The weekend was spent fussing and fuming about the motorhome hot water system. My previous post detailed the issue, and the situation did not improve over the weekend, so, after a quick call to tech support at the system manufacturer, it was off to Freedom RV to come to a resolution. I spent much of the weekend running scenarios through my mind in anticipation of this mornings discussion. Unfortunately, as soon as I explained the symptoms, Brad, the service manager, immediately made arrangements for a service tech to come to the park and completely change the fluid again. This took most of the wind out of my "angry" sails, and resolved the issue completely. I think. A few days of use will soon tell us if we are 100%. Kudos to Freedom RV in Tucson for immediately stepping up and fixing the problem. it's just unfortunate that we had to do without hot water for a couple of days.
After lunch Donna and I visited Saguaro National Park. Pronounced Sah-Wah-row hereabouts, the park is divided into two separate areas. The eastern section, called Rincon Mountain, is where we went today, driving a paved 8 mile loop road through magnificent Saguaro cactus scattered about like sentinels.
Saguaros are very slow growing, requiring about 75 years to reach 16 feet in height. At about that height the cactus begins to grow "arms". The following cactus is estimated to be about 150 years old.
An abundance of smaller cactus cover the ground around the Saguaros. This colorful specimen is hiding near the main road.
Hopefully we've completed our "chores" and can enjoy our last few days in Arizona. The weather has been wonderful, if a bit breezy, and short pants are the order of the day. We're looking forward to a bit of fun!
Whoa, I didn't know that about Saguaros! Makes you admire their stately beauty all the more knowing they are so old. Cactus are lovely!
