These pictures show our current location at the Bend/Sunriver Thousand Trails Preserve. This is a heavily treed park, and it took some doing to find the TV satellites through all of the growth. The FMCA rally in Redmond starts tomorrow, and we'll be pulling out of here on Saturday the 14th.
We looked at some more land parcels for sale yesterday, and after much debate, decided that the cons outweigh the pros, regarding the purchase of a piece of property. As much as I would like a piece of dirt to develop, it probably isn't a good idea, at least not right know. We really enjoy our ability to move around, staying in an area for up to 2 weeks, then moving on to the next destination. One of our fears is that if we owned some acreage, it would be like a magnet, and would detract from what we enjoy doing. I also know that there would be lots of expensive projects, like a garage/metal building, fencing, and countless other ways to severely impact the budget. Then, with any improvements, there's always the worry of a problem developing while you're away. As it is right now, we only have to worry about the Lake Havasu house during the summer, and with our great neighbors, Tony & Michelle, there really isn't much worry at all. Just last week, there was a small problem with one of our roof tiles due to wind, and after Michelle called us, she got someone to come out and fix the problem. Just knowing that someone is looking after the house is very comforting. Thanks Michelle! I don't think this is the final period on the issue, and we may be kicking ourselves for not buying while values are relatively low, but it just doesn't feel right, and we have to trust our instincts.
