The weather got nasty, so I headed down into Arizona. Near Globe AZ I stopped to take a look at the Besh Ba Gowah Salado indian ruins. They traded with the neighboring Anasazi, Sinagua, Hohokam, and Mogollon cultures. And just like all those ancient cultures, they disappeared by around 1450 AD without any real trace of what happened or why. Then I drove down to Tucson and into Sabino canyon.
Sabino canyon is a beautiful preserve of rolling hills covered with brush, trees and saguaro.
A nice creek runs down through the middle of the canyon giving it an oasis-like feeling. Then over to Faywood Hot Springs near Silver City NM for a day in the hot water and warm sunshine. After a nice day at the hot springs, I was off to Sante Fe to visit a friend. Magnificent concert at the beautiful Lensic theater in Sante Fe featuring Eliza Gilkyson and Toni Childs. Then back home.
