We are currently in the Overflow Parking area of Agave Gulch FamCamp at Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson, AZ. It’s quite a nice area, actually. There are over 100 sites in the overflow, and each one is like an actual RV site, just no hookups. We’ve been told we’re number one on the list for a full-hookup site tomorrow morning. As we’ve been sitting here, we’ve seen over 14 other RVs pull in after us, so we’re glad we got here relatively early (about noon).

The base, FamCamp, and Tucson all look quite nice so far. Leave it to the Air Force to always have a gorgeous base and all the bells and whistles. The temperatures are nice (low 70s) and no wind today. It seems so quiet and peaceful without 35 to 50 mph winds buffeting you all day. In fact, it was so nice today that we spent some time sitting outside the camper and just enjoying the sunshine.

As we drove into the base today we noticed a lot, and I mean a LOT, of planes parked on the base (coming in from I-10 East and Kolb Rd). It looks like this is a graveyard for old decommissioned military planes. There seems to be a trail amongst them as well that Chuck is looking forward to checking out. There are also some very nice planes on display at the entrance to the base. Couple the planes with the beautiful desert landscaping here and all the cactus coming into bloom, as well as the iconic tall Saguaros (only found in the Chihouhan Desert – exactly where we are), and we’ve finally come to appreciate some of the beauty the desert holds. Gotta love Spring! We can’t wait to check out Saquaro National Park while we’re here. None of the Saguaros we’ve seen are in bloom yet, but they’re supposed to be very soon. It should be a sight to see. Pictures coming soon!
