In Tucson don't forget about Gates Pass Road, which is just north of you(no RVs) There used to be a few boon docking spots in the Old Silver Bell mine area also. Great jeep rides through that area as well.

The fire was a good thing and did it's job. There was some tree loss on the far side, but mostly it burned out all the trashy stuff so fires are now less likely to happen, at least for several years. It was quite a sight at night to see the mountain on fire. Funny about your neighbor.
