Spring Skoolie meet in AZ?

Any interest? Central AZ, around the Verde Valley/Cottonwood area.

Boonie or campground?

Well some of us have been chatting about a Colorado meetup in the spring or summer if you'd be interested in a road trip.

Snowbirding? Is this a typo or a play on words because you own a bluebird? Because if you're talking snowboarding, you've got my interest. All depends if I get a bus and get it reasonably built by then. Although given the fact I live in tahoe and we've had less than wonderful snowfall the last few years, I'm somewhat skeptical about going south for snow. Colorado sounds a lot more attractive.

snowbirds are folks who move to warmer climates when it starts to get cold. Usually they are retired and in rv's but not always.

Bansil.....now, now, now anyone who has followed your posts know that you got more than enough antifreeze in you to easily work in -22 weather. Admit it, you just want to hibernate through the winter.

Gotta go....back on the couch here, give me a shout when the temp goes & stays above 60 folks.
