Saguaro National Park
We waited  until it was 90 degrees to visit this park full of, you guessed it, Saguaros! Our little Tracker has no air conditioning as you know and obviously it's owners (us) have no brains.  But we filled our camel backs and off we went.  Let me just say that I am glad we went. However, we've already seen a LOT of Saguaros and so another park  full of them was a bit of a let down.  There were quite a few wildflowers in bloom and that was nice.  But the best part of the 4 hour visit was the Russian Clown Car.  First let me say that to go anywhere in Tucson you have to travel surface streets.  Being a southern Californian and being used to freeways galore this has been mind boggling.  There are only 2 major highways in Tucson......the 10 and the 19.  But they don't go to any of the attractions. It takes over an hour to get to, for example Saguaro National Park, even though it is only 20 miles away from our RV park. Now, back to the clown car.....
 Anyway, while we were parked at a turn out for lunch in the sun filled goodness of this park a Ford van pulled up next to us.  The doors flew open and people got out...then more people....then even MORE people. Each was speaking Russian and wearing a cowboy hat.  There was sexy pole dancing blond with a plaid shirt tied above the midriff, sweet Russian Daisy May in really short shorts, REALLY big dark haired guy who looked like a mobster, blond Russian Farm boy, Dark Haired Russian Happy Guy, Gray haired senior citizen guy, another very large blond in a red shirt, and well, you get the picture.  They set up their cameras, jumped on the hood of the van and took a "self portrait" of life in Saguaro National Park as a cowboy!  We offered to take their picture but they said "No. Is fun to do it this way".  And they were right. It WAS fun ...at least for us!
We ended our visit with a hike to an old adobe. By now it was at least 200 degrees in the hottest part of the day. But we did it anyway knowing we wouldn't be back to Saguaro National Park.
