John & Linda are great hosts and we enjoyed being in their home park again. When we arrived on Thursday afternoon there was a Food Auction to raise money for their entertainment fund. The next day we hiked early in crisp sun and then took a road trip through deep south Arizona, enjoying the changing scenery as we travelled west through cactus, juniper, cattle and hay country. Late afternoon found us in the town of Tubac, an arty town with deep history.
Yummy eats in Patagonia

Saturday we were on "The Loop", a Tucson metropolitan paved multiuse (horse, bike, pedestrian) paved trail maintained by Pima County. Our ride started at 9:30 am when the temperature was a sunny 45F / 7C and it didn't get much warmer! It was fun to explore some new sections of this over 100 mile-long project that is all but complete.

Sunday was busy. After another morning hike led by John, we took a quick drive to historic Tombstone for lunch at "Big Nose Kate's" and to see the Tombstone Quilt Show.
Vintage stagecoach - looks comfortable doesn't it?
Mid-afternoon we were back in Benson where Bill was thrilled to join the Sunday afternoon Jam. In the evening we enjoyed "Revisiting the Orbison Years ", a Roy Orbison tribute show.
Can you pick him out ? Tip - he's not wearing a hat!!!
Monday morning after another hike, we had a quiet, sunny drive back to Apache Junction.
