The Davis’s arrived in Phoenix on October 1st. I have never driven or slept in an RV, but here we are, with a 56 day rental, 3 bags of luggage, a hiking back pack, a running stroller, and an 18 month old. After getting acquainted with our new Thor Majestic 30×8 ft mobile home and spending 2+ hours in a Walmart stocking up, we were ready for our first adventure… finding a place to sleep.
Day 2 is where the real fun begins. We started at Saguaro (pronounced suh·waa·row) national park, just outside of Tucson. This is an amazing piece of desert with spectacular views and lots of cacti. We hiked to the Valley View Overlook, drove the Bajada Loop Drive (accidently took the RV off road) and did a 3 mile hike along an old gold mining route. The cacti are aggressive in these parts of Arizona. We had multiple first aid incidents requiring us to pull cactus spines from our legs like an old Readrunner/Wile E Coyote cartoon. Next stop, Petrified Forest National Park.
