350 days of sunshine - Tucson, Arizona

Feb 16/16 Weather 88, night 48.  And tomorrow 91.  A scorching day in the desert yet 51 at night.  The day to night change flabbergasts us; even though we have been in the desert climate 3 out of our 5 winters.   The first year out we bought an electric blanket since the previous owner had warned us about visiting the desert, "hot days and cold nights" she said.  
our temp is reading close to 100F  but its a dry heat right?

Watch out for Rattlesnakes,,,,, are you kidding me???  i hate snakes
We made a long days travel from Casa Grande to Tucson.  Ha ha, no we didn't!  60 miles.  Crazy you say?  Well we just like to move a little closer to the riding area for the motorcycle.  When we do a round trip run that cuts 2 or 3 hours out of the ride.  Yes, now you see how we think. 
There are many campgrounds around Tucson and we chose Western Way RV Resort, which is out of the urban area.   Tucson boasts 350 days of sunshine!  Well it was pretty hot the first couple days we moved into our site.
