Bluff UT – Tucson NM


November 25th thru December 1st
We left Bluff with the intend of camping in Show Low, but we decided to drive all the way to Globe that afternoon. The drive was thru some amazingly beautiful country, the scenery reminded me a lot of the Grand Canyon. The road had many bends and it seemed as if we weren't climbing we were descending. A great deal of the road was 6% and 7% grade, so it was pretty steep, the engine braking feature of our truck was greatly appreciated. It is not a road I would recommend to anyone that is towing.
We arrived at a Casino campground in Globe just before dark and it was full so we spent the evening in the Casino parking lot which was just fine. The following day we drove to the 100 miles to Tucson. In Tucson we stayed in a campground that we really enjoyed for 5 nights. The campground was massive and it is the Rincon Country West Campground, there are over 1000 sites there including Park Models. There is lots of activities happening, I played in a pool tournament and to my surprise was not eliminated in the 1st round. Every day we spend time in the lovely large swimming pool and one of the 2 jacuzzi. We had a wonderful 5 days doing pretty much nothing but relaxing.

I am sorry there are  photo's with this posting, the last time I transferred my photo's from my camera I left the memory card in the computer. oops
