Alpine, Arizona

Made the move yesterday from Gallup, New Mexico, to Alpine, Arizona.  Talk about quiet, peaceful, no trucks/trains/car noises here in Alpine.  And last night was so dark - amazing.  We are about 180 miles from Tombstone where we will sit for about 3 weeks, enjoying our last hurrah and getting the RV ready for the dealer.  This little town of Alpine is snuggled in the White Mountains, a haven for boaters, fishing, camping and off-road ATVs (oh no). When we do move the RV to the dealer, it is a mere 10 miles into a small town called Huachuca City (pronounced Whoo-ah-choo-cah).  We really have to get this thing in - the rough roads we encountered on this trip took a big toll, bolts broke, things came out of alignment, the front nose piece is a tidge loose, etc.  We want the RV in great shape for our next spring jaunt which will be going north west to Washington, Oregon, Nevada, and California. Looking forward to that.

Heard coyotes last night, there is a good size pond/lake near here and the Canadian geese have been flying in and out since we got here.  I think the coyotes were after some late night snack.

Today we chill out, I was lucky through this whole trip not to get sick and last night I got way-laid with a whopper cold - or could be sinus crud.  Regardless, I need today to nap on and off in order to be half way alert for Dave's directional person tomorrow.  Have about 4 hour ride ahead of us, mostly through the White Mountains, south to Interstate 10 and then west until Benson, then south to Tombstone.  Sad our trip is coming to an end - but learned this morning that Glacier Natl Park and Yellowstone Natl Park are getting hit with snow.  Good timing on our part!
