    Superstition Mountain

    13. februar 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

    We decided to walk the Lost Goldmine Trail to the Turks Head. It was 64⁰, plenty warm for a walk in the desert. Before we got to the parking lot, a squadron of javelinas crossed the road! Adults, mid size and littles. This was a little too long for our first walk. Legs and hips were really tired.Les mer

  • Our stay

    14. februar 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    We took a walk to our town this morning just to check it out. Mostly galleries and fine arts. Today was Monday so most businesses were closed. Then we took a little drive.

  • Sierra Vista

    24. februar 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    We were going to hike in the Patagonia Senoita Creek Preserve but the gates were closed. So we decided to go to Sierra Vista. Once there, we chose to go to the San Pedro Riparian Conservation area where we visited numerous times. It was so warm, 82⁰, that our walk wasn't very long.Les mer

  • Tucson and art

    25. februar 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Over the past year, we saved money to create our tile table. Last year we made a wall hanging and absolutely loved it. You pick out tiles that are in small boxes and arrange them in the size you selected. We packed them in. Glorious day, clear and low 80s.Les mer

  • Nikki returns home

    3. mars 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Today Nikki had to return to Boston. We stopped at the St. Xavier Mission on the way to Tucson. This site is an old church and surrounding buildings that have been restored. The docent was soo knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I did not take any pics. After this we had lunch then off to the airport.Les mer

  • Richard Williams Trail

    5. mars 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    We drove south about 4 miles to the Richard Williams Trail and walked north up to the Santa Cruz board crossing. We've been to this point numerous times but from the other direction. This trail went along a railroad for a while. We did see 4 deer, smaller and grayer than ours. Nice day, no wind.Les mer

  • Anza Trail

    8. mars 2025 ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    We did not walk on Friday as it was raining!! A few snow flurries mixed in. The mountains to the east got some!
    We walked on Saturday, but nothing spectacular. Just had to get out.

  • Anza Trail from Tomacacari

    9. mars 2025 ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    Today's walk was almost 5 miles. We are determined to walk from this street to our town and back before we leave. It's a total of 7 miles!! We need a cooler day and will bring water!
    It appeared that the Santa Cruz was a little muddier and deeper than before. Although it's not a very big river.Les mer

  • Anza Trail

    15. mars 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    We went on our usual Anza Trail walk today. We cross the river on 4 boards and then turn around at a gate about . 25 miles later. If we go thru the gate, we will end up at the Tumacacori Mission. No javelinas and no deer.
    It's been cool and rainy the last couple of days so this was our first walk in a couple of days.

  • Last Anza Trail walk

    19. mars 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    We left the Tumacacori Mission at 10:50 for our last walk this year. 63⁰ but way better than 80⁰! We headed south. Trees, shrubs and grasses are really getting going. We saw a small deer feeding in the river. All he did was look at us! We turned back after walking 2+ miles. A huge beetle was on the path. We continued beyond our starting point and turned around at the gate. Now we only had 1 more mile to go before we could sit in the car! Great last day!Les mer

  • Orchid room

    23.–26. mar. 2025, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 15 °C

    These are pics inside the orchid room. As I entered my mouth fell open. It was stunning! Some were so unique. Some orchids were sent here from Hawaii in various stages of growth so the display would always be beautiful. I may have to try growing these again!!Les mer
