Superstition Sunrise – Feb 2026

We flew back down to Arizona on February 1, left Paine field in 43° rain and arrived in Phoenix to 80° sunshine. We stayed overnight at Bernie and Ellen‘s one night and picked up our truck and trailer on Monday. They had been safely stowed at a CubeSmart self storage facility.

While in Arizona, we stayed at Superstition Sunrise RV Resort for the second time. Here are some of our many adventures using Apache Junction as a homebase:

The weather was great! We had two weeks of 85° weather when we first arrived, four or five days of cooler 60° weather with some rain, followed by the last two weeks of 85 to 95° weather, unseasonably warm for late Feb, early March.

Every time we go to AZ, it feels like every day is a vacation!
