YouTube Video Description

Our 4 day adventure to southern Arizona began with a one night stay at Gilbert Ray campground west of Tucson. It was very windy so it did limit what we could do outside so we didn't get to hike and take photos as we had planned. Gilbert Ray campground: https://webcms.pima.gov/cms/one.aspx?portalId=169&pageId=1327 We picked out our website from the reservation website and by looking at campsite photos on Campsitephotos.com and Google maps. We loved the campground and wished we had stayed another day, but unfortunately we were off to our next stop which will be video #3. Videos in this series, southern Arizona Trip: #1.
