Tucson AZ Jan 28 – Feb 1, 2022

We have been going non-stop it seems since we left home 2 1/2 months ago.  Downtime is greatly needed.  It’s really peaceful camping on the desert.  It looks like we are alone but there are at least 2 dozen camping units here.  You are allowed to stay 2 weeks maximum then you must move 25 miles away to another spot.

Some campers really set up house.

Others enjoy the communal living. 2 buses, 4 tents, 1 jeep and 6 kids, 5 dogs and 8 adults. Beer for breakfast, weed for lunch and unsure what’s on the menu for supper. One smelly stoner hippie came over and shared his tomatoes with us, his “neighbors”.  In return Laureen gave them a pomelo and got some interesting information from him and one of their kids. It’s quite an interesting way of life. The oldest boy showed me his prized possessions, 2 rocks from Quartzite. He also asked me if my trailer was like his bus.  His mom cleans his every morning and then 15 minutes later it’s dirty again.  ????

Kids will be kids. They play anywhere.

I guess the dogs and kids were too loud for this guy.  He picked up his house and moved.  I love desert life!

Who needs a shop? Changing tubes on the bikes.  Darn Goat’s heads.

Next stop Tombstone, then New Mexico.
