Saguaro National Park East

This is a 9 mile loop-drive through the Catalina Foothills and the Saguaros. It's a beautiful drive and a good place to see wildlife. But nothing was out on this visit.

Hiking to 7 Falls in Bear Canyon

Hike to 7 Falls

This 2.6 mile hike takes you to the top of Bear Canyon where 7 separate waterfalls cascade into one another. It's a beautiful hiking destination, especially when the waterflow is at its peak. This wasn't the case on the day we hiked to the top.

Thinking of you
Hi, I was just thinking I hadn't received a blog for awhile and there it was when I got home from the McIntosh Boys & Girls Championship Games. Girls won - boys lost. I know how you love sports. Anyway, I love all of your exotic trips but seeing these gorgeous American spots really touched my heart. I can see why you love this place. I am glad "life is good." When I get these blogs, I am thankful for technology. And then . . . I am thankful for my sons who can help me figure it out! See ya, Sharon

i think i can, i think i can.....
I just want you to know that Spyros is thinking about June in Create (did i spell that right). Anyhow.....Between you, Ron, and Spyros, i cannot even imagine the tourist story we may get. I think you and Ron would get a major kick of the Charleston Icon, in his homeland. Gee.....I have cut out so many renditions of the next few lines.....Anyhow.... I would love for you to meet my in-laws...as they have lived there, and survived a major life transition. But dag on.....we all love Greece. Even those of us who have never been there!!!! I don't yet have the dates....but Deno and i may need a tour guide also in Switzerland. A land neither of us have visisted, but know we both MUST go! Did I say "MUST"? Love you two!!! mindy
