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.

So I decided to hang a right rather...

Our plan right now is to stay until the end of March. The jury is still out as to whether or not we want to move out of Alaska. Maybe we will just be Snowbirds. Total miles driven since we left Anchorage: ...
Tucson and the Arizona desert
The southern part of Arizona is mostly desert with 2 large cities (Phoenix and Tucson).
In Phoenix we stayed on the outskirts of town (Happy Valley suburb).
In Tucson we stayed at the Desert Dove Bed and Breakfast.
The setting was beatiful, on the edge of town, just a few kilometers from Saguaro National Park East.
If you go walking in the desert parks, or on your own, learn desert-safety tips.

BACK COUNTRY CAMPING
... to get the thing going with newspaper, fire starter gel and kindling. Now I had none of the above and no warm van or wife to snuggle against at night! There was lots of dead grass at the campsite, some of which I pitched the tent on. Turns out this grass is VERY flammable! I put piles of it in the bottom of the rock ring then some twigs on top and it caught so quickly I was amazed. Of course I started imagining one small spark jumping out and landing in ...
