Honest! :lol: This where we boondocked on BLM land. Tonight will be our 11th night here.

A hooch by the fire. We were thinking of you all.

Now a sad story. A women in a rinky dink trailer got pulled in by somebody's truck and they left. We hear she was a homeless woman. When we had the fire she came over and tried to sell us her trailer, of course we had no need for one. She also said she was leaving for Washington on Saturday and was thinking about dumping her dog. She said "it would manage." Of course we didn't like that idea. Anyway she left, somebody came for the trailer and the dog IS TIED TO A TREE! Since Friday. It is in the shade. It does have a sleeping bag to lie on, and water. Also 2 cans of dog food, which it can't open of course. Someone here said she told them somebody would be coming for the dog on Saturday. Well it's sunday night and no one has shown up. The good thing is the way these strangers have rallied round the dog. People are always checking to see it has water. A guy opened one of the cans of food. I've been taking dry dog food over. We will make sure that the guy who said he would call the Humane Society follows through on Monday before we leave. The dog is not friendly, but is getting sadder and more depressed looking every day. He knows his human isn't coming back.

People who treat animals that way should be (fill in the blanks. I hope things work out okay for him.

It's a great boondocking spot - and there's a geocache on top of the hill - and a great view of the valley.

The dog is no longer growling at Peaches and me - but doesn't even always get up when we walk over. I just came from John's - one of the other boondockers here - and he has promised me that between him and some of the others here they'll make sure the dog gets a home. He mentioned the dog at church today - hoping someone might be interested, and maybe that'll still happen.

Tucson has been wonderful - we went back to the Farmer's Market today - got lots of goodies.

And Chris, you asked in another post if we were staying here and we answered, and you ignored us. Glad to see you're paying attn now lol

Jean asked me to include a sunset from when we were here - not the best color - was a little late for it - but still pretty:

Huh? Which post was that? And when? I had my computer wiped clean last week and have just now been catching up with things. I really didn't mean to ignore you, honest! (And, please don't get Mitch to attack me or anything.) :o

I'm surprised Carol (Asimiroco, spelling?) didn't catch up with you, last she posted
her hubby was trying to make it to Tucson. Thought for sure there would be
another AZ GTG. Guess not.

Be nice! I really did do a search on both Bethers and Sparkle a few minutes ago and couldn't find anything. You sure it wasn't a PM or a conversation or something?

OK - I searched for you:

And now that we are settled into a great boondocking location for the duration of our visit in Tucson - we're ready to see everything.


Are you boondocking at the great spot off Ajo Road, by any chance?


And Sparkle replied:

Sparkle wrote:Exactly!



Ha, think you have us fooled and that our minds are going. Well, we know our minds are going - but we aren't fooled.
