Sabino Canyon, Back to Arizona! Also Blog #100!

 Sabino Canyon is an oasis nearby to Tucson, where the water flows and the structure of geology pops open some startling treasure including this marbled rock. We stopped awhile, I lost our shuttle tickets and the rigid shuttle master drove off without us. A empathic passenger dropped his hand to one side and let go two tickets for us to use on the next ride. Walking between stops, I found the tics and got a little closer view of the canyon as well.

We stopped at Catalina State Park where everyone raves about the camp showers, and they are swell, but I spent a couple days sorting out the camper as the escape hatch/vent blew open a second time. Four AM found my head out in the wind trying to figure out how to reel in the cover. Our camper has three sets of alarms. The alert from any one starts a scramble to figure out which one. The LP alert meant gas from our cook top was settling on the floor which required an hour of intervention by Tom at Apache Junction. I should have had him fix the hatch too, but here I was out in the wind again. I got it and we had no more problems thereafter.

 Ages when water blew down this canyon more forcefully than the current period, left these sculpted walls as the perfect place for towering green saguaro cacti to fit in with the cliffs and rock.

The shuttle in this canyon provides rides to the top and back while allowing one to stop and shop the views along the way. It's quite a nice system much like Zion National Park, if you don't forget which pocket those tickets went into!
I see from the counters that tick things off on my blog that this is the 100th blog since Paddledoc was launched. Thanks for coming along on the ride! I have much to learn about formatting everything to fit what I have in mind and I'll keep working on it.
