Had a little light rain overnight and again this morning – but I guess that is better than the 6 inches of snow in Flagstaff – 140 miles away. We may have to start looking at alternate routes home, if the frequency of the snowstorms to the north of us – keeps up.

Today was a slow start – and headed out towards Tombstone at about 10:30 this morning. Tombstone is in the process of having a celebration – which means that in addition to the usual tourist glitch – there are many people around in period costumes. This combined with Tucson’s part in Basketball’s March Madness there were many people around (losing teams supporters could be seen in their team colours).

Drove the two and a half hours north, through rural Texas (read – largely unpopulated) – into White’s City. As the area became more and more arid – and the cactus became more plentiful and varied in species – we were even able to see our first live Roadrunner. The short cut (back road) over to White’s City was a bit of a challenge – with cattle guards – and livestock at large – and a 55 MPH speed limit – on a 1 1/2 lane road.

Up early this morning to take the RV into Lafayette to have the window repaired. After dropping the vehicle off – went back to St. Martin Lake to do a walk around the rookery in the daylight. Walked for about 2 1/2 km around the road looking at and taking pictures of the birds. Mickey was able to see the yellow crested night heron that he has been looking for the last several weeks – unfortunately they are a bit shier than the other birds and did not nest as close to the pathway. The locals all go there to try and see the alligators – and although several people were excited when they saw one – and tried to point it out to the boys – they did not get that excited as they had seen enough in the Everglades.

Continued to rain for most of the night – but by morning the rain had quit – but was still threatening. Dad said that after all the spicy food he had yesterday and after a few minutes in the bathroom this morning, he knew why the Cajun’s yelled the way they did (whoo whee).
