On the Road Again - At last

At last after a weeks delay we are heading out later this AM.  Left Lucy in Phoenix for some routine maintenance while we went back to East Coast.  Got a call that radiator had small unrepairable leak so needed to replace radiator.  They finally got the radiator yesterday and she is ready to go this AM.  I got back last Thur and stayed in RV @ the shop until Sat when BJ got back.  We have been staying in transient facilities at Luke AFB since then.  Nice small apartment, but we are ready to hit the road and today was going to be the last day we could stay here anyway – so it all worked out. 

We have accepted a volunteer gig at a wildlife preserve in Patagonia AZ starting 5 Mar until end of May.  Have decided to defer AK until another year, we will spend the summer finishing the west then head back east.  Christmas with the girls then SOUTH!

Between now and 5 Mar we will wonder about southern AZ.  On today toward Yuma, then to Tucson for a week and finally to Ft Huachuca for 5-7 days before we report to Patagonia.  The Army base at Ft Huachuca has nice FamCamp so we will stay there and scout out the approach to the preserve.  The couple there now we met in the Keys last winter and he said the road is narrow and in poor condition so we will drive it in the Jeep before doing it in the RV!  Also, our arrival day is a day the park is closed so less traffic to deal with.

We are looking forward to it!  Details to follow but for now we are just happy to be on the move again.

Here is a link to Dan & Sandy's blog about the wildlife preserve we are going to.  They are leaving a week after we get there.  Click on it and it will take you there   Patagonia

Always home no matter where we are!
