Feb 19/16 Weather 83, night warm about 58 a bit of cloud coverage keeping the warmth in. Just a few miles northwest of our RV park is the entrance to the Saguaro National Park - West.

The park preserves the desert landscape, fauna and flora contained
within two park sections, one east and the other west of Tucson. The
park was established to protect its namesake—the giant saguaro cactus.

What is most unusual is that the National Park is actually split in physical location by the Tucson urban center. Coyotes, mountain lion, bobcat, javelina, road runner, jack rabbits and quail are just a few of the animals that call this park home.
Since our RV park is close to the mountains we heard some wild life the other night. About 4 a.m. both of us woke up from the howling. First one howl then another answering the howling and eventually it sounded like a pack. Coyotes. They were most likely roaming the area and not nearly as close as they sounded.
