Here are some highlights of
this trip as remembered two days after getting home. Cattails State Park, Lake
Havasu, Arizona (hiking). Rincon Country West RV for two weeks (biking, bridge,
walking, Christmas Dinner, visiting tourists destinations around Tucson). Would
not stay there again because of being on the flight path for two airports –
civilian and military. Catalina State Park, Tucson (Hiking, birding, biking,
Nabucco (Live at Met at local cinema)). Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson Mountain
Park (hiking and scenery). Organ Pipe Cactus National Park (Hiking and Ranger
tour). Ajo (historic town). Quartzite and BLM camping (for the experience).
Fountain of Youth RV resort (Hiking, duplicate bridge, very friendly people and
hot spring pools). Joshua Tree National Park (the scenery) and Little Creek
Casino Resort (good seafood bar!).
Some statistics
For those who may be interested.
We were away 59 days. The RV drove 6028 KM – 101 KM per day. (Side trips in
Honda Fit not included). We “camped” in 25 different places. Our costs were
$69 CDN per day per person. 25% Fuel, 26% Food including alcohol, 6% ferries,
28% parks and 15% miscellaneous.
If it was summer time we
would have stayed in more remote camping spots – like BLM lands and National
Forest sites. In the winter you prefer to have at least electrical hookup and
stay on main routes.
