Tiny Living in a Vintage 1978 Avion Travel Trailer

27/04/2024

“Spring rains” at 6500 ft- gotta love the Avion Lifestyle! 😜
- meanwhile, the ground breaking (literally with hard dirt and rocks galore!) for the apartment!👍

21/04/2024

Th Avion Lifestyle is good!
😎❤️

The whiplash of seasons is upon us! From snow, wind and cold to 70 degrees by 9 am!
Although it is still windy season- which is annoying with afternoon winds 30+mph or more gusts- at least Mr.Sun has won the battle!! 😎
This creek with the falls up in the mountain forest runs only a week or two and is dry the rest of the year. It happens from the higher elevation snow melt and the higher elevation (9-10 thousand feet) got tons of snow in this late winter wrath. We can still see white on some of the peaks.
Had to use the AC yesterday afternoon!🤷‍♀️

That Ole Man Winter and his sneaky snow!!🤦‍♀️
Thought we were gonna get a pass this year since we headed south for most of the winter! Ugh!

03/03/2024

Yup— came back too soon!!
Two days into this already and another two to go. 30-40 mph sustained-
Won’t make this mistake next winter.🤦‍♀️

24/02/2024

Home!
Our favorite view!❤️

21/02/2024

An amazing “beach day” by the lake! Squeezing every adventure out we can since we are just a few days away from returning home. We know spring is on the horizon but we will have to gear up to deal with a few more bouts with Ole Man Winter.

Last week of winter road trip —
Amazing view on the lake!!

16/02/2024

This is as far west as we go for now! The snow covered mountains in the background are not very inviting right now!😳
And..
we finally have the awning out for a Second time! Woohooo!!
😎

16/02/2024

Starting to make the move back west and it’s very disconcerting to be headed TOWARDS snow!
😳
But…
Just passing by Ruidosa, NM and definitely NoT going there!
😜🤣
Pretty views, though.❤️

11/02/2024

Cut to the chase…
Ole Man Winter caught up with us.😩
I hate that guy!😖

09/02/2024

All set up for Super Bowl weekend !! 🏈 🏈🏈🎉🎉

Ole Man Winter is gonna crash our party🥴 🥶

08/02/2024

A wicked windy day is best spent 750 ft underground so..
Carlsbad Caverns it is!!😜👍

02/02/2024

Finally made it to White Sands National Park!!
It was a spectacular sunny day with bright blue skies to contrast the winter white sands as far as you can see.
Nothing like bare feet in the sand on February 1st!
Bucket List… ✅😎❤️

31/01/2024

FINALLY…
Got to a place to open the original 45 year old awning! Sunny skies, mountain lake view and shorts and t-shirt!!
Putting the winter of January…

Le…e…t the sun shine!🎶🎵
Finally!! An afternoon of sun!
We had a good time in and around Benson, AZ.
Lots of amazing views, being a conductor of the model trains in the visitors center, eating deeeelish food and having good fun with good friends but it’s time to move on down the road as we put this lovely place…In Our Rear View Mirror!

21/01/2024

You have to have stamina for sightseeing when you are Rving to stay outta winter weather!! 😜

Benson to Wilcox to Chiricahua Mountains to Bisbee- back to Benson AZ- whew!
The Thing, a Winery, Big Tex BBQ, Chiricahua National Monument, Sandhill Crane Migration and Bisbee for the Mile High MunCheese Shop!

Quirky Quartzite …
In Our Rear View Mirror!😎☀️💕

16/01/2024

Only a couple of days left for us in Quartzite as we get wheels rolling again on Thursday. We have crammed too much fun into warm desert boondocking while we watch everyone else deal with that artic blast!
OHV-ing the rugged terrain over the hills really gives you a bird’s eye view of the beauty in this place.
Speaking of birds-
A couple of huge horned owls thought we were giving chase as the flew ahead of us for a long time as we charged through the wash. Couldn’t get a pic of them in flight because of the rough ride in the OHV but we did stop to see them perch in a tree. Amazing!!

06/01/2024

Boondocking with a hot cup of coffee and the amazing sunrise and the temp is 41 headed to low 60s today.
Life is good….😊

06/01/2024

Quartzite…
The only place in the southwest that’s not freezing and/or snowing.😊

05/01/2024

A few days in Bisbee, Az for the New Year has come to an end as the cold winter found us.
We also found our Avion friends finally!! Met up with Luise and Kevin after all these years! A great day with them in Bisbee and hope to meet up with them again somewhere down the road!💕
So, it’s off to the west and lower elevation as the only way to deal with this winter irritation.😜
Back at our property, there is already a foot of snow on the ground with even more coming this weekend and single digt temps in the forecast.
Putting all that wintry stuff …
In Our Rear View Mirror!!
Sing it, Willie! 🎵🎶

Merry holidays!😎🎄💜

Rainbows!!

The big sky here in the White Mountains is like a big stage for Mother Nature and the pop up thunderstorms today kept our eyes on the sky! The colors in this double rainbow were magnificent! Video doesn’t do it justice- an amazing performance!
