Day 132, Friday, February 27, 2026 - Gilbert Ray Campground, Tucson, AZ, Day 4 - 0 Miles, 4,306.4 Miles for the Trip.
54°F overnight, 60°F for my morning walk, 76°F at noon, and the high for the day was 90°F.
After my morning walk I turned on the AC since the trailer hit 79°F and sat outside in the shade reading. I finished The Final Twist by Jeffery Deaver, one of his Shaw series which have not been one of my favorites of his books, then started C. J. Cherryh's Downbelow Station (The Company Wars #1).
While sitting outside I was able to catch a couple of hummingbirds fighting (at least I assume they were fighting). Also had a visit by a Gila Woodpecker sitting on a cactus. It likes to wake me up in the morning tapping on the cover of the campground electrical box outside my window. Very loud! You have to look closely at the hummingbird fight - they blend in well with the background.

After that it was back to reading, chasing the shade around the trailer.
Dinner was Lean Cuisine Sesame Chicken.
Until Next Time -
