10/22/2015 Checking Out Tucson, AZ

Agave Gulch FamCamp View

Small Portion of the Bone Yard

Having no plan at the moment, we check out Tucson as a possible place to winter. We fall in love with this desert city with it's pleasant weather and beauty surrounded by several different mountain ranges. Then we discover Davis-Monthan Air Force Base has a great RV park, Agave Gulch FamCamp.  It sits along side the bases famous aircraft "bone yard" where all branches of the military services park their retired crafts. This place is massive with over 4,200 air craft of all types either waiting to be called up again or waiting to be dismantled.  One of Jack's best friends, Gibby, recently flew his Army helicopter here to be retired.  

Larry, Missie and John in Tubac

So much fun to meet up with John's cousin Missie and husband Larry who live here along with Bob S., an old Navy/Sonalysts friend. Missie and Larry take us a little south of Tucson to the small artsy township of Tubac where we lunch at Shelby's and poke around the many shops.  

Some cool campers we have seen along the way.
