Snowbird Journal--Feb 18 to 23--Colorado Contingent






Sorry, we've not posted anything for awhile, but we've been having a ball showing The Colorado Contingent around SE Arizona. They all arrived on the 18th and we never slowed down. We managed to see San Xavier del Bac, Texas Canyon, Tubac, Patagonia, Tombstone, Bisbee, the Desert Museum, Saguaro National Park West, Empire Ranch, and Ft. Bowie, and a great tamale dinner at Amy and Jims.  We would have liked to have showed them a few of our other favorite sites, but we just flat ran out of time. It was really great seeing old and new friends. The line of the week came when we were in the mineral exhibit at The Desert Museum.  It's a dark, cave like room with lighted mineral displays.  As we were looking at the azureite,malachite and several other "ites" John says, "Oh look there's some cellulite." He's just lucky that there wasn't a very large angry woman in the crowd. If you want a more complete chronicle of our exploits and misadventures go to www.cid69.blogspot.com This is Larry's blog and it's always first rate.
