They offer many educational experiences and I was able to arrange a dissection class for the RV homeschoolers. Twelve students participated in dissecting a Dogfish shark and we received a tour of the facility afterwards.
After arriving in Tucson, Chris completed a full inspection of the RV. A friend we met in Yuma shared this tip with us because he found that you have more time to deal with problems and make adjustments if you find things on day one. Unfortunately, Chris discovered that our rear bumper was about to
