Good catch, Scott! We saw these in Lost Dutchman SP but they always moved so quickly that I could never get a decent picture.

Thanks, Bruce. I’m feeling beyond lucky to still be doing this. I felt really good afterwards though. If my health holds, 80 seems like it might be reasonable from the way I felt today. Stretch goal? 85.

Congrats Scott! And happy birthday!

I love this one. It would make a good cartoon. If we had a wall we’d frame and hang it there.

We're hoping to see a bigger variety of birds in January at the state park. But you could be right about the dry season. I know a lot of birds migrate through Tucson in the winter - last year we saw cardinals and blue birds plus several different species of hummingbirds and woodpeckers.

She probably would have eaten right out of Rachel's hand!

What a great uplifting entry, Old Man! I will do my best to follow in your tracks.

Couldn't be more perfect!

Well done, Scott!! What a wonderful accomplishment. You are truly an inspiration to all of us.

There's some kind of communication going on here! What a great photo.

That’s so funny, but it’s the obvious spot to stop. Probably everyone does that passes this way. And the carpet is probably there on purpose, but a bench would really be nicer. They should put up a guest register.

It was nice, and really easier than I’d anticipated. It’s been really good for me to keep cycling around the calendar like this.

Thanks, Kathleen. It’s nice to get this behind me. The pressure’s off now and I can just cruise through the rest of the year.

Thanks, Suzanne. It was a great day, but it really tickled me to think of this song. It came to me early in the ride and I claimed the right to use it for the video. It has a good cadence to cycle through if you’re not in a hurry, and it ran through my head all day.

That was really special, alright. It was a delight turning in to our alley and seeing her waiting there for me to arrive.
