Up bright and early today (8:00), and on the road almost immediately (9:00-ish), off to Colossal Cave park. We were the only participants on the 9:50 tour, so John the tour guide stretched the half hour tour into about an hour for us (we're slow learners, I guess). If you're in the area (just east of Tucson off I-10) I highly recommend the tour.
From there, we headed south to Tombstone and Bisbee. Everything you hear about Tombstone is correct... it is indeed a giant tourist trap. Bisbee is a neat old town... but if you go make sure you go through the old town and don't just whiz through on the highway.
On the return trip we came cross country on highways 90/82/83. Trip was uneventful other than making an unfortunate turn into Fort Huachuca military base, where the MP was quite pleasant and told us exactly how to get the heck out of there. Big sigh when he looked at my Canadian driver's license, though, so there must be a few of us that make that wrong turn.
Back at camp about 5:30, just in time to get a warning from a new neighbour lady about her overly protective german shepherd and how she couldn't be responsible for any vet bills. Don, Gab, and I decided to take our cocktails out on the patio tonight, and shortly after we got comfortable she moved her truck and fifth wheel another hundred feet away. Probably a coincidence. Anyway, the lot is getting crowdeder and crowdeder every day, and we've seen just about all of this neck of the woods that we want to for now, so maybe it's time to mosey on.

It's been 2 weeks, sweetie. By this time if I can get either the day OR the date right I think I'm doing OK. So your plane comes in on Thursday the 13th, right?
