The drive took us through typical old-west desert scenery ... scrub, cacti, sand, rocks, tumbleweed, dust devils and dry river beds. It sprinkled briefly. Precipitation actually fell from a cloud that wouldn't have produced anything back home. Maybe the single lightning flash we thought was heat lightning scared it.
It was 104 degrees when we arrived in Tucson. We're staying in a fantastic RV park (Rincon Country West RV Resort). There are 1083 sites. The grounds and facilities are beautifully tended.
Carol connected with her cousin Jim Holtshouse (from Bucyrus). Jim and his wife Marlene are retired and live in a beautiful home in the mountains above Tucson. We drove there for a visit. Unfortunately, we arrived after dark and only have a few pictures to share.

We talked until closing time and regretfully had to say goodbye. Jim and Marlene may visit us in Columbus next fall. |
