Well, the time finally came for us to leave Mesa Arizona where we spent the winter. Before leaving during our last week we spent time to give the inside and out of the RV, a thorough cleaning and waxing. As many of you know who do this, it really takes a full week to get it done.
Some always ask why I don't have my RV washed and waxed by a vendor and I always remind them that I love to do hand waxing at least once a year by myself so that I am able detect any of the flaws in the exterior that may otherwise would go undetected.
Once we finished getting everything cleaned, we packed up the rig and it was time to hit the road. Our next stop was in Tucson, Arizona, a favorite stop of ours on our way East.
While in Tucson, we did a few hikes and birded the Sweetwater Wetlands Reserve in North Tucson. The reserve is always a great place to stroll and see the birds of the area before they migrate away.
We also took a day trip down to Florida Canyon adjacent to Madera canyon south of town. Here we walked the trail at a steep incline to do a little more birding and sightseeing. It was another great hike.
The day before we were supposed to leave, we went over to Saguaro National Park East where we took the loop drive. Since the weather was a bit on the chilly and drizzly side it was a great way to spend the day as can be attested by our many pictures. The desert and the mountains project a different mood when it's overcast and rainy.
Our plan after Tucson is to head down to Sierra Vista, Arizona to do a little more hiking and birding. As it turns out it will be a good move as it is projected to be much better (cooler) weather there so we are glad for that!
