Welcome back dear family and friends... I am so pleased to have you follow along with the continuing saga of the Phantom Phaeton. I believe introductions are in order. My name is Walt and my lovely bride is Lanie. We are both US Veterans, we are both retired... me, from carpentry and general construction, having had a successful high-end construction and design company. Lanie started in broadcasting as a radio DJ and followed that with a career as a recording engineer with her own successful recording studio located in scenic Orefield Pennysylvania. We travel with Foxie our companion of 15 years. The old girl (Foxie) still gets excited for 'moving day' and is always ready to travel, new sites and new smells. I am of the belief that Lanie is also always ready to move on to new locations and adventures.
As referenced in my previous blog, we disposed of our properties back in Allentown, PA and set our sites on getting out there, finally getting the show on the road. We decided on Livingston, TX as the location for our Domicile (Legal Residency) and contracted with Escapees.com for our mail handling services located at Rainbow's End. Always a good place to stop at occasionally while traveling and fulfill our residency requirements.
MOVING ON - We were in the process of visiting most of the Escapees Co-Op parks located throughout the United States (sans California) in our plan to find a place to utilize as a home base and a place to winter over. We arrived at Lone Star Corral - Alamo Area SKP CO-OP in Hondo, TX (40 miles West of San Antonio) and realized we need look no further. This would indeed be 'Home'... We joined the active waiting list to secure a, as of yet unknown, site that would be coming up in the foreseeable future. In February of 2021 we were awarded (a lifetime lease) our dream location, immediately took possession and commenced to remodel both the exterior and interior of the 'shed' (its' legal description)

ReplyDeleteAnother fine entry, and thanks again for sharing your personal experiences. You have done a very fine job with your "shed" at LSC, very welcoming with a strong sense of home. It's interesting to see how the different members at LSC, as well as other Co-Ops, treat and use their shed. Ciao
