November 24-27, 2021 Tucson, Arizona

 71 and mostly sunny!



John fighting with the turkey breast he is smoking tomorrow for our T-day dinner. Sunset tonight. 



Been working on this basket. It has a lizard in the middle. I decided to make a bead lizard on the rim of the basket, but it looks more like a toad. Will have to work on it more. Sunset tonight. 



More sunset. John was going to smoke a turkey breast for Thanksgiving, but his smoker had a melt down and the bird went in the oven. It was all very good. Today was 70 and sunny, Very windy. Some cool clouds this afternoon.



Sunset tonight. 



We had the bus washed and waxed this morning. It is so nice and shiny now, Miles and miles of pecan orchards south of Tucson. 



We went to Madera Canyon and hiked to the Carry Nation Mine. Madera Canyon is a sky island. Mt Wrightson is 9.453 feet high. It is very wooded. 



Fall oak leaves on the stream. Alligator juniper bark, backlit grasses, thistle flower, fall leaves in the stream, white sycamore tree. 



Some old mining equipment at the Carry Nation mine. The mine itself hit water and has a stream coming out of it. 



View above the mine. John crossing the grass at the mouth of the mine. 



More alligator juniper bark, a small fern, a heart shaped knothole, gray squirrel with a bushy tail begging for food, white flower. We are just south of Tucson. It is amazingly green and wooded, for the middle of the desert.


Mt Wrightson and the Santa Rita mountains in Madera Canyon. Mt Wrightson is 9,453 feet tall.
