TUCSON

We arrived in Tucson, AZ, yesterday afternoon, and checked in at Beaudry RV Resort. We have a service appointment this morning at Beaudry RV for a couple of issues, then we'll be parking out at the Pima County Fairgrounds, where they offer nice quiet, full hookups for $20 a night, or $100 a week. Tucson is a city we have become familiar with over the last few years, since Marc & Chandra moved here from CA. This Friday marks the 4th birthday of our grand daughter Laila, who was born here in Tucson, and a party is planned for this coming Saturday. There has been some discussion about a birthday trampoline, but we'll decide what to purchase tomorrow, when Marc, Chandra & Laila return from a trip to Sedona. It was almost 3 years ago that we purchased our motor home from Beaudry RV, and like much of the RV industry, Beaudry has gone through a period of adjustment, recently emerging from a chapter 11 filing. When we drove in yesterday, we immediately noticed that there were mostly trailers on their sales lot, and very few motor homes. In the transition area of the RV park, (approx. 30 RV sites for new sales), it was completely empty. The RV Resort with about 400 spaces, is about 10% occupied. When I write the blog tomorrow, I hope I don't have any bad things to report about their service department.
