Tucson - The last hurrah

Social Distancing continues.  I got to the grocery store at 6 a.m. and was able to score a 20 pack of Scott's 1000 toilet paper so I am good until October!

I continue painting Rocks

Found a new Dog Park that is open

We are getting stir crazy so we take a drive to Reddington Pass

 It started out paved but changes to dirt road

 a Petrified creature?

 It is a really pretty drive.  The thistles are over 5 feet tall here!

 It is a windy beautiful drive. 

A trailhead for the Arizona National Scenic Trail which stretches 800 miles spanning the entire length of the State.  Maybe another time.

We turned around a little ways down the road.  We could have done the Loop which is 120 miles but short on gas and time

Cactus are staring to bloom

We were going to do Aqua Caliente Park the same day but heard it was closed.  We later found out it was only closed Easter Sunday to avoid large crowds gathering, so we head there another day,

 

 Translating to Hot Water, it is a101-acre park featuring a warm spring and pond . It has a history of evidence of human habitation dating back about 5,500 years. In 1873, a ranch and health resort was developed to promote the curative properties of the warm springs. In 1984 local businessman Roy P. Drachman donated over $200,000 toward the purchase of Agua Caliente Ranch

 Hundreds of Turtles

 and some Ducks too

 What a beautiful spot - wish we had found it sooner!

Tucson gets some last hugs from Paula,
President of the Tucson Fan Club.

Looks like it's time to head out!
