Hey Ruth!

-> 
-> ->  HN> as Sabino Canyon, and the Caverns in Tucson.
-> ->  HN> We tried to get into Karchner Caverns on our
-> 
-> -> We went in summer of 2000, shortly after they opened up. After seeing
-> -> some of the other caves/caverns, it wasn't all that impressive in our
-> -> opinions. YMMV.
-> 
->  HN> I have a particular fondness for caves
->  HN> so I'm sure I'd love to add it to my list
->  HN> of caves that I have visited.
-> 
-> Hopefully they've rerouted the tour path. When we went, they showed us
-> what they think is the world's largest stalagmite. Trouble is, they led
-> you out to a platform about halfway up it to view the thing so you
-> really couldn't get a good perspective of how big it was. They had no
-> frame of reference at either the top or (more logically) bottom. I've
-> been to Mammoth Cave, Luray Caverns, Howe Caverns, Penns Cave and a few
-> other minor ones; Karchner was disappointing.
-> 
I'm sure I'll eventually get the chance
to see the caverns. We'll be going
back to visit AZ one of these days..
right now we are in Sandy eggo and
will be here for the rest of the week.

-> ->  HN> last visit there but they were booked up. Bisbee
-> ->  HN> is a nice visit too.
-> 
-> -> Bisbee is quite interesting, yes. It's got lots of neat shops to poke
-> -> around in. Ever been to Tombstone? We went, as tourists, our first 
week
-> -> end in AZ, when we wanted to get out of the hotel room (4 of us in
one
-> -> room). Then we have been back qute a few times to visit friends and 
for
-> -> Steve to preach at the Baptist church there. He's also preached in
-> -> Bisbee, St. David's, Elfrida, Willcox and Sunsites.
-> 
->  HN> Bisbee is nice, I had a friend who
->  HN> lived there that wanted me to come
->  HN> down and spend a few months doing
->  HN> photography, but that was before
->  HN> I retired and he's moved since then
->  HN> to somewhere in upper Minnesota where
->  HN> he's making harp guitars now.
-> 
-> From the heat of AZ to the cold of MN--odd, but if he's happy, so be it.
->
What can I say...he's been nuts for
a long time! He does make some spectacular
instruments though!
 
-> ->  HN> You can always find something
-> ->  HN> you enjoy if you try!
-> 
-> -> Yes, and visiting 35th Ave was quite an adventure. It's a huge store 
and
-> -> they were moving to an even bigger location in the same plaza last 
year.
-> -> I picked up a number of goodies there. (G)
-> 
->  HN> I tend to avoid stores if I can when
->  HN> on a trip. Coffee shops, small cafes,
->  HN> and bookstores are another matter
->  HN> entirely!
-> 
-> Sewing/quilting stores are my coffee shops. (G)
->
My mom used to make lots of quilts..
but she's not steady enough to do that
any more. 
 
-> ->  HN> olive growing area and we've stopped
-> ->  HN> once or twice in that area...not a whole
-> ->  HN> lot of "stuff" to see in an olive grove.
-> ->  HN> Would be interesting to see em pressing
-> ->  HN> for oil maybe. Now the Pork Shop on the
-> ->  HN> other hand sounds like a place I'd love
-> ->  HN> to visit!!
-> 
-> -> So I've given you a new place to check out. (G)
-> 
->  HN> I never get tired of exploring!
-> 
-> My mind doesn't get tired but the body sure does at times.
->
Mine too!
 
-> -> them (and visiting one), I figured you might be interested. We ran
out
-> -> of time to visit the Pork Shop but will try to get over there the
next
-> -> major trip we have to that area.
-> 
->  HN> I've put it on the list!
-> 
-> I'll write it up, as I'm sure you will, whenever we get there. Right
-> now, I think our next trip out west will be to NV. I will go on line to
-> check out the Pork Shop tho.
->
chat with you soon!
