This morning we set out to do a short hike up Superstition Mountain, we walked up Siphon Draw Trail as far as Prospector’s View Trail, then down to Jacob’s Crosscut Trail and back to Syphon Draw. We are guessing about three to four miles total, not so far if it wasn’t a thousand degrees out.
Looking back at Lost Dutchman x marks the spot where our rv is parked.
Almost back down
When we got back to the motorhome and went inside this is what we found.
The laundry hamper and the folding chairs were supposed to keep him off the dashboard, obviously it didn’t work, but he couldn’t get back down.
We are leaving in the morning, we had intended going to Bisbee and maybe Tombstone, but sometimes with three dogs it is a problem finding a suitable spot to stay. Ivan had suggested White water Draw, which would have been fine except there was no services and no shade so we couldn’t leave them for three or four hrs. Al and Kelly had a few suggestions and gave us the website of a nice RV Park. The website said there was a two dog limit and they didn’t allow some breeds. When I emailed they said they would waive the two dog limit for $10.00 but they didn’t allow Rottweilers, Jake isn’t a pure bred, but it is obvious he is part Rotti and his size intimidates a lot of people,
And so we won’t be going to Bisbee this trip, maybe next year we can plan a bit and come this way when it’s cooler. So tomorrow we are off to Tucson and after that is under discussion.

I think maybe we did that same Superstition Mountain walk & remember it having some great views off towards Phoenix. Too bad about the RV Park doggy restrictions. But, like you say, maybe next year. It's a great area with lots to see. Say hello to Darby Wells for us if you get over that way:))
ReplyDeleteJ.A. Jance writes great mysteries about that area. She grew up in Bisbee.
ReplyDeleteHave you guys thought about some higher altitudes to get out of the heat. Bet you would really like the Prescott area with it's Pine forests & great scenery. Very hot days right now in Congress but at least we have the much cooler house to hang out in. The Motorhome just get's soooooo hot inside. It's the first time we have experienced that.......
ReplyDeleteTough to leave the dogs for any amount of time. In Mexico where the power can go out at any time we take them with us wherever we go in the car. That means that one of us always has to stay in the car with the dogs while the other goes into the store or whatever. When boondocking we all stay together. But they are worth it.
