Great to have someone else show off their "backyard"! Besides, love that rate you're always bragging about that Virgin River RV Resort has, sure can't beat that! Like you, when we do hit the road I intend to try to meet people who enjoy the same activities, but still want time to enjoy them together alone.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-69528090016425174122013-04-11T08:21:32.836-06:002013-04-11T08:21:32.836-06:00Jim and Gayle,

I thi...Jim and Gayle,<br />Yeah! You risk-takers you! :)<br />I think you will be pleased (or pissed) at the biking opportunities around Virgin, Utah (you don't mind pushing your bikes a little bit do you?).<br />And I didn't mean to pee on all RV rallies...Any thing that get's people together, at home, or on the road, is a good thing...unless it's political in nature :)) Thanks guys...invite your friends, too.<br /><br />CowBoy Brian,<br />Shall we hike The Narrows again :)) Yee Haa!<br /><br />Cozy girl,<br />That a deal, a six'er of IPA's...Lagunita's, preferably!<br />Show up...it will be a lovely, colorful autumn in the high desert :))<br /><br />Walden Steve,<br />You R welcome! and due for a trip out west. <br /><br />Boonie,<br />Wow! Thanks, pal...you are now back on the "Love" side of our Love/Hate relationship (grin). <br />The only thing that would make it better is if you would commit to showing up...no dental excuses, fuel expense, full calendar, doggie problems...nothing! Just do it! I have two boondocks all picked out for you...one on the Mesa and the other right behind the Virgin River RV Resort...<br />thanks!!!<br />and BTW, if 20 percent of my readers show up, we're in trouble. Yikes, I might have to bail...too many people...too much responsibility....!!!! :))<br /><br />John and Pam,<br />Thanks, the chair still fits my big ass :))<br /><br />Scamps,<br />Agreed! Home and Road... I should start a publication.<br /><br />Gaelyn,<br />Bring your hiking shoes... :))<br /><br />Meow Momma,<br />As bad as things are here, they do have a way of getting worse out on the plains. You must be brave to live there...especially in RV's. Be safe!<br /><br />Sandy Bee,<br />I think I know your sister, "Spelling,"<br />anyway,<br />Thanks for your comment. I think your success demonstrates the most important RULE NUMBER ONE!!!<br />Everyone does only what they want to do. There is no mandate to hike, or bike, or potluck, or partake of the bubbly... Ok, you must partake of the bubbly... but beyond that, just show up and have fun!!! Do your own thing and only participate in the outings when is sounds like a good idea and you are in the mood!<br />Looseness, will be the key to having a good time. Hell, I want to go hike alone sometimes...so I will, or maybe just with bobbie...don't get offended. See ya next time or what ever. <br /><br />We will be there for the entire month of November because The Virgin River RV Resort has a special snowbird rate... like 425 bucks for the month... and it is a five star, friendly place, in the middle of BLM lands chock full of trails and roads, and only fifteen minutes from Zion. Yep.<br /><br />Susan,<br />Thanks...I hope you find your RV and get back on the road :))<br />mark<br /><br />Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-35514045495747756732013-04-10T21:42:13.686-06:002013-04-10T21:42:13.686-06:00I Love that Idea.

We met through work (most of us were educators) or a square dancing club some of us belonged to at the time. One person would pick a destination and we'd all head on out. We went about once a month. Once we arrived at camp, everyone was welcome to do their own thing. Some liked to hike & bike. Others liked to hang out at camp playing games, telling stories, or reading. Some liked to be active others liked more quiet activities. Anyone could join any activity. Or not. Some were early birds and others slept in. We went river rafting. We went square dancing. We went off roading. We went on scavenger hunts. We quilted. It was all fun. No classes. We did get together for meals....or at least dinner. We all live in San Diego, so we camped by the beach, in the mountains, or in the desert. Sometimes we boondocked. Sometimes we had full hookups. Sometimes we caravanned to the location and sometimes we just met up at the campground. Mostly we weekend camped as we were working folks then. But, sometimes we went on longer trips. What made our group work was the lack of organization. Aside from picking a destination or maybe a theme for dinner, there was little organization involved. You're right when you say that people are different no matter how like minded they are. But, I've been friends with my camping buddies for well over 30 years. Not everyone camps these days, but we keep in touch and we all share many, many happy memories. So, give your idea a try. It's an excellent one.Sandybeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-24149402821894479032013-04-09T21:49:34.489-06:002013-04-09T21:49:34.489-06:00So glad Goldie brought you home to the Lovely !!!!...So glad Goldie brought you home to the Lovely !!!!

And don't dismiss the "RV brand" rallies. We've made some great like-minded friends by attending Lazy Daze get-togethers, and yes we felt the same way you do before we went to one. You should try it sometime! Maybe at Quartzsite next January? (hint, hint)Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.com
