Tucson

Happy Anniversary to us. November 1^st. We’re starting our fourth year on the road. If you can get entrenched in not being entrenched, it’s happening to us.

Mesquite tree update. It’s an olive tree.

150 rigs checking in today for a motorcycle rally. Tomorrow morning they all take a group ride.

Talking to neighbors here in the park in Tucson, we discover that we’re talking to Don McKee’s half sister, Barbara, twenty years older than he. What a coincidence! We hang out with Don and Barbara Mckee in Louisville for thirty-five years, then we run into Don’s older sister in Tucson. And know what she, Barbara formerly-McKee is here doing? She and her husband are here for the motorcycle rally. Eighty-five years old, and they’re here for the motorcycle rally.

Things not to do while fifth-wheeling. Don’t drive off without the hitch latched in place. If you don’t latch it, the trailer falls off the hitch, lands on the back of the pickup, makes a loud noise, does some damage, and you feel stupid. It just happened to a neighbor of ours this morning. I think it happens eventually to most every fifth-wheel driver.

Had dinner tonight with Jim and Elle, last seen in Colorado, they just crossed the border from Mexico, and we happened to end up in Tucson at the same park at the same time.

Enjoying this life on the road. It’s a trip.

Happy Anniversary to us.
