Gypsy Journal rally in Yuma, AZ

Hi everyone
The rally ended Yesterday morning. It was interesting and they had lots of seminars on lots of things, but when you have been living this lifestyle for 10 years there is not much that is new. I think for most of the 221 rigs in attendance it was mostly camaraderie that brought us here.
One thing that we had promised ourselves to do was get the rig weighed. There is a company that does that using individual wheel scales. I was very concerned that we were over weight, especially since we have added the 4 golf cart batteries, a large inverter, generator, air compressor, and my toolbox.

I know this does not mean anything to you but I am listing it here so that I have a permanent record of things. We are good on the trailer weight, good on the gross combined weight, and 350 pounds over on the rear axle weight of the truck tires.
truck tires 3415 lbs @ 80psi
trailer tires 3750 lbs @ 110psi
ss=street side
cs=curb side

actual gross combined 22450 which includes:
80 gallons of water (640lbs) distributed over 4 tanks

We are now in Gila Bend AZ at a full hookup campground where we have gotten the rig washed, clothes washed, and us washed using lots of water!!! yea.

We leave here tomorrow to go to BLM land south of Tucson for about two weeks, and hope to meet up with friends from Tennessee who have a son hoping to make the Colorado Rocky's baseball team. He has been playing triple A for a couple of years and we are all rooting for him to make the big time.

Jim and Linda
See ya down the road
