Eagle merchandise trailer. In the summers of 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007, Patty worked retail and I drove a tour bus in Skagway, Alaska. The summer of 2008, I worked as a supervisor for the Glacier National Park transit system in N.W. Montana. During the summer of 2009, we decided to travel, and completed a 5 and 1/2 month, 12,000 mile loop around the U.S. and Canada. During the summer of 2010, we traveled mostly in the Pacific Northwest states of Oregon & Washington. We spent the summers of 2011 & 2012, working at the Grand Canyon, where I drove a transit bus, and Patty worked in the General Store. The winters have mostly been spent at our home in Lake Havasu City. We recently relocated the home base to Tucson, AZ.
