On the Road Again
The approximately 5 hour drive from Yuma to Tucson was uneventful —just lots of desert. Margaret had picked a RV park from the Woodalls book but unfortunately we didn’t meet the criteria — unless we could make them believe that Zaph weighs less than 20 pounds! The Crazy Horse RV park wasn’t far away and we met their criteria so it’s our home for the next few days.
Ed and I were busy setting up when 2 falcons came over a hedge and appeared to be diving at us — only it wasn’t us they were after but a jack rabbit. One of the birds got a hold of the rabbit and went into the hedge. After a lot of noise and commotion the jack rabbit came flying out of the hedge and headed off through the RV park as fast as he could hop. The falcon returned to his perch on the pole being held by a man in the field on the other side of the hedge. The two birds were being used to hunt.
