Tucson, Arizona

Thanks to friends in the GFD, we landed at Gilbert Ray Campground, a Pima County park outside of the Sugaro National Park. Beautiful views of hills covered with cacti. Beautiful views of cacti stretching from the edge of our campsite.

A record heat wave here prevented us from visiting the Saguaro Desert Museum. 90 degrees in the winter, while a winter storm runs up the Atlantic coast. Amazing.


If that wasn't beautiful enough, we visited the Tucson Botanical Gardens, including an exhibition of tropical butterflies. Twelve different types of butterflies flitting around in a hot house. Cool...no, hot!


Took 60 pics and had a hard time narrowing them down.

You can see more here.
