More time with the Hupps
We wanted more time with family and friends in Tucson. One more round of thinning out stuff we don't need, picking up a few things we do, and getting Bertha ready to head east. It's been great to have time with the family and long talks. Oh and Julie learned how to shoot a rifle and a hand gun including a bit of self defense lessons too. Colin said it' a bit like his EMT. Good skills to have but you hope you never have to use them.

Total miles driven since we left Anchorage: ...
The caves have eyes
... hike up, hike down-hike up, hike down-elevator up we choose the latter. The hike enters through the bat flight entrance and descends 880 feet through a series of switchbacks and pathways. Natural light penetrates the cave for a few hundred feet then artificial light becomes the only source of illumination. The grade going down is easy and would be suitable for all ages. As we move further under the new Mexico ...
Five Days in the Desert
... at this park made the facilities really shine. Extraordinary to the point of putting decent hotel chains to shame. At first we thought five days was going to be too long, but the days went by quickly. Catalina is extremely popular and the hiking trails get a lot of use especially in the mornings when it's refreshingly cool. Everyone seemed kitted out to the max - light day packs, water bottles, brimmed hats, hiking boots and walking ...
