Butterbean points out that the Southwest is running out of water, but points out that Phoenix will be one of the areas that will get all the remaining water that is available. From what we saw up at Roosevelt lake, there is plenty of water for the near term, and we understand that the lake is up quite a bit from the low point a couple of years ago.
Of course after that, who knows ? Life is always a gamble....
I went over to the sales office today at the new home site, and learned that almost all of the lots that were available last week were sold over the weekend. This is somewhat surprising to us. There are a number of lots available for the more expensive homes, but these small retired folks homes seem to be selling. I knew we didn't have much time to make our decision...
This morning we went up to the country store swap meet here in our park, and there was no parking within two blocks of the commons building. The entire first row of the parking lot was filled with outside vendors and their canopies. Also several new motorhomes were in the back parking lot.
The inside vendors had an extra row of tables, and the pool vendors were stretched around the back of the pool area. Something we have never seen before. I had all kinds of trouble making my way to a specific vendor in the main ball room. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder. The lunch line was as long as I have ever seen it as well. This place is jammed!
The park we are moving to will not be nearly so full, as there were a number of open sites yesterday and the lady at the desk said they had a lot of sites still open. That is bound to become larger in mid March as folks start home. I know we have no intention on moving back here to VDO. Unless something drastic happens to drive us away...........
We can always come back here for the country store and other activities that are open to the public and a lot with hookups is a lot with hookups. The weather will be just the same three miles east of here anyway..........
I see officially it made it to 79 degrees this afternoon. We had the big awning out on the RV as well as the little dinning canopy. I'm not sure how we could have more perfect weather.......

Where did this wind come from? Too much going on at VDO for my tastes. Wow, good thing you got your lot when you did. I wonder if the price of fuel is driving a lot of people to give up RV's. But we've had three couples move out of our park to a place over on Meridian.
ReplyDeletewow sounds like you bought your lot right at the right time...good show...hard to handle crowds for sure...not sure I would have been able to take the shoulder to shoulder parade...have a super weekend
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising, I think, to hear that most of those lots were sold over the weekend. Maybe the economy is turning around after all. It sure seems to be the case here in Palm Springs too. The stores are full and things are far, far busier than the last two years.
