Arrived at Tucson, AZ

Finally arrived in Tucson.  The Desert Trails RV Park looks very nice, with activities galore.  And tis true that we back right up to the Saguaro National Park, with hiking and biking trails almost to our campsite.  Christmas carolers offering cookies and hot chocolate.  This we like!

So we pull up to our campsite.  Knock on our neighbors' door to ask them to move their truck a little. 

Bark, bark, bark!  Up bounds Rusty, an adult Australian Terrier!!  So we spent the next 30 minutes trading funny stories about our dogs.  Same noises, same behaviors, same feistiness.  They jump and play and all is well in dog land.

Next day, while Bruce works on the slideout under the trailer, Rusty harasses him to play with a rock, just like you-know-who.

Later in the day, Bruce meets two different couples from Olympia, one of whom will shortly undergo the same knee surgery he had one year ago.  Plus another couple from nearby Shelton and others from WA.  All fleeing the same rain and cold, no doubt. 

No pictures yet.  Too windy today, ahead of a cold front approaching from CA.

Those #!* Californians are always doing this to us Arizonians.    When was the last time we sent a storm in their direction??  Never!!  They have it in for us, sure 'nough.  Just jealous 'cause their state is more broke than ours.  Ha ha!

Peace.
