A Little Winter Blast & the Twins

 

We have a weather radio that we listen to often and knew that a major weather change was coming so when we awoke in Ironwood to dark clouds looming over us we broke camp early and got back up into Gilbert Ray in Tuscon Mountain Park adjacent to Suguaro National Park just west of Tucson. It is a little more protected and a favorite place of ours, but we barely got set up before it started raining, then blowing, then snowing. Not a lot of the white stuff stuck where we were but just above us on the hills that we have hiked in shorts and sun hats over the last month or so there was a good covering.

We spent Valentine's day on a 'double date' with Doug and Frankie to a cheap taco stand for one of our very rare meals 'out' and then hung around for a few more days to restock.

We ran into another couple from Colorado that have a slightly older but otherwise nearly identical rig to ours. We parked nose to nose for a while and spent a lot of time comparing notes and trading tips, storage solutions, and adventures. They are great folks that are newly retired and we hope to meet up with them again sometime in the next few weeks as we all wander in the desert.
