After a quick visit to Tubac (and a busy but amazing Festival of Artists) we have escaped into the desert... somewhere west of Tucson. Thank goodness for electricity though... and the air conditioning it can provide. We have just settled in to the Gilbert Ray County Campground in Tucson Mountain Park (site A36 on the A Loop) and it is hot! It's also quite beautiful (in a sandy, rocky, cactusy kind of way) and viewings of a variety of wildlife have been promised. AND... We can t wait for tonight and the star show we know awaits us. We'll be out there, wrapped in blankets, kicked back in our garden chairs... And enjoying the starry, starry night. We are away from the city lights and a fine show is guaranteed.
Thank goodness also for the shade cloth curtains Kathy was smart enough to acquire for the trailer awning. They make quite a difference by blocking much of the hot sunlight off the front of the trailer. These next few days promise to be interesting. Although we have electricity, we are not hooked up to water or " the other" :-). And so we will be as frugal as possible... But no more frugal than necessary :-). We re going to take a few days to just calm down and settle in... move our minds from the rush of boat projects to the calm of enjoying nature and our natural surroundings.
For you RVers... This is a place we would come back to. Three major loops of sites and their layout is quite spacious. Seems to be a good amount of room between each site. Each site has electrical hook up only but there are two dump stations in the park and quite a few water spigots you can use (you just can t hook up to them)... AND, best of all, the cost is $20 per night cash or cheque... no credit cards (maximum stay 7 days).
We, again thanks to Kathy's persistence, should have Internet while we enjoy our desert... So will be in email and blog contact. Know we are well... and wishing all of you good health and good times... Will write again soon. CJ
