Yes you are correct I have been missing the last few days...not only from posting but from chatting. I have been busy at work and after work I have had so many projects to get done! Time is growing shorter and shorter here and I just have to get this all done.
Sherri and I took off to East Texas yesterday in search of a plot of land to set the RV on when we are on RR from traveling. Actually this will be the place where we refuel our budget and spend less on diesel and rents. Sherri looked up several possible properties to look at and we put them in the GPS and then yesterday after work we headed out to explore all the possibilities.
We have live out at Lake Towakoni for 30 some odd years and we liked this area so we decided to take a look out there. Well I cannot begin to tell you what we found. After living out there for all these years I never could have imagined that there was areas as B A D as some of the areas we looked at. Now I wont mention any names but believe me these places that we looked at brought back memories of West Virgina coal mining areas. These folks live....well I can't even begin to describe the conditions some of these areas were in. I lived a very sheltered life in that area of the country and never knew it.
We will be rethinking the area we will look in next. I know that many of you are saying...you had a place out there at your daughters land...and you are correct....however with her out of school and now that she and her family may be thinking about relocating Sherri and I better be ahead of that plan if it should come about. This way we would have a place that we could call our own and not have to worry about it being sold tomorrow. Plus the fact that staying next door to the grand kids can defeat the reason we are there to save back money....I think you know where I am going with that.
We will be working on alternative plans today and will surely keep you all abreast of what we find out. Until that time I have to get ready for the punishment phase of my life. I have to finish my coffee and get dressed so that I can head out....

Good luck on your quest.
Lots of cheap land in Tennessee!!!
When I was getting down to the end of working, I used to say, "I was so much a short timer, that I didn't even have to open the door to walk in." Seems like there are a million things that need addressed when you are leaving for good. When you walk out the door for that final time, its like a million pounds are lifted off your shoulders. Rod
Is there a reason to stay in Texas? AZ and NM are great for land, we know several people that have great places. They put in a sewer, electric and has a place to rent out when they're not there. You don't need much and it doesn't need to be in a park. Prices were less then Texas. Just a thought. You make the land payment by renting it out.
