We researched where to go after leaving Kartchner Caverns (our next stop). Dave and Leslie came over and we discussed options...finally deciding to try to get into Gilbert Ray County Campground. It is a first come, first serve campground just outside of Tucson. While we were at it, we made reservations for Catalina State Park and Picacho Peak State Park. We seem to be experiencing a lot more difficulty getting reservations in state parks this year...more so than in previous years.
After that was all taken care of, we decided to walk up to the Visitors Center and watch a video about the formation of City of Rocks. It was an old VHS recording that had seen better days.
Walking back home to have lunch...
It's amazing how this tree has survived in mostly rock...
We chilled for awhile, did a little work on the blog, and next thing we knew, it was happy hour. Rather than even try to sit outside today, we decided to just stay in...it cools down so fast in the late afternoon. After a couple of hours chatting about our adventures, we called it an evening..time to get dinner going.
We ended the day relaxing in front of the TV...another great day!
Definitely one of the coolest places we have ever been. Plus we had some pretty good company to enjoy it with ;) cheers guys
ReplyDeleteWe always have fun with you guys no matter where we are!
DeleteThat's funny, we always forget about geocaches when traveling as well. The grinding holes are really cool, they only other ones we have seen were the ones you showed us in Quartzsite.
ReplyDeleteWe've seen quite a few grinding holes in the southwest this year.
DeleteSuch a fun place! We'd have loved it here as kids.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a great playground for adults too!
DeleteI love the drive just over the border from NM to AZ. Those borders south of the freeway just as you enter AZ need to have a State Park!
