Walt drove over from Camarillo to spend a few days with us in late May. He lived in Saddlebrooke, just north of Tucson, for many years and still owns a house there. We had a chance to check out the old house and neighborhood and to have a couple of meals in the community clubhouse.
We also did some sightseeing while Walt was visiting. He loves cactus so we paid a visit to one of his favorite spots, Bach’s Cactus Nursery. Bach’s is a wonderful place to walk around. They have several greenhouses and lots of outdoor plants. It’s like being in an arboretum.
One day we drove up to Mt. Lemmon, atop the Catalina Mountains just north of Tucson. At around 9,000 feet in elevation it’s a popular spot for Tucson residents to escape the desert heat. Mt. Lemmon Ski Valley operates through the winter. It is the southernmost ski area in the United States.
