Most likely, even though it is warmer at home.
I miss decent internet, slow phone net is a Pita. We have a metal roof, kills the signal. I have typed many forum posts, with one finger, that just poof away. So don't post much, just,read.

We are heading down,today, to kartcher caverns, down near Tucson, to camp over Christmas. set up a few tours of the caverns. . The new owners to be are going to spend Christmas in our house.

Haha that's great, it's like the game with the chairs and everyone just rotates to somewhere new until the music stops. I hope you guys have a wonderful Cavern Christmas!

We should, just a touch cold and rain coming. but we have heat and a roof so we will be fine. The caverns are warm, 72 with 97 % humidity.

No photos allowed, here is a shot of one of the formations. the caverns are very well protected, three inner doors to control humidity, ie keep the dry desert air out. massive locking doors to keep people,out.
One cavern is closed may to October so the cave bats can roost with out people disturbance.

Glad you had a good time viewing the caves. We are home now and it's too cold here for me now! Throwing wood on the fire like crazy. Wishing I was back in Arizona now.

Camping at lake pleasant, it has been raining all week, snow on the far peaks, two feet of snow up north. Great for the deserts and mountains we need the moisture.

We just arrived today, Sun coming back tomorrow or Saturday. This is the view from our rvs Windows

Nice view! You can pretend the lake is your pond.

@addy1 very pretty there. Enjoy it while you can for by the time you get back to Md ice will be forming I'm thinking. Only a few months tho till the Spring thaw if all goes well.

We need to head east eventually, I am so glad I made food for the bees before we left. My neighbor put on the second course a week ago. They should be fine until we get home. Each hive has 10 lbs of fondant on the sugar board to live off, when it is warm enough to break cluster. They went through 4 lbs with the first course.
