Tubac Trailer & Teather, Tubac, Arizona

I am an early riser, and took Jo Jo out to a beautiful sunrise. It's so fascinating seeing the shadows in the light hit mountains, looking so differently from the night before, but equally beautiful. 

We glided down the mountain easily and headed towards town to find propane. We wound up at a place called Tubac Trailer and Teather, were Dennis filled me up with a tank of propane, so heating soup will be a piece of cake now. We discussed where we would park for the day as the art show was conveniently right across the street. They wanted $8.00 for show parking. We also discussed where we would spend the night and realized that it would either be back up on that mountain, or further south towards the Mexican border. I'm glad that the light bulbs in the brain were working today, thinking we would ask, if by chance, Dennis had room in this very small RV Park. And yes he did for $27 a night with electric hookup, and showers!!! It was like winning the lottery, since we thought, why not spend a day or two here and enjoy walking to the show without the issue of finding a place to spend the night!? I honestly don't think we could have planned this any better! Cha ching!

Walking through the art show was a rather strange feeling, since it was on the other side of the street for me. I did see a handful of artists that I knew, and ones that I thought I knew, but it's been so long...who knows. We enjoyed ice cream, and JoJo, of course, got plenty of stranger love from literally everyone. I think he got tired and decided to start nipping people, as it became fairly overwhelming for him. I have said that I need one of those GoPro cameras on my forehead, to record the interaction and reactions of people. He definitely should get his own fan club going. We ended the evening in a Mexican restaurant serenaded by two guys, one of them was Elvis. Jo Jo was under the table and doing his usual begging, but the lovely couple from a farm, in Illiniois, sitting next to us, and the servers were all A-Okay with his pesky antics. It was a really great time and we just simply walked across the street back to the RV. What an enjoyable day!

At home now… from the great 2023 Alaska Road Trip!

​ Jo Jo and I are home, from the trip of a lifetime! 106 days, 11,539 miles, 675 gallons of gasoline, a ton of fun, beautiful views, and amazing experiences. Other than a brief head cold, no other mishaps, except my souvenir windshield chips. The Sylver Gypsy performed wonderfully. She kept me safe and warm. My last days were drive heavy, but I managed a quick stop at Bryce Canyon National Park. My last night was in the Coconino Forest near Flagstaff, where I also made a brief stop at Sunset Crater. I’ll need a few moments to adjust being back to reality, but it’s nice to be home!

Bryce Canyon National Park, then almost home

​ A great night in the Utah desert, and a rather chilly morning, surprisingly, but I got up and hurried out of there with the intention of getting to Bryce Canyon National Park. I wondered if I would have enough time and decided it was only 20 minutes one-way, out-of-the-way as I continued on my route home. This would be my third time visiting Bryce and I’m so glad I did. As with any National Park, there are some new changes and the Ranger told me that because I’m over 20 feet I would have to park in the main parking lot and take the shuttle bus in to see the viewpoints. She gave me a tag to hang in my window. My heart sank to the bottom, since I know the shuttle buses will not except pets, and I was not willing to leave Jo Jo. However, upon examining the tag, it indicated vehicles over 23 feet to park and shuttle. My Travato is 21 feet. Hmmmm, I was annoyed. So I ignored the directions and went straight to the parking area at the sunrise amphitheater and not only did I see other campe...

​ Well, another day of long driving and just two fill ups, but then I did stop at a place called Rowley’s Red Barn farm market. I wonder why they were so many people and kids and then I realized it was Labor Day. They had so many goodies there I wound up getting a fresh peach, tomato, and corn on the cob, and some apples. Of course, I had to get the chocolate covered caramel popcorn and chocolate covered blueberries, just as a souvenir from leaving the blueberry season in Alaska. Leave it to me to justify all my purchases. I kept driving and driving and got to a dispersed spot in the desert, just nearby Beaver, Utah. The first directions lead me to a very narrow roadway, which I elected not to take. Though further on down the road, about a quarter of a mile, I found a pull out intersecting between two roads and this is where I stayed. Except for a few farm vehicles, it was a restful night and a chilly morning. It’s near the highway full of sage, juniper and rolling mountains. I enjoyed...
