To Tuscon, AZ

Sundayday, April 26 – We Sleep in till after 10am. All three of us were still a little hung-over, so we moved really slow that morning. Jerry had come home with his balls burning at 7am and woken up Heidi. His pepper spray had exploded on his belt and he was on fire. It ruined Heidi's good night, but made us laugh and cringe at the same time.

We finally got up and moving around 1pm. The plan was to go geocaching for a little while up in one of the canyons just outside of town. We stopped for a bit at the Jack In The Box (nasty) and continued to Carr Canyon, which was in another Coronado National Forest.

We hiked up the trail to the first cache site and the ruins of a ranch built 150 years ago. I've never seen such a big ruins before, very interesting. There were several houses and buildings, in various stages of decay. We hiked up the wash to the second cache located next to the dry stream bed. Looking up, you could see where Carr Canyon falls would be. When it rains, there is a 100 foot waterfall that brings water to the dry forest.

The day had started late, and it had already gotten to be 4pm. We got the waters all filled up, said goodbye to Heidi and hit the road. We stopped at Wal-Mart for a can opener, propane and dog food, stopped to vacuum and wash the Nar, and headed north to Tucson.

 Not really sure where we were trying to go that night. Just knew that we wanted to check out Saguaro National Park in the morning. We drove to Tucson and saw a sign for Colossal Caverns Mountain park and headed towards it. It turned out to be closed, but was on a quiet dead end street. Turning around, we drove until we found a little dirt road leaded off the road. Turning in, we found camp for another night.

It was just 50 feet from the road, but sheltered from plain view by a little dip. Walking around the campsite, we found a depression where a waterhole sometimes is, and spread across it was dozens of cattle bones. We were camping in a range, and the graveyard was just around the corner.

Planning for an early morning, we didn't set up a tent. We ate a cold dinner of a can of chef Boyardee spaghetti and meatballs and a can of corn, did some writing, and was sleeping by 930pm.
