January 15, 2016. Walking stick transfer in Tubac

CAMPGROUND:  Another night at Picacho Peak RV park
LOCATION:  Between Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona
WEATHER:  Quite cool. Highs -around 60

We are glad we still have our electric blanket.  We dug it out and it felt cozy during the night.  A bit of frost on the camper in the morning.

We followed up on a few more sales leads for the camper, and did some computer work.  Then, we took a day trip south to Tubac, about 80 miles away.  Our mission was to leave our walking sticks in some good hands.....

George has  a running joke with our friend Tony from Nova Scotia whom we met in Newfoundland when we first started our life on the road.  We quickly became friends and have met again in the last  2 years, once in the Badlands, and once in British Columbia.  During one of the get-togethers, George and Tony accidentally grabbed each other's  walking sticks while packing up.  After about 6 months, each walking stick was  returned to his real owner.  So now, Tony promises to guard the walking stick while we travel in New Zealand and Australia.  Tony will be traveling here in Arizona later this year, so we dropped off the sticks with some friends of his, so get can pick them up later.  He promises to take photos of the walking stick during husband travels so we can keep up with the stick's journey! 

Tubac is a cute desert town with shops, art galleries and restaurants.  We had lunch, then met up with the walking stick friends for the exchange.
 
The couple are from British Columbia and winter in Tubac.
 

Back at the RV park, the cantina had prepared fish and chips, so we ate some and chatted with the long-term residents.

  1. Yay...we are looking forward to travelling with your sticks! Perhaps a picture with the las Vegas sign, on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and other places too numerous to mention...you will have to read our blog to keep up to date!
