Tubac Trailer Tether

One of our Biggest Mysteries of this Road Trip has been the answer to this question:"Where are we going to camp between Tucson and Nogales?"  You would think it would be a fairly straightforward, simple answer.  But no, you would be wrong.

The  entire SOAZ RV park business model is now fully adapted to rich people who drive million dollar Class A motorhomes.  These people often tow vehicles behind their Big Rig which easily cost $50,000 or more. Seriously.  So, RV Park managers can skyrocket their rates to whatever stratosphere level they want.  Heck, we've seen some of the nosebleed seats in swanky RV parks go for nearly a hundred a night!  I mean, really.

Well, we're looking for something more uniquely suited to She and Me.  Something Down Home along the lines of which we cherish so much.  And, well, guess what?  We found it!  For our budget it's kinda pricey at $26 a night plus tax, but hey, down there in Baja Arizona, $26 is an gift and Much Appreciated!  Plus, for that price we get to move right into Tubac Culture.   Big Time.

We're booked early next week for two nights....and who knows how many more.

Here's a real fun quote from one of the source links cited  below:

"Pulling into the Tubac Trailer Tether I am notably charmed. I notice beside a covered ramada with a variety of wind chimes dangling from its edges and filed with assorted and mismatched wooden chairs and table, a greeter standing in the crotch of a multi-trunked mesquite tree. The greeter is a female mannequin with dark hair. She is wearing a long skirt of a tropical print that blows in the wind, beach sandals, and a straw hat. On her shoulder rides a red cloth parrot. I smile at the suggestion of a slightly eccentric flavor to the place and walk over to where the sign on the road indicated the office to be."
