St David, Arizona High 75 Low 46
We started out the day by going over to the Escapee Park.
They are having what they call Shoot-out at The Saguaro Corral. We thought it
started today, but they were just setting up for it. It starts tomorrow at
3:00.
I forget to mention, about what happened on the way to
Benson. We were pulling the fiver along the freeway this side of Tucson. I went
over a little hill, and right in front of me there was a recap tire in my lane.
There was a truck on the left side of me, so I couldn't move over. I slowed
down as much as I could, but still ran over the recap. I watched it in the
mirror and it went off the side of the road. I didn't think too much about it
and continued to the RV Park in Benson. At the time I mentioned to Cindy, that
I hated to run over them, but had no choice. I had heard about some of them
causing lots of damage, including tearing off holding tanks. When we got to
this park, I saw what looked like tire marks on the right front lower portion
of the trailer. When I looked at it, the corner molding was broken, and the
aluminum frame at the corner was bent. Looking underneath, the large aluminum
skin also had a dent in it. The damage wasn't’t too bad, but still took me an
hour to repair it. It looks like it never is a good thing to run over dead
recaps.
Tonight we went to an
all you can eat spaghetti dinner at the activity center. It was very good and
if you went home hungry, it was your own fault.
I went out this evening to get some photos of the sunset.
There were quite a few clouds, and I thought there might be some good pictures.
I got a few and was ready to go back to the trailer, but the longer I stayed
the better it got. I ended up getting some really nice shots. And as always,
after the best, it only took a short time until they sun was totally gone.
Tomorrow we have a reservation to see Gammon’s Gulch, which
is supposed to be really interesting.
Thanks for visiting.
Ugh - hate those 'alligators' --tire pieces in the road. Hope everything got fixed ok. Those are some beautiful sunsets!
