The Southwest Beckons
Not without a mechanical hiccup or two, we made it to Albuquerque the second night out of Iowa. We spent two days and had a very nice visit with Barbara's father. Charles is getting quite stiff, and walks slowly, but she and he had some really good conversations (and he liked the cookies she had baked in the rig while we were there).
After another day's driving, we made it to Tucson, or actually through Tucson to the north side of the city and found a spot at Catalina State Park. This is a real gem, and we highly recommend it for our RV friends. The sites are widely spaced and the facilities are excellent. Campground "B", which we were in is only 2-3 years old and the hookups are excellent. During a 2 week stopover we had the chance to see Anne and RC in Phoenix and Karen in Tucson, as well as some friends in Saddlebrook.
I have been doing a fair amount of reading between work and travel, and for my birthday, Barbara gave me an Amazon Kindle . . a really "neat" electronic book reader. I am finding it quite useful, and though of course it cannot in its present form totally replace all printed books, I think the concept is here to stay. I'll give a report with my experience and opinion later.
