I have been pouring through my photos from my August vacation to Arizona. They are great photos (to me) of family, friends, places I enjoyed visiting, and our RV. I take far too many photos and then usually just leave them. When I share them with friends, they then have to sit through multiple shots [...]

During our August trip, I spent a morning at Tohono Chul Park in Tucson, AZ. The park is in a most idyllic setting at the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. I did not have a chance to visit all of the park but that will guarantee a return visit! I did visit the Children’s [...]

Picacho Peak is one of the mountain views from our property in Marana, AZ. In our view, it looks like a hog’s head to me.
This trip we were able to visit Picacho Peak State Park. I was shocked to see the hog’s head I see from Marana is actually two peaks, one behind the other.

I am giving myself time to write today as a reward for having met some deadlines. I am in the process of writing a thesis to culminate my latest graduate school experience. The thesis is on travel, but I am writing with guidelines and deadlines rather than the free-flowing personal nature of my blog posts. [...]

Do I need to say that I am still homebound? Anyway, last Sunday I had a delightful time entertaining friends with my husband. The two couples that we had over for dinner are also Rvers with class A Motorhomes. The two couples had both recently been away but neither had been in their RV’s. One [...]

How do you enjoy the benefits of rving when you are homebound? Plan a future trip and imagine what can be seen from the rear view window!
I love to just open the atlas to a page and read the map. Green spaces, whether state parks, national parks, or other greens, are revealed. Colleges, universities, museums, [...]
Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument

Yesterday’s adventure was to Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. It is about 1 1/2 hours from Tucson via Rte. 86 and Rte. 85. The number of shrines to those killed on this road made us leery to travel it at night, so we took the much longer route Rte. 85 to I-8 to I-10. [...]
Viewing the Stars

Two nights ago, we went to look at the moon and stars. The moon was just past full, so providing lots of light, in fact too much light for optimal stargazing. But, the sky was darker and the stars brighter than what we are used to seeing in NJ. To get a dark sky, we [...]
On the road to Tombstone
Posted in arizona, places to visit, tucson on March 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Today’s adventure was a trip to Tombstone. We visited Boot Hill Graveyard where the Clantons of OK Corral fame are buried. The 1880 – 1900 time period in Tombstone was very violent, if you believe the tombstones. Stabbings, murder, death by wagon wheel running over a skull, poisoning, suicide, mob lynching, legal hanging were some [...]
