Truckin South

We left Yuma, AZ in t-shirts and headed east. The best mate navigator found a great campground called Patagonia Lake which is near Nogales. We headed for it but in our usual fashion arrived after dark. Luckily the GPS lady via my Verizon phone led us right to the place. We found a nice camping spot. Jimmy immediately made a campfire (his favorite thing) and we enjoyed that for a few hours before retiring to our cozy roadwagon beds. We had called Jimmy's brother in law, Mike, and found out his brother lived close to where we were. When we called Carew, we found out he could almost see our campfire from his house. He and his wife Dawnie and their darling son Cutter were in Phoenix but due back the next day so we made arrangements to meet them at their house the next day. While we waited for them to return home we took a ride to Tombstone and Bisbee and went to the Boot Hill Cemetary and saw where the gunfight at the OK Carroll was. We headed back to Carew's house but this time the GPS got us totally lost. We finally had to call him and he came and found us and we followed him out to his house. They have a wonderful place with the most amazing view! They made a wonderful dinner for us and we had a great time visiting. After a nice breakfast with them on Sat. morning we said our goodbyes. Their little boy (age 2) Cutter said "Bye big dude" to Jimmy who had been calling him "little dude". We went to the Mission San Xavier built from 1783-1797. More info on it at http://www.sanxaviermission.org/History.html After that we went to the Sonara Desert Museum which is beautiful. I had to put sunscreen (available in their bathrooms) on. Sorry Seattlelites:) We are camped close to the desert museum at a state park campground tonight. A few minutes ago a coyote went through the site next to us. I tried to catch his pic but he was too fast. Tomorrow, Jimmy's birthday, we head east to Las Cruces.
