We left Benson AZ and started heading west for about 50 miles before stopping at Rincon Country West RV Park in Tucson Arizona. Another passport america park that we have visited before.
While we miss the green, the birding and sandy beaches found in our previous locations, they are replaced in Arizona by great hiking and seeing different birds. One of our favorite places to walk and birdwatch is at the Sweetwater wetlands in northwestern Tucson. This is a riparian oasis created by treated water from the Tucson citizens.
It is easy to kill a couple of hours walking slowly around the manmade ponds searching for the flying denizens hiding in the reeds and desert scrub. One afternoon we were birding when I heard a rustling sound in the thick brush. Looking for the bird creating the noise I was suddenly very surprised to see a bobcat meandering through the scrub.
he bobcat appeared to be on a quest for either some water or a unsuspecting bird for a mid afternoon snack. Being on this mission it was not super interested in us and crossed the path we were on to get nearer to the water. Of course we snapped a ton of photos to commemorate this exciting moment.
Life is never dull on our Road of Retirement…
