Agave Gulch

It has been a great day. Any day that starts at Trader Joe’s is a great day. I think we left some stuff for the rest of you, but not much. The coach is sagging a bit under the weight of the Two Buck Chuck.

We had a terrific lunch at Marc and Patricia’s club this afternoon. It was another celebration of Huguette’s birthday, which is today. Our thanks to Marc and Patricia for being such gracious hosts. Their hospitality was a God send with the coach in the shop all week.

With shopping and lunch behind us it was time to pick up the coach at the service center. Freedom RV in Tucson did a very good job of performing the repair and they are a very friendly group. Everything seems fine with the coach. We checked it out before leaving the shop this afternoon and it all set up properly when we got to the camp ground this evening. We are parked facing the northern foothills and are watching the sunset’s affects on the gorgeous Catalina Mountains. 

Our home tonight is the military campground on Davis-Monthan AFB. It is a very nice facility staffed by friendly people. The normal campsites are full, so we are parked in what is called "overflow". It is a parking spot without water and electricity. We have water stored on board and a generator to provide air conditioning and power for the TV so we are fine. Luckily the evenings cool off because we need to turn the generator off by 1030. Quiet time is 1030 to 0700.

Tomorrow we have a very long driving day as we hope to reach Van Horn, TX. That will leave us in easy reach of Terlingua, TX and the camp ground we will use as a base for exploring Big Bend National Park.
