I had told my sister, Susan, that Bob and I were going to arrive in Tucson on Thursday but after looking at the map we found that we were just six hours away so after consulting Tucson, we folded up our tent, packed the camel and headed out to the desert land.
Desert driving is .. is.. is… is boring. Straight highway, slight rise, straight highway – repeat. The only thing that sparked our interest was HOMELAND SECUIRTY/BORDER PATROL - like flies buzzing here and there both on land and in the air; a watch tower on massive scissor jacks on a trailer piercing the sky, pickup trucks with bed canopies with steel mesh windows parked on the overpasses or the helo flying low over the ground; US military manning check stations on I-8. Entertaining but sad.
It was nice to the see the skyline of Tucson and the exit onto Prince. We parked on the narrow street to break up the tandem and then walked into the alley where my sister’s place was located to scout the layout. After trimming low branches, Bob guided me backing into a parking spot in the driveway. But it had a sharp slope so out came the Lego block levelers and we built a tower for the front wheels to rest on. It was nice to be off the road finally after nine days.
