Sorry for leaving everyone hanging! Yes we did make it to our winter home, Rincon Country West Rv Resort!
We arrived on October 31st, and settled into our spot at 903. Not many here in the rv section. There is activity going on, even hiking!
I started hiking the first Wednesday in November, with few other hiking friends. our tradition has been to hike in the Robles pass area, which is across the street from the Rv Resort. The trail is called Flight Path, as most commercial airlines fly right over it to land at Tucson International Airport.
What did we find on our hike? Goats! Lots of goats. One in particular
decided to get in our hiking line and go along with us. She stayed with us for a while, bleating the whole time.
I called Pima County an reported their presence in the park and they did not know what to do! Oh well, it is their problem not mind. Have not been back to check them out.
In December, after Christmas, I took the train back to Illinois, to see my grandson Zach off to the Army. Boy was it cold in Illinois -13 below zero. I even had to wear (gasp) long pants!
Zach would be sworn in on January 2nd, 2018 in St Louis. New Years eve we went out to supper at Zachs favorite restaurant, Alexanders Steak house. We did not make reservations, thinking at 4pm it would not be busy. Wrong! No tables available! After a discussion with one of the hosts, explaining the situation, the manager came out and led us to the back room area and got us all seated!
Many people came by, that we did not know, wished Zack good luck in his enlistment.
Zach had already been sworn in by his dad LT. Colonel, Heath Carr. when we got to the MEPS station in St. Louis,
they took us into the swearing in room, where
Heath swore him in again.
