Vintage flight

old plane

February 27, 2010

Tucson, Arizona

This is one of the hundreds of airplanes and helicopters found at the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson.   We wandered through many hangars and out in the fields viewing old bombers, cargo, fire fighters, helicopters, migs, seaplanes and attack aircraft.  It was a wondrous and educational experience.

Saguaro National Park

Tucson, AZ

The usually sunny weather has brought some rain to the winter dry Sonora Desert in the last few weeks.  The dull brown desert floor has started to green.  The storm clouds are still moving in for more rain tonight.  We enjoyed a ride through the east side of Saguaro National Park today.  I just cannot imagine what this magical place is like in bloom.

Madera Canyon

We encountered this sign along the road to Madera Canyon in the Coronado National Forest.  Yes, it did get out attention as we were about 5 miles from the Mexican border.  Thankfully, we did not encounter any trouble as most seems to take place at night.  This drive was 40 miles south of our RV resort in Tuscon.  We did drive to 5,500 ft of elevation and enjoyed the trees, small streams, and cooler temperatures.  Mount Winston was snow covered. This was a refreshing change for the dry desert in Tucson.
