Today was the day of turns. Our goal was to get from the northern
part of Tucson to the southern part. Bubba Barron, the leader and owner of
Coast 2 Coast Bicycle Tours sent us on a route to stay off as many major roads in
Tucson as possible and onto as many bike trails as possible of which Tucson has
many. 28 turns later and I didn’t get lost. YIPPEE! It was great to have a day
of only 47 miles. The ESE wind kept blowing today, but we only had to ride into it the last 20 miles. I hope that it isn't blowing for tomorrow's 73 mile day to Tombstone, AZ. Tonight we are staying at the Adventure Bound RV Resort.
The big attraction to me was the “bone yard” of Air Force
planes that we rode by and a visit to the Pima Air & Space Museum. See the photos below.
Yesterday afternoon I took a hike of about 4 miles up the hills behind the Catalina State Park. I took
pictures of some cacti and views that I‘ve included below. I also got my first sighting of a rattle snake.
Jen, my second daughter who teaches 2nd grade at
the East Palo Alto Charter School, had her class send me a “Have a great trip
Mr. Holden” cheer before I left for the trip.
I’ve been meaning to share it. Here is the link:
