The local RV Park wash guys did a good job at getting the sea salt off the coach.

We drove south of Tucson to the town of Tubac and checked out some of the art shops. Very cool town.

Outside of town is the Tumacácori National Historical Park, Cody was not allowed in so we just checked out the grounds that we could and then watched the video on the National Park Service website - https://www.nps.gov/tuma/index.htm

I love that they have a program to monitor the Monarch butterflies. I have to say, I only seen 1 Monarch last year, not good! - https://www.monarchwatch.org

Darrel snapped this awesome looking cactus on the Anza Trailhead.

Next stop, fresh made-to-order chips and salsa - the wait was well worth it at Wisdom's Cafe - https://www.wisdomscafe.com

Another Border Security checkpoint cleared as we travel north back to Tucson. We were very close to the Mexican border.

Cody enjoying his Valentine from Darrel and I.

Valentine's Day brunch with Darrel, while Cody is at the spa.

Back from the spa and time to relax!

I am so thankful for being able to share this Valentine's Day with Darrel and Cody here in Arizona. We are more than 3/4 way through our journey this year and we have seen and done so many amazing things. I can't imagine doing something like this without them! Love you lots!

A welcomed day spent sightseeing as the cool weather and driving days kept us from enjoying the outdoors. It is nice to be outside again after a long drive from the Gulf shore.

Amazing lookout over Old Tucson.

Cacti for days!

Tucson in the distance, a nice park on the fringe of the city.

As we got back into the Jeep, there was a steep decent down the mountain with a sign warning not to drink and drive. Where was the sign that says steep decent and no guard rail. Ironically, coming up the hill there was a car in the ditch that was being winched out. I guess this is a common occurrence here, however this cliff is very high up and it is straight down with no guards. Eeek.

At the bottom of the mountain now, glad to park and look back up from where we came from. Tucson is on the other side of this mountain.

Old Tucson is a cute western town themed attraction in the middle of the desert - https://oldtucson.com

They have western themed shows.

Amazing to see so many saguaro cacti, had to FaceTime Tyshawn and let him see "Johnny" (yes, there is a story here, be sure to ask me) - https://www.nps.gov/sagu/index.htm

A barrel cactus getting ready to bloom. I once was in Phoenix and got to see the desert in full bloom. So beautiful to see.

Over 5000 saguaro cactus - amazing check out this link for come cool facts and informatioin - https://www.nps.gov/sagu/learn/nature/saguaro.htm

The Saguaro National Park was pretty to see, we will come back for a day hike.

On our way back to Tucson. Lots of cool desert sites were seen and we can't wait to come back and enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer here in Arizona.

Home now to watch the Super Bowl. All the US commercials are great, too bad they are not all shown in Canada.
