Had a good time here in Tucson

We will be leaving Tucson tomorrow morning. We had a great week here and got to see some nice things. First we went to see some friends we know who were staying in Huachuca AZ. Had a real nice time catching up on things and then went to lunch. When we left there we went to Fort Huachuca that started in 1877 and toured the museum. It was the home of the Buffalo Soldier.

The next day we took a drive to Mission San Xavier. It is a very beautiful mission that was first founded in 1692, It has been rebuilt several times and is still being restored. You can take a tour that tell all about the founder and the history of the mission.

Then we went to Sabino Canyon and took the shuttle to the top of the canyon and I walked the road 3.8 miles back. It is a very nice desert canyon with lots to see. Even got my feet wet on the walk back as the river runs over the road.

Then I took the bike up to Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum. This is an animal park of sorts with all Sonoran Desert animals and lots of plants. It is a must see if you are in the area as there is so much to see here. I would love to do this one again.

We will be going to Casa Grande for 4 days then on the Yuma for two weeks with friends Lee and Elaine. Should be a great time for sure. As always I have added a link at the top so you can see most of the pictures we took there.
