DAY 8 Trip To Tucson Arizona 4-27-09

Day 8 , Monday 4-27-09, started off with Bill & I heading out to the mountains. Bill wasn't feeling very well so we were gonna see how far we could get before Bill wanted to turn around. Scroll on down for a brief DAY 8 post and REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE...




As I was getting ready, Bill met me out front. Today he elected to ride his Harley.

We started out on I-10. The Arizona Highway Patrol & Tucson P.D. were busy this morning. They nail a speeder here...

This is the mountain that you see in almost all the older and some newer Westerns. Old Tucson, where they film the movies, is about 1/4 mile down the road. When we went there in the 70's, it was free to get in. Now they charge admission..

We get to Tiny's Saloon to get one of their famous "Steerburgers" but they weren't cooking yet. Bill, at this point, was not feeling any better, so we 180'd and went home. We sat around and he rested the rest of the day and that night. Hopefully tomorrow, he'll feel better. This will conclude DAY 8.
