Tuesday March 16 Sierra Vista - Tombstone AZ

Our day started with 40 degree weather at Benson. Naturally we went swimming in the outdoor pool - 82 degrees. Arrived at Sierra Vista and got lost on the army base trying to find a certain canyon. Finally found it and hiked up the side of a mountain. Found a few new birds here but not like we had hoped. Drove over to Tombstone after a late lunch and spent the afternoon browsing in the shops. Tyson visited with 'Wyatt Earp' about their show. Got some great sunset pictures at another state park north of Tucson along the interstate.

Monday March 15 Phoenix -Tucson

Monday morning we left for southern Arizona. We started the day at the Gilbert Water Ranch in Gilbert (suburb of Phoenix). North of Tucson we visited Catalina State Park and had an excellent time hiking and birding.

Sunday March 14 - Glendale AZ

Tyson met me in Phoenix for his spring break. We stayed at the Leo and Janet "Bed and Breakfast". We then spent most of the week birding Arizona from the south by Mexico to the north by the Grand Canyon. We had a wonderful time and the weather was great. Thanks again to Leo and Janet.

VW Beetle

Pictures of Vonnie's new used car. 2008 VW New Beetle. This was her surprise birthday present, albeit a little late. Yellow is hard to find.

Horse Farm Bike Ride

Beautiful Sunday morning bicycle ride in central Florida through horse country.
