Motor Coach Country Club

[garyde]

We just got back from a week in Tucson,Arizona. On our way home, we stayed in Indio ,California at the MotorCoach Country Club. We were struck by the amount of people with new Coaches. Aside from two dozen or so Prevosts, (Marathons,& Liberty's for the most part), we saw at least 14 to 20 Newell Coaches ,most all of them brand new! There were many new Country Coach Affinitys and Monaco Signatures , and others.
Of coarse, many people had 2 or three Harleys parked out front , Custom Golf Cart, and Mercedez or Hummer.
Quite the place. Gary

Gary,

Carl Blade has a couple of lots there. It is rumored that he sold 17 new Newells to people in the park last season. Our neighbors just ordered a new Newell. They are giving up their Affinity.

And yes it is quite nice there, we enjoy it.

We went hunting out there back when I was stationed at Pendolton. Sun went down before we got back to the car. Got so dark you could not see your hand in front of your face. I was driving a Yellow Cuda and didn't find it till we litterally bumped into it. That was lucky, the good old days. In 1980 that was the middle of nowhere. Changed a little?

Jim and Joe,

Have you ever been to Garden Spot of the high desert, 29 Palms?

Ahh.. 29 stumps... known for its year 'round tepid climate, tropical breezes and old world culture

[jonnie]

Jeep,

All that is true, but it was a paradise compared to Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley or maybe not. Palm Springs was close and to much fun for young Marines.

[Joe Cannarozzi]

29 Palms ahhhhhhhh yes. We had it pretty easy though.

1st Combat Engineers Support Co. Heavy Equipment Platoon.

We would set up tent city and then would have to do stuff like generator watch and keep the showers and laundry units going. The grunts would be up and gone before dawn, not us.

Jim, right back at ya. You might very well have been one of those pilots that would constantly rattle our tents with afterburners at very low altitude in the middle of the night

Or Jonnie mabye it might have been you?

Yes,
ORA Motorcoach Country Club, on the south side of Avenue 48, just east of Jefferson St nice place. We stayed there twice so far his year In 2002, we laughed who would pay $60-80,00 for a lot there, now they base out at $209,000 for a perimemter lot. Heard in February, Marathon took a lot in trade for a new coach. They re-sold this fully developed site for $650,000. Now, we aren't laughing that much. Oh Well, who'd-a--thunk prices would go that high.
Down the street at Desert Shores, a lot we were interested in last year for the high 3's as new, just re-sold for $630,000. Can you feel the GREEN just slipping thru you hands?

Unbelievable thing is that lot was NOT the highest resale....eek:
They are realclose to 7 figures.
There are a number of people there that have way too much money and nothing to do with it...and I'm NOT one of them.
