DAY 4 Trip To Tucson Arizona 4-23-09

Day 4, Thursday, 4-23-09, in Tucson started with breakfast at Jerry Bob's with a run to Renegade Classics and a ride out to Grant's Pass & Saguaro National Park. However, while at Renegade Leathers, we got a call and Emily was sick at home & we had to return to take care of her. But scroll down & check out our activities till the phone call & REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.






My morning started with a mild stroke as I woke up looking into the eyes of Bill's pet Blacktail Rattlesnake. You can always count on Bill to help jump-start your day.

After killing the snake and taking an hour or so to calm Bill down, we head out. Today, Bill opted to ride his Harley

Bill with the local scenery. I love the desert and the different kinds of cactus and stuff growing out there..

Bill has his Harley done in the typical Southern tradition. He has all his covers & things special made with the Confederate Flag as part of it

We get to Jerry Bob's for breakfast at about 6 a.m. For more on Jerry Bob's, click this lenghty link: http://maps.google.com/maps?li=d&hl=en&f=d&iwstate1=dir:to&daddr=8300+N+Thornydale+Rd,+Tucson,+AZ+85741+(Jerry+Bob%27s+Family+Restaurant)&geocode=CStBzDBxCwtdFSq87QEdAJFh-Q&iwloc=1&dq=jerry+bobs%27s+tucson+85742&cid=10470550209063869649&ei=VND1SbD0DY6ciAPNpoDqBw

It is the local popular place for breakfast & lunch and is open 5:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m. The food & atmosphere is excellent. If passing thru & in the area, stop in & said hi and enjoy yourself..

We eat & visit the folks at Jerry Bob's for awhile & then head out to Renegade Classics..

This is St. Elizabeth's Seton Church. I took this to show the landscaping. And this is typical of just about all the church's & mission's in the Tucson area. Well, actually all over this part of Arizona. When I ride out to California next week, I will check out others out around Yuma Arizona...

We got the call from Jackie about Emily and we headed back to the house to take care of Emily while Jackie headed off to work. This is a picture of Bill as we head back and the last pic for today. We basically just took care of Emily the rest of the day & night and crashed early in hopes of riding tomorrow.
