Sequaro National Park

1/2/2007
Slept good last night, other than waking up to be cold, wow i figured that AZ wouldn't be this cold at night. So far since we have been in Cal or AZ we have had to run the heat all night.
Went over at the station and filled up with gas and dumped, it was free to dump, but couldn't get water as it was a bit inconvienant. had a guy in front of us in a trailer and he let his black and gray water run all over the dump site, good thing they had a concrete casing around it, god what a mess. not sure but i don't think he put anything up against his hose to hold it in and it spewed out when he opened the valve. YUKKKKK!



Drove down the road and saw the sign for Saquaro National Park. Nice area. got in free, with the golden age card.














Then we moved on down to the Senora Desert Museum.... Nice area as well the cost to get in was $12 per person. Too bad my feet gave out to walk the whole thing, but they sure were hurting by the time we did the National Park and all the walking at the museum.







Did you know when a Saquaro reaches about 75 yrs of age, they might begin growing branches of arms.And seldom live longer than 200 yrs old.


We then drove down to Old Town Tuscon were they made all the movies. Neat place. the lady at the desk charged us $10 to get in, told us if we hurried we could see the gunfight they were having at 3:30 so we rushed on out, saw the show, but it wasn't more than 15 minutes later they announced that they were closeing at 4 pm . well now that really upset me. so i went back to the ticket office at the store and said to the lady, i sure wish you would of told us that it closes at 4 as i would of forgot the trip in here and come back tomorrow. She had a dumbfounded look on her face and said do you have your ticket. I said yes, she said i will refund your money. which she did. so we will go back tomorrow.

We went looking for a rv campground and couldn't find much in town. accept a mobile home park that allowed rv parking so we decided that since we wanted to go back to the old town that we would get it. full hookups are $20 there was campground at the National park for $20 but no water only elec. so decided if we were going to pay it would be full hookup. Altho i was disappointed that all these mobiles and not one had wifi.
The rules did state only one pet allowed. but she never did ask if we had any, so not sure if all that ment for if you were planing on staying more than one night; oh well she didn't ask and we didn't tell. since its my home and they don't go out. Princess still is not getting the fact that she can potty outside so won't have to worry about takeing her out . She loves to go out but sure waits till she is back in the motor home to potty.

I am fixing stew tonight in the crock pot since we have elec so will cook it all night long rather than using the inverter tomorrow.
