March, 2009
We spent 2 weeks in Tucson soaking up sun. The Far Horizons East RV Park was a new experience for us because most of the snowbirds have been spending winters here for years in their RV or park model home. This resort provides a very active schedule of dinners, classes, clubs and outings. We enjoyed the sense of community.
We really enjoyed our hikes in the Saguaro National Park. These unique cacti grow profusely with no two the same. I went nuts with the camera. I also went nuts with the heat and elevation. Even though we had water, I collapsed from dehydration on a mountain top. Once recovered, we limped down to buy a big hat and backpack water carrier. Chiropractic was in my immediate future.
We visited several great places while there. The Titan Missile Silo and Pima Air Museum were a step back in time in the Cold War and air history. Tombstone was a step way back to Earp, Hitchcock, and the Clanton’s at the OK Corral. Further back still, we visited Tubac to see the ruins of pueblos and fort. Mt. Lemmon was an interesting geologic time warp.
We made great friends, relaxed, and ate more Mexican food.
NEXT TIME: San Xavier Mission, Sabino Canyon
