More March adventures from AZ.
Old Tucson located west of Tucson is a famous movie set, many old western movies were filmed here including a newer movie, "The Three Amigos". The above is recognizable from The Three Amigos, 
it is simply a wall.  


Many of John Wayne's movies were filmed here with the Del Toro being a common background. This building has an interior and filming took place inside as well. 

A favorite stop along the Apache Trail is Tortilla Flat, good burgers, walls lined with dollar bills, saddles make up the bar stools and be sure to use the bathroom as they're rather unique. Tortilla Flat dates back to the late 1800's when the location was used as a stagecoach stop.  

Sunset at the Good Sam Phoenix RV Rally. Our first rally...will probably not be our last. 
It was like a Sturgis for RV'ers. 

One thing we're learning, things don't always go smoothly, as with our neighbor as we're all preparing to leave the rally. It's raining and the slide won't go in. We've also learned how helpful people are in this RV life. As you can see a few guys (my hubby included) out in the rain doing what they can to help. (It doesn't matter how new or how old the rig is.) 

At the Rally we got a coupon for 3 nights free stay at this CalAm RV Resort in Mesa, so we thought we'd give it a try. Something we thought we wouldn't like....surprise, we liked it and had a great time staying there. Live music in the evenings by the pool. There are many park models in the park. I liked the tall palm trees lining the streets. 

 We were on a street with RV's and park models. 


A most awesome hike in Usery Mountain Park near Phoenix and the Superstition Mountains. 
The Wind Cave Trail. 


More from the Wind Cave Trail, spring is evident as the desert is starting to bloom.

A good sized lizard along the trail.
