Day Trips to Beat the HEAT!

Cooler Weather has Arrived in Tucson

One of the things we have been trying to do this year is take more day trips out of Tucson to find other interesting places in Arizona. Especially places in summer when it is over 100 degrees in Tucson.   Places where the temps aren’t in the triple digits, usually at higher elevations and there are things called “Trees” there.

But the trips aren’t just limited to the Summer months.   As the Fall progresses we’ll try and take trips to the mountains where the fall colors turn with some drama because there are “Trees”. (Notice a theme here?)

Some of the recent ventures have even been outside of Arizona, but within an 8 hr. drive from Tucson.

We have one planned for tomorrow and Wednesday.   We are heading up to Hannagan’s meadow, on to Pinetop and Show Low before coming back to Tucson late Wednesday evening.   The plan is to take a lot of photos of the trip and post them here along with the information about the route and what we found along the way. (at least that’s the plan)

Tucson in the Fall

Once the heat breaks there are a lot of things to do around town on the weekends.   This coming weekend is no exception.   Briefly here are   a couple of things:

SAHBA Home and Garden show Fall 2009

The SAHBA Home and Garden show October 9 – 11 at the Tucson Convention Center   There are discount tickets for this event all over Tucson, (Try Fry’s) There is one on the website for the show as well.

Patagonia Fall Festival 2009

The Patagonia Fall Festival October 9 – 11 at Patagonia, AZ   (Wow now who is buried in Grant’s tomb)

The weather is windy, but cooler.   Looks like it will be a great week here in Tucson.
