Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

















Yesterday we walked a lot, like 8 miles a lot.  A couple of walks with the kids and then we spent nearly 3 hours at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.  This museum is probably one of the nicest, well thought out museums we have ever been to.  

The people who designed this place put a lot of effort into blending the exhibitions right into the landscape.  The exhibits are all related to Arizona and or the stretch of the vast Sonoran Desert including the Colorado River Watershed.  There were quite a few families treating it as a school day for their “students” which I thought was creative.  

After touring the 12 unique zones at the museum, we came back and walked the dogs again.  They did great in the trailer alone.  We played a few games of Yahtzee and then went to meet Sue to pick up our dinner.  

We cooked the pasties and watched the sun go down.  It was a great day.  80* for the high and 46* for the low.

    Loving your blog...reminds us of all the traveling we did in our motorhome across the U.S for years. We also loved the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Since you're in the Tucson area, have you visited the "boneyard"? Don't know if they're still offering tours during Covid, though.
    Looking forward to more of your adventures...Susie & Ted Atlee

      The boneyard is closed to entry. The air and space museum is open. I found your Corsair.

      Too bad the boneyard is closed. The Pima Air Museum has a pretty comprehensive variety of warbirds. Unfortunately, I'm sure most of those outside are not in the best shape any more. Ahhhhh, yes, the beautiful Corsair!

The End of 24’

 As 2024 comes to a close, we are in a cabin near Show Low AZ.  This area is beautiful at first glance and we will be here for a week.  It reminds us of Bend/Sisters, but it’s way smaller.  This is the first time Katy has been out of the RV since 12/1/20.  We are looking forward to exploring this area.  We hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all have a happy New Year!   We took a trip up to Tucson and stayed at Catalina State Park.  It was a great trip and we enjoyed the lights at the botanical gardens.  The state park is great and really spread out.  We also had a seRV event with Full Time Families, where we made cards for the kids and families at Ronald McDonald House.  It was an amazing event and we enjoyed seeing old friends and making new ones.  The kids who participated were awesome, they helped us set up and tear down.   The next day we co-hosted another event in Sierra Vista.  We partnered with Wr...

North Again?

Well, a lot has happened in the past month.     2025 is starting off pretty big.     We had a great time in the Show Low, Pine Top and Lakeside area.     Katy and I stayed in a one room cabin with the pups and it was fun, but after a few days we missed having our own stuff and our bed.     The area is cool and we had fun exploring Greer which was like driving down to the Metolius.    We went up to the ski hill the same day.    There were 1 or 2 runs open of man made snow and about 400 cars worth of people sharing the hill.    Not our jam.    The Pinetop Brewing Co was a fun stop, they have great beers and good food.    Beer brewed at 7,000’.   We took a tour of Petrified Forest NP and really like it.    It is a mixture of Blue Basin, The Painted Hills and the Badlands with a spattering of Fossilized Trees.    It’s worth getting out and taking the short loops in the par...

Want to go to Skagway?

Friday we drove from Teslin Lake to Whitehorse Yukon.    We got on the road pretty early and were surprised to not see any wildlife along the way.    First stop was the laundromat.    Two XL washers and three dryers later and we were in business.    We met another full time couple doing laundry, who are traveling to Juneau for the summer.   Barry said they had a 5 hour ferry ride from Skagway to Juneau.    We then got to chatting about Skagway and the fact it was only two hours away.    I had been looking at it on maps but didn’t realize we were that close.    We parted ways and headed to Woodcutter’s Blanket Bar and Brewery for lunch.    Good beer…pass on the food.    While at the bar, I suggested we head to Skagway for a night or two as we will not have full hookups in Fairbanks until 5/4 ish.    I then talked myself out of it and Katy said let’s go for it.   We book...
