Tucson, AZ



Here we are: the final day in our wee adventure through Arizona and New Mexico. Their history and scenery, and the lovely nature of the Navajo folks we met, were all I hoped for.

We had two sites on the agenda today, both found southwest of Tucson. We wanted to arrive at the...

Tucson, AZ



Last night on the living room couch, I woke to the low rumble of distant thunder which was odd given the clear weather we've enjoyed for the past 10 days. Apparently, Angus, the pug pooch was shivering from fright in the biffy! Around 8am, I re-awoke to the rustle of John and Roy w...

Tucson, AZ



Up at 7:30 today to high overcast and crisp cool desert air. We're sorry to leave the solace of Casitas de Gila. The setting and our comfortable adobe 'cabin’ were wonderful.

Today is a driving day so very few pictures and lots of miles – maybe close to 275-30...

It's Christmas Day and the family festivities have run their course. Everyone has gone home and now we eagerly begin packing the Motorhom...

The final stretch had us heading through Tombstone, past the Saguaros and into Biosphere 2. Such a busy but interesting day, we’ve enjoyed our ‘last’ day on the road but are really looking forward to a hot, hot shower, a bed and some reprieve from constantly being outside.
Tombstone started as a mining town and was truly pa...

We got up at 4:45am to leave for the airport. I think I only slept 4 hours. I was tired on the flight to Denver. I then had a 2 1/2 hour layover that was long.

I am so grateful to have had this oppurtunity to share my passion for donation. Hopefully, this will be a start to other bike trips to continue this mission to advocate for Lizzi...

We started our bike trip at the community college at 9:00 am and rode through steep hills, passes, we even had to carry our bikes through a wash.(a new term for me) A wash is a sandy area where water only is there when flooded. But this wash was a 1/3 mile trek through sand and cacti. for us. The start temp was 45 and it continued to get warmer ...

After a slow start this morning, the guys decided to travel south of Tucson to the Titan Missile Museum. As we headed out I realized that we have really settled in at the current park and really haven't done much exploring since we got back from the Ottawa area. On the other hand, for the first time this winter we have both been able to just sit...

We arrived at this very small camp site up in the Madera Canyon, just outside of Greensville to find it full except for site seven that appeared to have no evidence of anyone staying there, but there was a ticket for site nine attached to that site marker. It indicated that someone was staying until the following day but we thought, well, if the...
