CamPark T80 Trail Cam

Last winter, I purchased a trail cam for the purpose of videoing critters out in the desert. Unfortunately, the pandemic hit before I was able to deploy it, so I packed it away in the RV. While moving into the park model, I discovered the cam cleverly concealed in one of my boxes. 

Yesterday afternoon, I placed it in a bush across from my site and left it overnight. Although capturing a rabbit and a gambel quail does not qualify as spectacular viewing, I was pleased with the cam's performance, particularly, the night vision. It should be fun seeing what else is out there.

Old Family Photo

One of the ways I am decorating the interior of the park model is to use photographs that I have collected over the years. In looking through my albums, I came across one taken approximately 45 years ago that seems to be a perfect fit for my home here in the southwest...

Black Bear Pass Crash

This is an excerpt from a YouTube video that demonstrates what can happen if you take your eyes (and wheels) off the road on Black Bear Pass...


Park Model Interior

Most of my furniture has been delivered and the interior of the park model is beginning to come together...





Here's a quick list of some of the things I like about the model:
  • It's light and airy due to all the windows and sky lights
  • Lots of storage space
  • No longer have to dump tanks once a week
  • High speed Internet
  • Great insulation makes heating and cooling more efficient
  • View of the Superstition Mountains...

Park Model

After nine and a half years living full-time in a RV, I decided it might be nice to have a home to come home to, so I have purchased a used park model in the Arizonian RV Park. It is on a corner lot in the rear of the park with a great view of the Superstition Mountains (home of the Lost Dutchman Mine)...

I am keeping the RV and will continue to travel whenever I get the desire to hit the road again. I may have to change the name of my blog to "Ex-Full-time RVer".
