Tucson

 We arrived in Tucson on Friday afternoon.  Our friends, Carol and Bob took us to their home in Saddlebrooke for wine and beautiful mountain views.  After wine, we enjoyed a great pizza at their favorite local joint. 
Yesterday, we visited the new Lazydays location here and looked at some rigs- nothing we had to have - some things to think about.   Last night, our friends gave us a tour of their community. It is a very nice adult living community-3 restaurants, 3 fitness centers, 5 pools- classes and clubs for any interest. They really love living here (again,something to think about :)
 After the tour, we drove up to the town of Oracle and enjoyed dinner at the Oracle Inn.  Oracle is a mining town in the Santa Catalina mountains founded in the 1880's.  The Oracle Inn was a hangout for Buffalo Bill, and Annie Oakley.  

 











In later years, the area was the setting for many movies and Tom Mix and John Wayne tilted back a few brews at the Oracle Inn.
There are numerous photos and artifacts all over the restaurant.  In addition to colorful history, they also serve a pretty good steak.  

We are meeting our friends for breakfast and then will head back to Deming.  It has been a great visit, and we will absolutely be spending more time in this area.  See you down the road....

  4. Looks like this area has given you lots of things to "think about". Don't think too hard now.
