Back to Tucson for one day

On Tuesday we drove five hours back to Tucson and checked in at the Lazydays KOA park. Nice place but pricey.  Each site had a shade tree (some were citrus, picked up some lemons), a nice table and chairs, and some had grass and a hedge.We got set up and walked the dogs and then went to the pool to cool off. Getting pretty hot here, upper 80's.  We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (great filet for me, ribs for Kirk) and ran into some friends from Mission View (Barb and Al from WA).  It was their last night in town.  Stopped at Food City to pick up some pickled cactus for Joe and Nancy to take home. Then we went back to the park, walked the dogs again in the dark and relaxed before bed.
On Wednesday we were at Camping World before 8:00, got our rig parked for service and went to our favorite hiking spot, Tucson Mt. Park.  Took a walk to look for cacti blooming. Did find a few, but you could see buds on more so I think mid-April would be better.  We also went to the Saguaro National Park where we saw a few more.

We finally got out of Tucson about 1:30 (2:30 MST) and headed east again into New Mexico.  It is amazing to see how much of the desert vegetation has turned green since we were in AZ a month ago.  We had a six hour drive to get to Alamogordo- Kirk only let us stop once for fuel/break.  We arrived around 8:15 in the dark.  Got set up at Boot Hill RV Park, had a quick dinner, and collapsed into bed around 10.  It was a quiet night, except for the train across the street!
