Temperature & Elevation -- Lesson Learned

After several freezing nights at Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, AZ (elevation 6400 feet), we decided to vamoose to Tucson (elevation 2600 feet).

What a diff! 50 degree nights now instead of mid-20s at Show Low.

    Those cold night sure make the good ole fresh made ground bean coffee taste sooo good in the mornings...

    Don't get no better for me...

    Just this morning like every morning around here in Northern Neck VA I am outside at day break leaning on my utility trailer parked near the woods watching the new day break drinking my coffee... Checking out the wild life tracks that may have wandered up into the back yard... I'm usually at the same spot watching the sun go down as well listening to all the birds getting ready for bed hehe...

    Makes you wanna be camping somewhere I reckon.

  • One of the best things about living in Tucson is the ability to camp year round. You just adjust your elevation to match the weather conditions. We are transitioning from summer to fall with winter fast approaching. October and November are probably the two most beautiful months, highs in the low 80's with lows in the 50's.... and here come the snowbirds! :B
  • it's warmer still if you can park near a river for the winter… allowing for floods of course…
    that's why so many park near yuma, lake havasu, ect.
  • Yep, gets cold, doesn't it. You were wise to get out before it really gets cold.:)
