Sunday morning Skip and I headed to Tubac, AZ - "Where Art and History Meet". It was blazing hot, and we were two of oh, maybe 12 people there, so it was kind of deserted. Neither of us is a big shopper, but since the shops and galleries were well air conditioned, we did a lot of browsing. After 45 minutes or so, we called it a day at Tubac. Kind of a bust, but glad I saw it and can cross it off the list.
For lunch we went to the Tubac Golf Club. This is a lovely property, surrounded by mountains and blue skies. A serene place to spend a long weekend even if you don't golf. While having lunch, we spoke to the couple next to us. They moved to Tucson from...any guesses?...that's right, from Chicago. Shocking, isn't it?
Heading back into town, we drove by the Airplane Boneyard. Officially "Davis-Monthan's AMARG Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group", it's one of the places the military stores planes when they are taken out of service. It was amazing, I can't imagine the billions of dollars in equipment sitting in those fields. There are some great photos here. In searching for those photos, I just discovered that the Pima Air and Space museum gives tours of the Boneyard - I am so doing that!
