Las Vegas NV to Tucson AZ

Most of the next few days were traveling so not very many photos were taken.

October 27th Las Vegas NV to Prescott AZ
We camped in Prescott for 2 evenings. We went there to look at RV Storage facilities, and the possibility of storing our truck and trailer there for the summer. We also visited a friend who lives in Camp Verda which is about 30 miles from Prescott. The 2nd evening that we were there was a major wind storm, gusts were shaking our trailer all evening, kind of scary.

October 28th Prescott AZ to Tucson AZ
We were very fortunate driving thru Phoenix that we had the radio on and heard that a dust storm had caused a major accident on I-10 east of Phoenix and that was the road we had planned on taking and now it was closed. Holly punched into the GPS an alternate routing thru Florence, which meant we avoided I-10 and the road closure (closed for a least 5 hours with 3 fatalities).

We came into Tucson from the NE and the road was near Catalina State Park Campground where we had planned at staying at for our 1st few nights in Tucson. This camp is a large camp with lots of space between sites and lots of trees. The facility is keep extremely clean. There are some very nice hikes in Catalina State Park starting very near the camp. The temperatures in Tucson are 9 degrees below normal for this time of the year.
