The 2006 Travels of Richard n Shirley

Late after noon update-

This is general views of the older section "East" of the park, in the light blue and tan to the right in the site map. These have been here the longest and most are permanent single wide mobile homes. Some are pretty old but look nice. Some are much newer and look nice.

The additions include a car port, some have a garage, a golf cart port, back/or side yard cover, decks, etc. Some had rooms added also. I don't know if this is leased land or not. There are a few vacant lots. Everybody has a golf cart with lights.


The streets in this area are narrower, maybe 20 foot. They don't look to be 25 foot. other parts of the east area have 25 foot streets.

Its all as to when it was built and to what code. Electric poles are in this area. There is natural gas. Sewer system is there but I don't know what kind. This is the area of the rec hall, tennis courts, pool, laundry and fitness center. The main office is in the newer "west" area. There is a pool and showers in the west area. As of now, wifi is not in the east area. There are some really cute homes in the east area for sale. some are very well kept up. The park standards see to this. For information about any "for sale" older east homes or other areas, call the main office. More on "for sale" tomorrow.

They are putting in a new area to the north of the east area. The site map is oriented with the top of the page being south. There is atleast one MH there so it may be ready to be occupied. This is layed out for single/dbl wide mh or permanent housing and is the brown color.

I will post more tomorrow about the west area we are in, the new north area with the W I D E spaces. I will need to get pics of the new "north-east" area. The front is to be here tomorrow around 8 am and will cool it down into the afternoon 60's for a couple of days.

Temp: 82 with the wind still blowing, 65 overnight till the front arrives about 8 am. Then is 40% chance of rain and a north wind. For you back home, stay warm.


Orange trees and groves abound. We have not see them pick the fruit yet and hopefully we will. Lots and lots of trees around.


This morning, DW has her exercise room instruction on use and care of the equipment. Thats at 8:30 am. When she gets back, I'll go to the golf course and see about playing. The forecast is still for it to be a windy day. Not much water and very little hazards here so it wont be to bad. More on this when I get back after lunch.



The internet dish will also go up today. This constant having to sign back in is a problem.

Mid morning post-

the dish is up, ANCHORED, no more signing in. The golf is off. Winds are a steady 25-30 with gusts so far to 41. These are readings from the McAllen Medical Center. Standing in and hitting a ball in that is insane. Another day. Its 78 now with a high of 88 and sunny. The front is expected here around 8 am. The other station I was using just stopped working.

Shirley is back from the exercise room and looking at flights to DFW next week. The rates are up from last night and appear to be climbing. I guess I'll be batching it for sure.
