We visited the Casa Grande ruins... the remains of ancient people who lived and farmed here hundreds of years ago. the cover over the ruins is to protect and preserve the ruins. Pretty interesting place to visit.
If you will remember from our trip last fall, Gail was always getting into something. Well, nothing has changed! She just had to crawl through a small doorway in the ruins. How about those shorts and that tan..... Minnesotans eat your heart out!
No visit to Arizona would be complete without some cactus viewing. I love the Saguaro cactus....l each one is different than the last and all are spectacular.
Just had to include this one..... Jack saw some sand (like there is none in Arizona) and was pointing it out to Gail.... I think it was really a round tailed desert squirrel.
The last day we visited the Biosphere 2 project near Tucson. This was a two year experiment in the 90's to see if man could live in a self contained environment ( like a facility on Mars would need to be) Eight people (4 men and 4 women) were sealed in and the goal was a two year experiment. They made it 16 months before running out of oxygen. The facility is still used for research by the University of Arizona.
We're now in San Diego visiting Kevin and on Monday will head up to Pismo Beach then home.
Time goes way too fast doing this kind of thing. We go to Washington and Oregon in August.... more at that time.
