I'm seated on the couch in the RV, coffee in hand, looking out the window over the dinette at Picacho Peak just peeking over the top of the sunshade at the military packing area. Picacho is a very distinctive mountain rising above the desert floor between Tucson and Phoenix, long used as a landmark by people crossing the desert. After 14 days and 3,900 kilometers of travelling and exploring we have arrived at Skydive Arizona, our home for the next 6 weeks. We'll be attending the Christmas Boogie, The Canadian Invasion, The Sisters In Skydiving Boogie, and Mark Kirkby's 16-way Invitational event before heading to Vegas to party with some friends from Ottawa.
We've visited Mammoth Cave, Carlsbad Cavern, the Gila Cliff Dwellings, driven through a miles long Christmas light display celebration of God, Guns, and all that is right and great with America buried in caverns dug beneath the city of Louisville Kentucky (well worth the outrageous entry fee) , explored the City Of Rocks, toured Graceland, camped in state parks and roadside rest areas, drank Corona beside several campfires, crossed the Continental Divide at least 3 times, and ridden at a dangerous and unsafe speed up the best twisty motorcycle road in New Mexico. The day is partly overcast, we'll have plenty of time to jump later so today we're going to either climb Picacho Peak or take the bike and tear up the fantastic road running up Mount Lemmon in Tucson.
2 Weeks down, 12 more to go!
