On to Tucson

Our Tucson stop, found us at the Drexel Heights Station.  Lucky for us, with all of the construction going on on the highway, this one was easily accessed, and are we ever grateful for that!

Not sure how it came to be that we got this house, but we're happy we did.  The captain told us they had just been advised of the stop a couple hours prior, but his crew made sure to make a great effort for us on short notice.

The crew was extremely friendly, and very welcoming.  You could feel the "team" here, and it was nice. 

We had some good laughs with the Iraq'n'Robin glasses ... and the fake snake we we picked up to terrorize Kelly.  Hey, she opened the volleys back in Florida, when rather than tell Kathy & I we were getting set up by the crew with a rubber snake ... our buddy, pal, and partner just took pictures.  Soooooo ... fair is fair.  And the snake showed up from this point on.  Hehe.  Thanks to the crew for helping us play with her!

This was another scorcher of a day, but then I guess if you live in the desert, it was pretty okay.  Our visit was brief, but it was good.  And we would love to see our Drexel Heights Heroes again ... So yes, if we are ever back in your neighborhood, you batcha, we'll come back.  Thanks for the invite!

Start collecting those shirts!

... And with that, we continued our journey west.  Through Mesa, and Phoenix, and right on into California.

Oh, there might have been a snake or two, along the way.  Hehe

Aside from that though, Kathy got to see her folks.  That brought her some smiles.  Her dad is a volunteer firefighter and soldier ... Who may very well end up in the desert himself!
