A cold windy day on the drive to Tuscan. There was snow in the mountains and we drove thru some sleet.
We were so excited to try one of the oranges from the tree on our space until we tasted one and discovered it was a cross between an orange and a lemon. Later learned that they are called meyer lemons, thanks Roger.
On the drive back from Nogales Mexico we weren’t sure if we missed the border crossing or not when we saw this sign.

There were so many planes to see both outside and inside it was hard to decide which photo to share.
Never know who you might meet at the museum.
Taking our first break on the hike into Sabino Canyon. In the background you can see the tram path far below, we were not even at the top yet.
Karen getting ready to cool her feet off before we hike back to the tram stop in Sabino Canyon.
Riding back down on the tram and still smiling after a 3.5 hour 6 mile hike with lots of switchbacks.
The river was our turn around point approximately at 3,700 ft, lots of ups and downs.
This is a crested saguaro cactus, it is rare to see and they are unsure what causes it to grow this way.
Yes, I can hear you now. The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum was a little on the expensive side, it is a 98 acre botanical garden and zoo. You could spend a full day here between the museum areas and hiking paths.
Karen has not lost her knack for finding the dirt roads. This is the loop drive in Saguaro NP.
The drive thru the Saguaro NP was very interesting and bumpy, there were people in cars but they had to scrape by a few times.
