December 15th Anchorage Alaska

December 15th Anchorage Alaska
Since I last wrote my blog we have hiked up Tumamoc Hill with our friends who live in Green Valley. Tumamoc Hill walk is about a 1000ft gain over 1.6 mile on a paved road. On the top you get a great view of Tucson.
We put our truck and trailer in storage at RCW on December 11th and flew back to Anchorage in the late afternoon to arrive home about midnight.
In Anchorage the temperatures are about 15F. I cleared the driveways of about 8” of snow yesterday afternoon and about the same this morning and it is still snowing so more snow will be getting moved tomorrow.
   We have had the wood stove going continuous since we got home, so we are enjoying a typical northern climate winter weather.

We went to a Tuba Christmas concert held in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center in downtown Anchorage yesterday afternoon. Tuba Christmas is a music concert held in cities worldwide that celebrates those who play, teach and compose music for instruments in the tuba family.

December 3rd RCW Resort

December 3rd Rincon Country RV Resort
We are still enjoying the RV Resort, there are a lot of things to do here in Tucson. We went to Arts and Craft show at one of the Museums in Tucson. We enjoyed looking at the high quality crafts that the vendors were selling. The museum had some lovely exhibits.

We had a Thanksgiving Dinner with about 300 people who are staying here in Rincon RV Resort. We have put our bikes in the back of the truck and drove about 20 minutes to Paseo Del Rio Trailhead on the Rillito River. This is another beautiful bike trail running on both sides of the river valley. We had friends that have been touring the states camp in the site next to ours, so we had lots of stories to catch up on. We have been playing Pickle Ball 3 days a week and really enjoying the game, shooting pool when we feel like it, or going to the library to pick up a book to read. We have hardly scratch the surface of the many activities offered here at Rincon, yes we are enjoying ourselves.
