Our next stop was Tucson where we stayed 3 days. We went to Old Tucson Studios which was where a good number of westerns were made. Now it is an Old West theme park with shows, an old West street and a few rides. We got there late in the afternoon the first day and came back the next morning to finish our visit. We really enjoyed it.
We also drove through the Saguro NM which was very scenic. I loved the cacti. The local Indians regard them as ancestors and in the sunset shadows I can see how they could imagine that. We also went to the Arizona Desert museum which was a combination zoo and botanical desert garden. It was one of those places I wish we could have come earlier and stayed all day.
The city of Tucson itself was very hot and our AC doesn't seem to be working too well. The trailer did not cool down until after nine pm. We were headed to find a WalMart to get cool when we were rear-ended by a mini-van. Unfortunately for her, she hit the trailer hitch full on and caused quite a bit of damage to her car but for the truck only the bumper was nicked by the mudflaps. It did require about 3 hours waiting for the police and their paperwork. The damage won't slow our trip but it sure was a pain.
