We're planning on bringing our 77 Newell to Arizona this fall to store it for the winter. We plan on flying down periodically from Alberta and touring.
 Just looking for recommendations, on where to visit as well as a good place for storage while we're gone.
 I prefer a covered secure facility if possible.

Thank you!!

  · Yellowstone National Park  ·
(This post replaces my earlier one from this morning, which wasn't shareable).
Currently we're in Yellowstone Park this week. The past two days, it has been raining constantly. With river/water levels already high due to the June snow run-off, the rain water absolutely has added to the runoff and has absolutely demolished everything within reach of a river or creek. Last night, we saw rivers raging, picnic areas in the park completely flooded out with water going over boardwalks and through picnic tables. Areas the river is near the roadway, the water was mere inches or feet from going over the roadway. At the "Confluence" (where a creek and river meet in Lamar Valley) it was a big lake because the water was so high. We knew it was going to be bad, but not as bad as it seems to have been, but safely made it to our campground which was south of Mammoth.
This morning, we woke up to a nearly flooded creek next to our campground, then quickly were bombarded with text-alerts for road closures and other alerts due to the weather and flooding.
Almost the entire northern half of the park is currently closed. Basically everything north of Canyon and Norris junctions. All northern entrances to the park are closed or may be closing soon. The northern area of the park is being evacuated. Roosevelt Cabins were evacuated at 2:30am last night. Road sections are washed out in several areas between Gardiner and Cooke City.
Even outside of the park, there have been major flooding issues in Silver Gate/Cooke City, with power out and bridges and road sections completely wiped out. Road sections north of Gardiner, such as near Yankee Jim Canyon are wiped out or flooded over. Huge metal truss bridges, like the one here in the video, have been wiped out and washed away. In Red Lodge, major flooding has occurred in town and along most of Rock Creek. Major road sections have been carved away or flooded over and bridges in and around town have been wiped out completely. The town's entire water system is shut down and the city has no current alternative water source. Mammoth, Gardiner, Cooke City, Silver-Gate, and other towns or areas also have power and/or water outages due to compromised water lines or downed power lines.
And that's just the beginning of it. It is crazy and appalling seeing all of the posts, pictures, alerts, and the damage this flooding has caused in person. This is going to be a huge recovery effort for all parties involved and is going to take a long, long time to clean up and fix, with entire road sections, and even towns, affected by this. Thankfully I haven't heard of any  injuries, yet, and hope that continues going forward. Please, keep everyone in the affected areas, residents, workers, tourists and visitors, and emergency personnel, in your thoughts, and keep an eye out for ways to help such as fundraisers.
We will have limited cell coverage our remaining 2 nights down here in Yellowstone, assuming we aren't completely evacuated, but I will try to post updates over the next week as we see or hear more.
The park, Beartooths, Red Lodge, etc are my backyard and happy place, and it saddens me to see so much destruction, but know our wonderful communities and states will all come together to overcome this.
Feel free to add other photos/videos in the comments of this post if you have any.
Update: all entrances to Yellowstone are now completely closed to inbound traffic and visitors due to conditions."

I was wondering if anyone out there has, had or knows someone who owns an RV Lot within a Resort somewhere. We are considering purchasing a few in notable resorts across the US, but have no experience in this sector of real estate (we have plenty of experience with commercial and residential real estate). Some of my questions involve the following:

Is it worth it?
Does it make traveling more convenient if you own lots at least in "4 corners" of the US?
Does renting the lot (when not owner occupied, of course) help bring a balance to the monetary investment calculation?
Where would you love to rent a lot?
What would you consider to be "the pros" to this strategy?
What would you consider to be "the cons" to this strategy?
If you are an owner, what, if any, about the ownership do you regret? 
If you are an owner, what would you change about your ownership?

Any other thoughts would be much appreciated, as we continue to go forward on this new journey!]]>

I know the website makes it look kinda blah , but I assure you this area is one of the Country's most beautiful and it is currently 67 degrees and yesterday a high of 82. Only 15 minutes south of I-10. I know your thinking that it can't be cool there it's too far South.... It's 4700 ft elevation and surrounded by small mountain ranges. The park is paved and no dust packed stone sites. There are trees and grass and a lot of space and pull thrus for Ron,Forest and Marc where they can keep all the toys and haulers at the sites. There are more Razor riding areas than I can point out and the best is the price. if you are FMCA or Good Sam it's only $10 a night + $3 for 50 amp service and they even lease spots for a year in the rear section of the park for around $2500. Great for storage on electric. Anyway if you are traveling East or West on Rte 10 in AZ this is a good place.]]> I strongly suggest the next "Guru Gathering" be held here.
