Timeout

As part of our membership with Thousand Trails, we are permitted free camping for 3 week periods at any of the TT campgrounds. However, in order to prevent someone from just "moving in" and living at a campground there is a stipulation. After 3 weeks in a campground you have to leave for 1 week before you can return to the same campground. You may move directly to another TT campground if you want, but if you want to stay in the same place you must spend 1 week out of the campground.... hense the common term amoung RVer's "Timeout".
Since we deceided to spend several months in the Cottonwood area, we have been spending our "Timeout" week on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land within 1 mile of the TT campground. If you remember, I explained the BLM regulations to you in the Quartzsite blog in January. As TT members we can continue to avail ourselves of the recreational facilities and activities even during the "timeout" by obtaining "Day Passes" to the campground.... these passes cost nothing.
Lifestyle on the BLM land is slightly different than in the campground. There are very little rules...  you can have a fire, no quiet time, dogs don't need to be leashed...

Here is a picture of John and Holly living the BLM lifestyle.
