"Favorite memories in our Motor Home
Wintering in Islandia Marina RV Park which sits on about 5 acres of beach front in Bahia Kino, Mexico - due west of Hermosillo on the Sea of Cortes.
We were especially happy to return to Islandia with our new Pace Arrow. We were part of a large group of Americans and Canadians who formed lasting friendships during the winter months at Bahia Kino. (In fact, a Canadian couple just visited us last week where we live in Mission Viejo). Besides visiting local restaurants, group clam bakes, incredible happy hours watching the sunset, occasionally the weather was miserable in the winter – blowing cold winds and occasional rains. On those occasions, we (and a lucky couple of others with large Class As) we could fit 10 people inside for happy hour and a pot luck dinner (two in the captains seat which turn around and face the group, four at the dinette, three on the sofa, one on a small recliner, and one on a folding chair. We had two small storage container tables that served as coffee tables.
A Northwest Coast trip with our family
Fall of 2009, we caravanned with family from the northern Washington coast down to the southern Oregon Coast. Our brother and sister each had 5th wheels. When we would pull in, we would push buttons and the slides would go out, the awning would go up, and the Pace Arrow would level. Then we would put out our chairs, crack a beer and watch our family continue to set up; their set up activities could go on for an hour. This is a particularly poignant memory – it was the last trip for Ed’s kid sister. She passed away from cancer the following spring.
Boondocking
BLM land outside Quartzite for the big RV show in January is a great gathering place for old RV friends made over the years. It can be cold in the desert in January, and there are no hookups. Our propane space heater is a great asset. We could be warm at night when it was very cold outside.
The Pratt family is now offering their Pace Arrow at Family RV give us a call or stop in and see for yourself
