Trip South - Tucson AZ - week 4

 The morning after Thanksgiving, Gary is very sick and I end up taking him to Emergency at the VA Hospital.  He was admitted and diagnosed with Diverticulitis.  Released on Sunday and home and on the mend.  You can see in the windshield I am on my way to pick up my No. 1 Marine!

 

 

After a couple days rest, Gary is getting antsy, so we head to Aqua Caliente Park for a stroll.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There are may paths here, we follow the paved one along the ponds

 

 

 

 It's a beautiful day

 

and a beautiful park oasis in the middle of a desert town

You pass through a canopy of the old Orchard

This is a Mesquite Tree over 200 years old

They finally pick up the burned out 5th wheel

While walking Tucson around the Park one day I spotted a guy who had talked to me about a Sun Oven, out with his set up cooking a roast of Lamb.  I thought it was a great idea and found a deal on one on Facebook Marketplace here in Tucson.

Just kept rotating it every 20 minutes or so.  The temp stayed around 300 degrees

and after 3 hours - done!

and it was delish!

Can't wait to use it again,

and it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here.
