The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV Resort in La Conner, Washington. I’m scheduled to depart here July 9th.
Today… A trip down memory lane!
2004 Central America trip…
This trip ended up being 343 days and 16,000+ miles through the back-country of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. 11 rigs started the trip, within a week we broke into three smaller groups for ease of traveling. Only myself and one other rig went the full, pre-planned route. All the others dropped out for various reasons. All returned safely to the United States. I’m planning to show these photos, more or less, 10 a day, whenever I’m not doing something else deserving a blog entry. FINALLY, it must be remembered these photos are prior to my switching to digital in 2006. The films were developed during our trip and the lack of quality control sometimes is plainly evident.
Today…Guatemala (south-bound) #3…
As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…
Santa Elana, Guatemala. Population about 30,000. Today was 100 degrees and about 100% humidity…
The local mall…
A two-hour Sunday boat ride on Lake Petan-itza…
A nice breeze on the lake helped with the heat and humidity…
Why would three women be standing on this tiny island in the middle of the lake? Someone obviously boated them out there so they could take their Sunday bath…
The town of Flores is connected to Santa Elana by a short causeway…
It’s about 1/2 mile in diameter and about 100 feet high…
With a population of about 5,000, it’s primarily upscale residential, hotels and shops…
Much nicer than Santa Elana…
Lots of narrow streets, gaily colored buildings with red tile roofs…
The locals checking us out…
Pretty and peaceful…
I hope you enjoyed the photos.
I hope you will enjoy the future blog postings.
Forecast for today is partly sunny and 70 degrees.
Enjoying nice weather is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Enjoying 65-75 degree temperatures with low humidity most of the year is a primary joy in the RVing lifestyle!

My current travel rig is a 2006 Fleetwood 26′ Class A Motorhome and a towed 1986 Ford Bronco II, Eddie Bauer Model. This photo was taken in the desert at Slab City near Niland, California…
On October 27, 2012, I created a two-minute video titled America The Beautiful. The music America The Beautiful is by Christopher W. French. The photos, which I randomly selected, are from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia (not shown in that order)…are mine. Yup, That’s me standing in front of the Post Office in Luckenbach, Texas…Y’all!
