We left Apache Junction (Lost Dutchman SP) and headed South toward Tucson on Highway 79.
We checked in to the Trav-Tel RV park in Tucson and then headed out to the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, about 10 miles West. This is a wonderful place combining both an arboretum and a zoo of sorts with desert creatures on display. The hummingbird aviary is wonderful. We also liked the havalina (sort of a little pig).
We only had about 2 hours there, which is the minimum time recommended to see everything. We'll have to return sometime when we have a full day to spend.
Nice cats.
Th bear was enjoying a nice bath. On the right the havalina herd.
These ground hogs had a nice home. The display areas were quite natural looking and looked comfortable.
A deer on the left above was eating the most foul smelling blossoms from the trees. The picture on the right shows the look over the display areas. You can;t see that there are animal display areas hidden in the landscape.
Today is the first time we've had hookups since before Christmas. The solar panels have been doing quite well taking care of most of the power needs. We've been using about 150 ampere hours per day and restoring it most days with only solar.
