Desert Trail RV & Tucson Mountain Park

March 15, 2021 / / 0 Comments

We arrived at Desert Trails RV Park outside of Tucson. Very nice adults only park. Lots of amenities. Heated pool, great laundry, food trucks every other day. All very nice.

The park is on the edge of Tucson Mountain Park which is filled with Saguaro Cacti and other great plants and animals. The park is a part of the Saguaro National Park. We learned a lot about the Saguaro. A very a 10 year old cactus is only about 1 inch tall. Some live for 200 years! We has some really great hikes every day.

Great Fire in the Desert

March 13, 2021 / / 0 Comments

We cut local wood from the brush pile to have a nice fire last night. Our neighbor, Neil, stopped by for a beer and nice conversation. It was a little chilly, but the wind died down.

We woke up to 32 degrees and SNOW! We are at 4,600 feet above sea level. It was actually colder here than in Wisconsin. Wow. Our furnace is working great and we are not complaining. It was beautiful

Pam and I went into the small town of Sonita. Took care of some chores (Propane and an haircut); We then went to the Copper Brothel Brewery for Lunch. It was great. The food is very good, and the beer is outstanding. We tasted 2 flights (8 bears). Each beer has its own poster / art work. Very Fun.

Boondocking – Cieneguita

March 11, 2021 / / 0 Comments

Today, we arrived at our first boondocking / dry camping location (no hookups – electricity, water or sewer). It is in the hilly grasslands an hour southeast of Tucson. We have not attemted more than 1 night before. Our goal is to stay 4 nights.

We have the solar suitcase I built. It can supply as much as 190watts in the bright sunshine.

We are in the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area which has free camping and is a working ranch where the cattle roam free!
