We reluctantly left Joshua Tree on Friday since there was no place to camp in the park and headed to Tucson. Friends from Sedalia winter there, one couple at Rincon Country Resort and the other couple just a few miles from there. We were able to snag a spot for five days and enjoyed our stay and our visit with our friends.
We played more pickle ball, caught up on chores like grocery shopping and laundry and enjoyed hanging out with Tom and Judy. One afternoon was spent watching them play in an exciting (sort of) Bocce Ball tournament. We also found some nice places for dinners out.
This afternoon was spent cruising through the Saguaro National Park East. This giant cacti only grow at this longitude and are a protected species. The park is also populated by Staghorn and Chain-fruit Cholla plus other cacti like barrel and beaver tail as well as varieties of yucca and scrub bushes. It was a lovely drive.
