Elegantly Homeless: POST #3

Ok, it's still December 30th and here's my post for October. After leaving San Francisco I stopped for a few days in Lake Havasu City, Arizona where the London Bridge is located. Ooops, no pictures. Then headed to Deming, New Mexico where I stayed for 3 weeks. A singles RVing group has its headquarters campground in Deming. The group is called LoW's (Loners on Wheels) and has many chapters scattered throughout the US. I was there for their annual rally. Most (98 percent) of the members are women traveling alone in every type of vehicle imaginable: motor-homes, campers, 5th wheelers, etc. I really enjoyed my time with these folks and made some wonderful friendships. There is something going on each and every day. Pot lucks, card playing, going to movies, going out to eat (often!), geocaching, hiking, line dancing, campfires, museums, shopping, crafts. Many of them travel together in caravans which appeals to me. There's never a dull moment. There are other singles groups as well taking group trips all around the country. One group just did the entire Route 66, stopping all along the way discovering museums and learning of its history. There's another group who are going to Alaska on a 3 month trip. Another group is traveling for 6 weeksthru Civil War territory.

At every other campground I've stayed in most of the RVers are couples. They are all very friendly but I nevertheless feel like a 5th wheel. And I'm constantly aware that I'm not part of a couple anymore. I just have more fun with a bunch of single women.
