On Friday 3/5 we made the journey to Old Tucson Studio to meet with our HRRVC Chapter 71 members who were camping in the area. We arrived early which allowed us to observe the Steampunk Wild West festival folks arriving and getting dressed. I can't really explain Steampunk so click on the link and read about it.
It was interesting to learn that some portions of Little House on the Prairie were filmed here. Also a large number of commercials, several John Wayne, Glenn Ford. The original Gun Fight ast the OK Corral, and 310 to Yuma. The steam engine Reno is also here. You may remember it from Joe Kidd where is smashed into the saloon.
You can see some of the pictures we took here.

What have you been doing?
After our arrival at Voyager we researched Dentists and Doctors. What fun stuff. We got that all set up and made our appointments. Also it was that time for new health insurance. Another fun project. What a pain in the ass, but our government is here to help us.
We rekindled our friendship with Tom and Pat Britton who were our neighbors in Vermont many long years ago. It was really nice to visit with them after some 35 or more years. We did manage to take in the Pima Air Museum, Saguaro NP East, Bear Canyon, Winterhaven Festival of Lights, Desert Museum, Tombstone.

We are parked across the street from fulltime friends Paul and Sharon and have met several other fulltime and part time RV folks. One of the fulltime folks we had a short chat with was Stuart and Leslie Offer from Williston VT. Stuart and I had exchanged emails a few years ago but had never met until we were both at Voyager.
Other fulltime friends Herb and Ginger were in Benson and we visited them and them us. We enjoyed their company for Thanksgiving and Taco Sunday as well as other visits. More Vermont friends arrived and are staying at the FamCamp at DM and we have gotten together for visits with them also. We have hooked up with Holiday Rambler RV Club chapter 71 and meet with them for breakfast meetings once a month. Ray Nichols and his wife Hilda are an excellent source of information on camping in Alaska since there were assistant wagon masters on a tour in 2015.
Well this is as much as I want to write today. I do need to make more frequent entries.
