We visited both the Tucson Saguaro National Park East and West but learned unless there are some clouds the sunsets are not “picture worthy”. Here are the pictures from the East park.
And, of course with a sunset is the moon rise!
We also thought this cacti pic had a bit of a sense of humor to it 🙂
A few more pictures just before sunset we thought were particularly beautiful.
Our first greeter at the Tucson Desert Museum was this beautiful Spotted Owl. We had no idea they were so large!
We had the opportunity to see the Flight of the Raptors, here are a few shots of those including an Owl and a Hawk!
Another beautiful pair of resident wolves.
And my experience to hear what a bat hears! The ears are proportional to my size to match that of the bat!
And, of course, MORE Cacti!
Here we are in beautiful downtown Tacna, Az. Sand, cow pasture perfume and train every hour or so! But hey, it’s only $190 per month or $20/night! It’s only one night, then on to the Phoenix area. The adventure rolls on! I’d add pictures/video but really, there’s no need!
Made it to our first stop on our adventure here at Fiddler’s Cove in Coronado. Beautiful spot (just wish it were a bit warmer!) We’ll be here 2 weeks while we prepare for the rest of our journey. Trying to determine where we can go next that’s not so darn cold! As of now I think we’ve decided on Tucson area; same temperatures but on or route towards southeast Texas where (hopefully) it will be warmer!
Santee Lakes is just the beginning of our adventure! From here, as soon as I retire on December 23, 2015. We will begin preparations for the next chapter. We’ll be at the Lakes until January 1st and then on to Fiddler’s Cove in Coronado until Jan 15th to set up our 5th wheel for our one year adventure. We will be visiting Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, if it is not too under water. Then as the north warms we will work our way up towards Colorado for an extended stay near our beautiful grandchildren, Aneka and Reeve. How exciting to be able to stay and visit with them for more than a week at a time! We will also be able to spend time with friends in Creed, Colorado Springs, Denver, Louisville and Sterling. Never before had we had this much quality time to enjoy with family and friends outside of California!
