What we did!

This is the blog of our 12th Trip to the U.S.A.
On this trip we arrived in March and spent a week with our friends Connie NA Jim at their Bluegrass Party, in Florida.
We then flew to Phoenix, where we collected our rig and then explored Southern Arizona, from the cowboy city of Tombstone in the East, to the desert City of Yuma in the West.
Travelling north along the course of the Colorado river we visited the London Bridge at Lake Havasu before exploring the Mojave Desert, including some more of Rout 66 and Calico Ghost Town.
Moving North West through California we shared in the CBA Bluegrass Campout in Turlock, before visiting Bodega Bay to follow The Birds. After sampling the delights of the Napa Valley we joined in The Fiddle Convention at Cloverdale before storing our rig and returning home after seeing some friends in San Leandro, near San Francisco.
This blog gives a day to day record of many of the things we did on this trip.

March 20th - Flowers of the Desert

Wednesday
Today we visited the Sabino Canyon, just North East of Tucson. We took the shuttle ride up the canyon for a picnic and the rode back. We  had a lovely time.
 While walking there we found a huge variety of flowers,, such as you could not really imagine in a 'desert environment'. So here are some pics of the flowers we found. No names for them I am afraid, except the red fluffy  flower which is called Fairy Duster.

    Heavenly flowers - I have missed them while in the east. The yellowy flower before the butterfly is a Segoe lily.
