Again? Didn't you just do that less than 10 days ago? Thanks for asking, and it was nine days ago. We are out of The Meadows (aka Purgatory Flats to some of us) and back into the main part of the resort. Back in the site where we started our time here this summer.
The move is about a half mile. It takes us about an hour and a half or so to orchestrate and make the move: first the motorcycle, then the scooter. Joan brought the weed-eater to trim up the grass right around the concrete pad (the grounds crew here can't trim too close to RVs and stuff at the edge of the concrete). Usually, the coach is the last thing to make the move, but it was next this time. And lastly, the cargo trailer.
Why don't you just put the bikes in the cargo trailer and haul that in one move? Good question, and I'll answer: the bikes have to be strapped down when being hauled in the trailer. That means putting the chocks in place and the time spent doing the strapping - it is faster to just ride the bikes over and make an extra trip. And, we can use the cargo trailer to haul our patio stuff without having to pack it all away in the motorhome. Making this short move isn't quite like getting everything ready for the road.
Of course, it would be easier to just stay in one site through the season - but that is available to work campers (they deserve this perk) or to a small number of people who put their name in for one site for the season and have the privilege of paying about 2 1/2 times more each month for that option. This works for us. We'll be on this site for 3 weeks, then back to The Meadows.
How does Rufus do with the move? There was this...
"Dad - this move isn't going to mess with my lunch time, is it?"
"No, my boy - we'll be on your usual schedule. Plus, you'll get to see Daisy next door." He's good with all that.
There will be another moving day happening sooner than we expected: the house in Arizona is ahead of schedule... by over a month and a half. As long as things continue as they are, we'll be in the house before the holidays. Yes, I know: chickens and being hatched.

Rufus and I were out for a walk this evening. The sun was behind the clouds, almost down. Decent light. Rufus was looking more Rufus-y compared to that image from this morning...
