We decided to stick with our original plan and meet up with some of the Fulltime Families before the planned rally. We thought it might be helpful to start off in a smaller more intimate setting so we could get to know people a little better. All of us were also adjusting to our oldest having a broken leg.

This was a long, traumatic, painful and sad bunch of days. It all started when we wanted to help celebrate Christmas with some events while we were in Tucson. We had found a couple festivals to attend but all were after 3pm so we wanted to find a place where the girls could play in the meantime.

Justin and I had previously visited Tombstone before we were married or even engaged actually and we had such fond memories of it! Well, we realized that those fond memories were in part because we didn’t have kids. 😛 Tombstone is definitely better to visit as an older kid or for adults.

This was a very interesting stay. First of all, our GPS took us on “the shortest route” there which turned out to be down a 27 mile dirt road in the back country. Interesting choice Google that we blindly followed. I was driving and suddenly saw a sign that said “payment ends.” What?! Why was the pavement ending? We checked the map but it would have been quite a ways to backtrack onto an alternative route so we decided to continue.

We always love staying at campgrounds that have good climbing rocks, and City of Rocks was certainly up there with some of our favorites like Arches & Joshua Tree as far as campsites snuggled into the rocks.

Though we did end up at the LoW Hi RV Park it was quite a journey to get there! LoW, of LoW Hi RV park, stands for Loners on Wheels by the way. Haha! Hilarious name.
