Tucson, Arizona & Saguaro National Park

Tucson was our next destination as we continue to work our way west towards California. We wanted to stay in Tucson for a few days to explore the area, scope out the RV Parks, get a feel for the golf courses, and see if this is somewhere we would like to spend next winter. We arrived on a Friday afternoon, stayed four nights, and what a whirlwind trip. Saturday we did nothing but visit RV Parks, from one end of town to the other. Wow, is Tucson ever spread out!! We gathered data on prices, location, amenities; proximity to golf courses; proximity to shopping centers. It seemed that each park had things we liked, and things we didn't, and by the end of the day we didn't feel any closer to making a decision than when we had started.  

Easter Sunday we checked out a couple more RV Parks in the morning, and then took off for a hike in the Saguaro National Park. Although at first glance, the desert seems like a vast and barren landscape, it truly has its own beauty that can only be appreciated if you give it the time and attention it deserves. Walking along the trail we saw many different desert flowers blooming, lizards scurrying about, interesting rock formations, and multiple types of cacti, with the saguaro, of course, holding court over all.  

Monday we played a round of golf on a true desert style golf course. All I can say about that is you don't have to worry too much about losing your ball in the water. Now those hundreds of sand bunkers, that's something else altogether! We left Tucson Tuesday to head for Yuma for another exploratory trip.
