Part 22 - Home Sweet Home.
After what seemed like a month's worth of driving, we finally began to see the familiar sites of the Rincon Mountains. As we crossed over Davidson Canyon on Interstate 10, we knew our exit was only a few miles down the pavement.
As soon as we got the camper leveled, we went for a walk in the desert. It felt so good to be back in the sunny Sonoran climate and out of the icy Midwest. We aren't even retired yet, and we have become snowbirds.

It is hard to believe just how cold the mountaintops can get here in the Southwest. But as we walked through the warm desert, my friend Jered was with a group attempting to summit Rincon Mountain. They made it to Happy Valley Saddle and had to turn around due to SNOW!!! The Rincon Mountains are the only set surrounding Tucson that we have not peaked yet. When the Summer weather breaks, we are going to give it a shot.

I was invited on that trip to Rincon, but since we were late getting to Tucson, I missed the boat. After our hot hike in the desert, we decided to hit the pool and cool off.

It was a long trip and we were all tired.

As I write this article, I am sitting in our new Winnebago 5th wheel. Our personal life has been super busy and chaotic lately, so we apologize skipping last week. We hope to do a review of our new camper on here soon.
Our next article we be posting in the next couple of days to make up for lost time.
Until then, here is the link to our previous entry:
