Tucson, Arizona

After leaving our new friends Andy & Laura's house, we arrived at our friends, Dan and Roxanne’s house in Tucson in the late afternoon and got the RV parked just as it was getting dark.  We were parked under a big structure in the back of their property.  Roxanne was away in New York on business so the we went to dinner with Dan and got caught up on life.

The next day we did a hike with Dan and his friend, Tim, in Saguaro National Park on the Douglas Spring Trail.  It was a beautiful day and a great hike!

We love the saguaro cactus so it was fun seeing all the different shapes!

We hiked to a waterfall (Arizona style)!  It's called Bridal Wreath Falls.

After the hike we went out to dinner for ribs with Dan.  Al and I split one rack and Dan ate the other rack!  Those of you that know Dan will not be surprised by this!

The next morning we had to leave early.  We said a quick hello to Roxanne who returned from her business trip late the night before and we drove to Surprise, Arizona to drop off our RV for some minor repairs.  The dealer will keep our RV over the holidays.  

We spent the night in a hotel on the border of Arizona and California to break up the long road trip.  The next day we drove to Al’s mom’s house where we are staying for the holidays. 

Note:  I'm planning to do a Q&A blog entry so click on the title (if you're reading this entry in email) and then on our blog page there is a place to send me a note (in the right side column).  Put any questions you have for us there and we'll try to answer them in an upcoming entry.  I won't include your name so don't worry about "stupid" questions.  I'm sure others have the same questions too but are afraid to ask!
