Roadtrekking in our 210P via Lily Pads

This is our Trek in our Roadtrek 210P. Hint: Scroll to a list of "Topics and Destinations" on the right. Our RT is a portal to a much larger world and we have established "lily pads" from which we travel and we'll post about those, too. Life is a Journey of discovery in our Motorized Alpaca, a "tiny cabins on wheels". It has been said that "Life Begins at the end of our Comfort Zone." Content and photos are original unless noted.

Hello Everyone! We made it to the FMCA International Convention at the PIMA County Fairgrounds in Tucson, AZ. Nice weather and we were able to park with a group of Roadtrekkers. We are members of the FMCA and the Roadtrek International Chapter. Our scheduled arrival was on March 18th and this date was assigned by the FMCA. With hundreds of RVs arriving, it is critical to stagger the entry dates, which are officially on the 18th and 19th. We have 30A hookup, with water and sewer connections nearby. It's a great location and we can walk to showers, etc. We're parked on asphalt and get some shade, too.

We had some difficulty getting into the group, but the FMCA staff at the fairgrounds were extremely helpful. Our thanks to the staff and volunteers.

Not every Roadtrek at the fairgrounds is parked with the group.

This is our first RV trek since November 2022. We're having a good time and we hope to travel more in 2024.

Update 1 March 21

There is lots to do. We have attended coffee and donuts at 8am, the opening ceremonies, various entertainment, exhibits, some sessions including "Ask the Experts" which is about all things RV. G attended the Ladies Luncheon (ticket required). We also went to the karaoke and took turns at the mike. The astronomy group had set up telescopes and as it got dark we looked upon the craters of the moon, the cloud bands of Saturn and we could observe four of its moons. The Orien Nebula was a treat through an 11-inch Celestron reflective telescope. We shared birthday cake with the Roadtrek Chapter president, too. Thanks to the many volunteers in their golf carts who gave us rides! Nevertheless, we got a lot of walks in.
