Jan 19 - Feb 16/2019 The weather is like spring weather to us. High 60's or low 70's. Sunny. No rain and no humidity in the desert. We think it is cooler than last year.
We are enjoying it actually and are happy to stay in Tucson for another month. We found the Voyager RV Resort has super long pull thrus and all amenities we need, even if we don't leave the park for a few days. Heated pools, golf, store, restaurant, library, hairdresser (oh good we need haircuts badly), massage, spa, activities, even a hotel for guests.
There are a few interesting events in the Tucson area we want to see. The Gem show especially. It is known worldwide as one of the best. Put that on the list.
Close by we can hear speedway cars running at full throttle? There must be a race track nearby. Found it!!!
We are out riding today over to Pima Fairgrounds and in this area is Tucson Speedway, Tucson Dragstrip, Tucson Shooting Range, Model Airplanes, Go Karts, and a Motorcycle Racetrack too. Everything for the outdoor enthusiast is here is one spot. We stopped to look at the campground and it is actually not too bad for a week or too. Good to know for future.
Let's see what else we can find today?
Our backroads map is taking us out towards Colossal Cave Mountain Park. The road up into it was a washboard, potholes everywhere. YIKES! Billy perserved up to the top. The building was beautifully built into the side of the mountain. You can take a self guided hike thru the caves; but Rosey and Billy are chickens of caves and this will not happen. Haha. We did see Kartchener Caves last year but that is different - it is huge and we had a guide with us. We are such babies........
It has been a home, shrine, hideout, inspiring workplace, exciting
playground, and a tranquil retreat. This place is on the National Historic Register. The
2,400-acre Park showcases the crystal-filled Colossal Cave and the historic La
Posta Quemada Ranch. Civilian Conversation Corps back in 1936 built the camp and unique stone building. It is quite a view and worth the nasty road up to see it.
