Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.

Huachuca City (AZ)

Feb. 6, 2012 - We packed up this morning to move on to the Superstition Mountains.  Before we got ready to roll, Tom made several phone calls to the Apache Junction area to find an RV park for us and discovered that they were all full!  So, we decided to stay another night at the Mountain View RV Park here in Huachuca City.  Later, Tom made more phone calls and found an RV park near Apache Junction, where we got one of the last sites.  This is a very busy time of year in Arizona when all the Snowbirds flock down here to bask in the sun and warmth of the southwest desert. 

With a free afternoon, we hiked at the Ramsey Canyon Preserve, a Nature Conservancy preserve.  We got a great workout by hiking up 700 feet in elevation in just one mile to an overlook of Ramsey Peak and the canyon below.  This is a haven for a great variety of hummingbirds, but we didn’t see any hummers this early in the year.
