Hello from Minnesota

[MinnesotaGal]

<div>I am a retired nurse, widow, and love to camp. I started with a tent, then a Dodge Van and now a 1989 Winnebago Chiefton with 118000 miles on her.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>This last winter I spent 4 months boon docking on Texas beaches with Uri, my dog. He is a silly clown; but, looks scary. He is a Rottweiler.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I would like to go to the gathering in CA this June but I already spent way too much on gas this winter.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>I will probably go to Quartzite this winter if I can touch base with some of you who will be there. It will be a new experience for me. I have 270 watts of solar so I very rarely turn on the Genny. I do not tow a car. Leave it at home in MN in the drive.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Currently making new curtains for the front dash and trying not to think about going north (Superior National Forest) to fish and camp free. Trying to save the gas money for Sept when I plan to leave heading West.</div><div>&nbsp;</div><div>Have a great day and I hope to meet some of you !&nbsp;</div><div>Andrea and Uri</div>

Hiya MG. I live in TX now, but lived in MN (Chaska) a few years ago. Loved it there! Have you made your way into NM yet? Lots of great camping and things to see there.<div><br></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div>

In Sept when I head West I plan on wandering around NM and SE Utah before winter hits. Then spend the rest of the winter in AZ. I have read NM has a great State Park system.<div><br></div><div>No, I have not traveled around in NM.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>I love Texas ! I just could not take the hot humid summers......I currently live in a Northern Suburb of Mpls/St Paul. A nice quiet neighborhood with lots and lots of beautiful Oak trees.</div>
