Hanging Out In Sierra Vista, AZ

11 March 2011 | Sierra Vista, AZ

Greeting to all. Sorry it has been so long since the last blog. We are still hanging out in Sierra Vista. The house sitting ended early. Since then we have gone down to the boat twice to off load it and list it with San Carlos Yacht Sales. Since then we have gotten in contact with Russ's aunt and cousin, both live in southern Airzona. Since we have been in the RV we have replaced all the tires and heater, installed 98% UV snap on shades, made a covers for our port a boat dinghy, seats and transom.

Today we headed up to Coronado Monument Cave. It was a 500 foot climb in 3/4 of a mile. The cave is 600 feet long. You have to climb down into the cave. Russ went in first while I watched the dogs and then I went in. It was a steep climb down in. Photos to come.

Russ has fully recovered from his hip replacement and I from my gall bladder removal. He still has some VA appointment that keep us here until the end of the month. Then we shall see what New Mexico has to offer.
