Tucson Ends

Tuesday was our last full day in Tucson.  We have met some very nice people and become reacquainted with old friends.  Donna and I have never spent a month at any place other than home, so the "resort" environment was a new experience for us. We were concerned about integrating into the environment since we're not very good at quilting, jewelry making, line dancing and the like, but somehow we managed to fill all of the days with good times!

Dale, our Michigan friend, proposed a morning golf excursion on Tuesday, and organized a trip to two separate golf courses.  I had told him that I needed to hit a few practice balls, so we went to a posh, upscale, fantastic course in the Oro Valley, where we were given a cart to go to the driving range. Unlimited balls, courtesy bag placement, and smiling attendants made the experience one to remember! Then it was off to El Conquistador for a quick nine holes.

Located also in Oro Valley, just north of Tucson, it's a lovely, older course.

Thanks for a great time, Dale!

In the evening, Donna fixed Chicken Taco Salad and invited the two remaining Newmar motorhome owners in the park to share dinner with us.

Lisa took the picture with her iPhone, so we couldn't get her picture. Rest assured that she is a lovely lady. Dale and Lisa have a Dutch Star, and Steve and Susan have an Essex, one of Newmars' top models.  The park is clearing out as snowbirds bail for home. The park, Rincon West RV Resort, has been a nice place to stay, with accommodations for hiking, biking, crafts, and activities, along with a clean place to park the RV. The wifi isn't up to par, and the bicycle theft issue was a concern, but all in all, not too bad.  We would return, should we be in the area again.

Wednesday morning we split for New Mexico.

Where, 357 miles later, we found ourselves in Alamogordo, NM, at the Boot Hill RV Resort. It's a little rustic, but very clean and the owners are very nice. They are a Christian family that lists Bible verses in their park brochure and have a lighted cross over the office. Very comforting in these days; I admire their beliefs. We've been given a large package of literature to peruse about things to do in the area. We're going to hang in site 605 for a few days to check out the Open House at the Trinity Test Site on White Sands Missile Range. This is pistachio country, so somewhere between the Worlds Largest Pistachio and White Sands, we'll post a few pictures.
