The crowd is thinning out a bit here at Tucson’s Agave Gulch FamCamp. Since mid January, all of the 266 campsites were full, plus plenty of folks were camping in “overflow” without electricity, water and sewer. But this week we began to see empty campsites. Several people told me they were leaving so they could get home in time to do taxes. Maybe others are leaving because it’s warm elsewhere in the US and they figure when it’s warm at home it’s time to go there. Or maybe a smaller campground population is a true sign of spring.
Since our last posting, I finished our taxes. I've been going to physical therapy and doing exercises at home -- the Air Force Base feels like home now -- for an ongoing shoulder problem. We’ve been watching some NCAA (OSU Buckeyes) and CBI (OSU Beavers) basketball. We also went to a local Mexican restaurant recommended by our campsite neighbors and mentioned in Jane and Michael Stern’s book “Roadfood” called Cafe Poca Cosa http://cafepocacosatucson.com Somehow I was expecting a divvy restaurant; instead it was an upscale-martini-bar-looking place where the menu depends on what’s fresh and what the chef feels like cooking; the menu changes twice a day and is posted on a small portable blackboard brought to your table. We each got the special -- a sampler of three of eight available dishes but you don’t get to pick. I couldn't tell you all of our six, but there was a drunken pork, some moles (as in sauce, not rodent) and ... I can't remember. But it was good.
Last note: it's 83 degrees and sunny here.
Oh, Bev, I always read your blog. Sometimes I check for you and Jim, several times a day. Just to make sure you are OK. Regarding the suggested rig, it is Sandy who makes those kind of decisions in our family. Actually, come to think about it, she makes all the decisions. Enjoy your new found solitude.
