Day 2

Rancho Sonora RV Resort Florence, Arizona

We decided to stay another night at Rancho Sonora

Our Jeep trail today was into Box Canyon. We had to drive several miles on a dirt and gravel road before we got to the good part!

Breakfast spot.

We had fun passing through the narrow canyon. There were some big boulders to negotiate but nothing serious!

Take a ride with us…

We saw cactus wrens and hawks perched on saguaro cacti. We saw ground squirrels and a huge stag. We saw a jack rabbit with its comically large ears bounding across the road and into the safety of the underbrush. We saw a roadrunner and some quails. Then we saw these ladies…thankfully we did not meet them in the canyon!

Enjoying the ride!

This ledge was on the main route…we decided to take the alternate bypass!

On our way back to civilization…we got a little befuddled. The directions we had did not match the roads we were on…but no worries…from the top of the ridge we could see clearly that we were headed in the right direction…and we could always have turned back…but Tim DOES NOT turn back!!

The sun cast long shadows.

We watched the sun set as we grilled chicken feta burgers.

Tim watched Monday Night Football.

I took my black-light and searched the campground for scorpions. There are all kinds of small holes in the ground and I thought I might see something…but no luck tonight!
