Coin Community "Family"

Ditto here, Deb. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out and it's been almost two weeks since your original post (OK, I'm a litle slow catching up with the Main Coin Forum). But, it certainly reflects the sentiment of the group. We are indeed a family complete with occasional disagreements, but we always kiss and make up (electronically, of course). At the end of a long day or if I'm just in the mood, I come here for non-stressful relaxing conversation, companionship (hey, out here in the Arizona forest, only the wildlife and occasional Hereford walking steak come visit), frequent humor, and, of course, to exchange coin knowledge and information.

I like the change.

Actually, Deb, I hadn't originally planned to return to the desert until late September, but that changed last week to early Sep when I learned some snowbirds will be returning to the park early. I need to have the water system in working condition before then, much as I'd like to stay in the mountains longer, albeit it's starting to get chilly up here at night - 46F the past two nights. Sixty degrees difference between up here at night and the desert during the day.

I suspect the early return has a lot to do with gas prices and the market speculation due to the Mideast wars which is/are driving up the cost of crude. The returnees are anticipating even higher prices and for many of us fulltime RVers, fuel prices have become THE limiting factor in our travel plans, not to mention daily living - none of our pensions have more than tripled in three years to match the gas increases. Just three years ago, I was griping because gas had gone up to $1.69/gal from $1.02 in just a couple months; now, I'm happy when I can get it at $2.87 in Flagstaff (where one station is at $3.17; down the road in Williams, it's a bargain at $3.37). I had planned to return to Labrador (4500 miles one way) in summer 2007; now, I'll be lucky to return to northern Arizona.
