Welcome to the home page of the Desert Rats, Bud and Melissa Bowersock.
We live in Tucson, Arizona--you know, where it gets to be 115 degrees in
June? A lot of people hate it here, but we love it. After living in Southern
California, Oregon and Flagstaff, Arizona, this is our favorite place.
Nice lo-o-o-o-ng summers, mild winters, plenty of sunshine. You'll hear
people say we don't have seasons here, but we do--actually we have five.
We have two summer seasons: the hot, dry early summer and the wet, humid
monsoon season when we get our summer rains. This is also the time of sensational
lightning storms (unplug that computer!), poisonous Colorado river toads
and wandering tarantulas in search of Mr. (or Ms.) Right. Whatever else
the desert is, it's not boring! |
