Mini Adventures on Our Way Back to El Paso

 Traveling from Zion National Park back to El Paso we took many short detours stopping overnight in Flagstaff and in Tucson. 

Marble Canyon




Grand Canyon




Montezuma Castle National Monument 




Haunted Hotel in Flagstaff - our room was not haunted…at least not that we know of!


Hotel McCoy in Tucson- loved this place! They cater to travelers who like to play. The place has a cool artist vibe as local artists display their art and it’s all for sale too. The outsides of the buildings are adorned with murals painted by local artists. They offer free welcome beer or wine and free breakfast. They had awesome outdoor spaces to play corn hole, ping pong, foozeball, a heated pool, fire pit, food truck with amazing food, indoor board game room. Of course we did it all!








Saguaro National Park 














A Very Cool Winery
The wine was okay but the atmosphere was awesome!




We stopped to visit some wonderful friends of Bryan and Jill who welcomed us into their beautiful home for 2 nights. They gave us a whirlwind tour of Tombstone. 
Of course we had to watch the movie the night before!







Then on to Bisbee to tour a mine. So very cool riding the original tracks down into the mine and learning about the job of a silver and copper miner.

Glow Worms!

Image
 Who knew that New Zealand is home to these very unique glow worms- not actually worms at all! These short lived see through larvae, about the size of a matchstick, attach themselves to the walls and ceilings of caves. They make long sticky strings, about 30 of them. Their bright green tails glow and attract insects that get stuck in those long sticky strings. We took a boat to the caves and them walked through the cave along a roaring river and waterfalls until we reached the inner sanctum where we boarded a small 12 seater metal boat. Our guide navigated the boat in pitch darkness through a narrow waterway that eventually opened up to a bigger area where the walls and ceilings lit up with thousands of tiny glowing greed dots. It really is hard to describe. These pictures are from the journey to the caves. Cameras are not allowed in the caves for very obvious reasons!

Pack Rats??

Image
 So, how many people really know what a pack rat is? I always thought it was a term to describe someone who collects lots of “stuff”. Well boy was I wrong. We pulled into Karchner Caverns State Park late one afternoon and as we were trying to negotiate where and how to set up our camper on a very in- level site, we were visited by the camp host. He started with, “Hi folks. Have you ever camped her before?” “No,” we replied. Then he proceeded to tell us about the pack rats in the area asking us if we had lights for under the truck and camper. We didn’t. He said for 2 nights we might be okay. They come out at night and get into the engine compartment chewing the wires and make big nests. They can ruin your truck in no time. And with that he bid us a goodnight. For the next couple of hours we struggled to level our camper ultimately breaking the jack. Rick and I tried to fix it but darkness set in and we decided to leave and book a hotel for the night and getting a new jack in the mor...
