Bonjour à tous Cette journée j'aurais pu l'intitulée CACTUS. Hier au soir à mon retour de souper à 20h30 le thermomètre était encore à 34°. Ce matin à mon départ à 7h30, 31°. Il est exceptionnel, que je laisse la clim enclenchée la nuit, mais réglée à 25° c'est supportable.Vous l'avez vu hier à l'hôtel, il y a une belle piscine, je vais faire bondir certains et certaines mais j'ai renoncé à me baigner, de l'eau à plus de 35°, je ne trouve pas ça agréable, je me suis rabattu sur une douche plus fraîche. Avec 1 h de moins encore hier ce matin je décolle de bonne heure, pour faire un tour dans le centre ville avant la chaleur, aujourd'hui prévue à 45. J'avais eu un aperçu du centre, hier en arrivant, et ce matin ... read more

We want to start by thanking the Tanner Family: Mark, Diane, Luke, Seth and Becky. Mark and Diane let us park in their backyard for 20 days and it has been a great visit with the Tanner's and Tucson. We also want to thank Wayne and Ronda Jordan for the great visit to the Phoenix/Chandler area and the day on the Apache Trail. We are going to miss Arizona but what we will mostly miss is the family that made this stop so memorable. Since our last posting we have certainly been on the move visiting the Pima Air and Space Museum at Davis Monthan AFB, Colossal Cave here in Tucson, the Titan Missile Museum, Casa Grande Indian Ruins, Goldfield Mine museum at the Superstition Mountains, driven the Apache Trail through Tortilla Flats all the way ... read more

This year, I’ve decided to make a couple of changes to my documentation of The Great Adventure. First, in an effort to shorten the post, I plan to pass along information about the attraction itself and to leave the research of the background information to those whose interest level so dictates. Second, I am going to post the hyperlink travelblog.org provides me after I publish each blog to my facebook.com account. Last, I hope (with the shorter format) to get the posts published in a timelier fashion. I departed the Countryside RV Resort in Apache Junction AZ on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 – a beautiful southwestern winter day with brilliant blue skies, mild temperatures and only a slight breeze. The drive to Whispering Palms RV Park in Tucson AZ was uneventful; however, my space was a ... read more
