Snowbird RV Adventure Part 2 Ends: Return to Bellingham, Washington


Part 2: Day 27

February 28: One reason we chose Lazy Days KOA as our last destination for Part 2 of our Snowbird RV Adventure was its proximity to Tucson International Airport.

Allegiant Airlines flies direct between Tucson and Bellingham during winter,.

We put our Sunseeker RV in a secure area to wait for our return. We have an electric hookup so we can keep our batteries charged and to use our Davis Air-Dryr dehumidifiers. In addition to preventing moisture buildup, they provide some heat to combat cool nights.

We still love our float cabin home in all seasons.
Thanks for coming along on Part 2 of our Snowbird RV Adventure.

After taking care of some business in Bellingham, we'll head home to our float cabin on Powell Lake, an adventure in its own right.

There still may be some winter weather, but after all of the Arizona sunshine it's okay.




Here's a summary of our Snowbird RV Adventure so far.

    1. There will be more BC tales, but not with an RV. Ours is restricted to the States due to some unique customs rules about Canadians driving foreign vehicles into the country. - Margy

  8. This is definitely my idea of seeing the countryside! I could wander around in your camper for weeks at a time :) Great scenery you shared.

    I'm so happy to see you at 'My Corner of the World' this week!

  10. I love camping, for now we just use tent, but your RV is a winner. Enjoy your adventure on the road.

    1. We were tent campers until last year. We still do it in certain situations when we can't use our RV. Tent camping is a little more flexible, so it is a good way to stay in remote areas. - Margy

    1. We get spotty Internet on the road. I take advantage of good places to write and schedule posts for later posting. Kind of cheating, but that's what works while on the road. - Margy

  13. Doesent the lake freeze up in winter, I'd be conserned about it doing that around my house

    1. No it doesn't. We live in a coastal area with temperate winters. The lake is also very large and over 1000' deep in places. The shoreline doesn't even freeze during cold snaps. There are float cabin in more northern areas that do experience freezing. Transportation to and from during freeze-up and spring-thaw are the most difficult times. - Margy

  17. Margy - is a "welcome home" in order? I love the picture of your float cabin against the cliffs, with snow and icicles in the background.
