We left Mary Poppins in high spirits, It was a marvelous performance of a timeless wonderful musical. The next morning we prepared the coach for travel back to Jojoba Hills with some mixed feelings. This was likely to be the last time we hooked everything up for a road trip.  After some negotiation with Carol we agreed to take the short route over the mountain with many switchbacks up the Palms to Pines Highway eventually bringing us through Anza to Aguanga. As we setup back on our site in Jojoba Hills we still were not sure of our next step.

Fast forward 3 weeks past a wonderful New Years Eve Dinner Dance in our Friendship Hall. Past one last Board Meeting as a board member. And past getting together with several members of the park who have a variety of trailers. What better way to shop than seeing units in use in the park and hearing from friends and neighbors about the pluses and minuses of their units. We noted that the most common new units in the park are Cottage Destination Trailers by Cedar Creek, a division of Forest River.  Here is the floor plan of the trailer we decided on:

We are replacing the King bed with a Queen since that is what we are used to and it provides more space in the bedroom. 

The order has been placed and we hope to see it delivered by late March or early April. 

Shortly after our return from Palm Springs we got word the Bolt was finally ready to be picked up. I drove the Jeep to the shop and left it to have some dents and scratches sorted out and drove the Bolt home. I look forward to selling the Jeep and reclaiming our status as a one car household in California. We will need to buy something for use in Rochester. GeeWhiz will be placed on the market as soon as we have transferred our stuff to the trailer.

Today we drove to Julian, 6,000 feet up in the mountains. It is a former gold mining town that discovered apples when the gold played out and we brought home a Julian Apple Pie. We enjoyed the drive and Julian was mobbed on a sunny, warm, winter, Saturday.
