Tom and Jen bought a truck camper.
Day 142: Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson, AZ Sunny and warm. It is just too nice here to move. We are sitting in the shade and morning breeze watching the birds. A cactus wren flew into Arvi, looked around, perched on the steering wheel, and then left in its own time. Hummingbirds and another little gray... Continue Reading →
Day 141: Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson, AZ Sunny and warm. We drove south to Green Valley to see the Titan II Missile Museum. Diesel recommended the museum. Diesel was a fellow camper in Monterey whom we named because the moment we backed into our campsite, he asked if we were going to turn the fuming... Continue Reading →
Day 140: Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson, AZ Partly cloudy and warm. This morning we were chatting with a fellow camper who has two little dogs. The little dogs hopped right into Arvi’s open door to check it out. Then, while we were chatting, a hummingbird flew around and flew briefly into Arvi to see what... Continue Reading →
Day 139: Lost Dutchman State Campground, Apache Junction, AZ Sunny and warm. The Saguaro National Park is pretty cool, if you like different types of plants. We arrived just in time for a ranger walk around the plants in front of the Visitor Center. I learned many neat facts, like: Saguaro is pronounced sa WAR... Continue Reading →
Day 138: Cave Creek Regional Park Campground, AZ Sunny and warm. Tom made arrangements for us to visit with a fellow Rawsonville retiree. Tony and Tammy live in a fairly modern neighborhood in Mesa.

Day 136: Cave Creek Regional Park, AZ Sunny and warm. Oh the joy of making coffee in the RV! We had a couple cups of coffee and some leftover birthday cake, which we grilled in a pan with a little butter. The cake was sort of dry and not impressive. It was a loaf with... Continue Reading →
Day 135: National Forest road off 89A south of Sedona Sunny and cool. Six hot air balloons float high behind our campsite this morning. I consider them my happy birthday balloons. What a wonderful day! Tom took me to Anthem, Arizona. Anthem has a veterans memorial which was dedicated on November 11, 2011, at 11:11... Continue Reading →
Day 134: National Forest road off 89A south of Sedona Sunny and warm. We had breakfast at Crema Craft Kitchen in Cottonwood and ordered a new coffee pot while eating. Crema is in the Old Town of Cottonwood and is a delightful restaurant on a delightful street. Not far from Cottonwood is Jerome, a small... Continue Reading →
Day 133: Cottonwood Fairgrounds (be out by 8:30 or be locked in until after the gun show) Sunny and warm. The coffee pot would not start. It worked last night but now it doesn’t. An electrical part must have broken. After going out to breakfast and grocery shopping, we spent most of the day at... Continue Reading →
