PETROGLYPHS


AFTER leaving the Red Hills Visitor Center we took a short drive over to the Petroglyphs in our area. We chose to access the Petroglyphs using the Redemptorist Renewal Center of Picture Rocks rather then walking the wash to view them. I’m glad we chose the Renewal Center this day to access the Petroglyphs. The Center’s path is a man made trail leading not only down into the wash to view the Petroglyphs but also a path which leads up the other side of the wash, called Way of the Cross. A visual reflection on the sufferings of Christ so incomprehensibly deep and God’s love so unfathomably vast, to reflect on Easter, April 4th this year. We strolled down the path to the Petroglyphs and enjoyed our time viewing them.
Even a kind stranger walked over and offered his assistance for a photo with Tucson. She seems to raise interest, make friends and spread her good cheer of goats wherever she goes.
And just like a goat........................................

Saguaro National Park

Tucson will be leaving with Betty Henning on Friday, April 2nd for her continuing travels across the U.S. and possibly more International travel. Tucson has already been to Canada with Marshall and Trudy Losey and Porto Rico with Lisa Johnson.
I took Tucson out for a local site seeing adventure to curb her need for “Tucson” adventure and enjoy some fun time myself with her before her departure. It was a beautiful, warm Arizona day, March 29th, hitting a temperature high that day of 84 degrees, which was warmer then the average 78 degrees for this time of year.
"Now Tucson! You are not going to get there any faster then me by jumping up on the dash! You're such a goat!"

TUCSON traveled to the Saguaro National Park in Picture Rocks AZ., making a stop in the Red Hills Visitor Center. The center is free of charge and a beautiful representation of the Arizona southwest.



Saguaro NP Ranger Rena Bob was so kind! After I enjoyed a bit of looking around the center and soaking up a piece of the desert under glass, two Red Hills Visitor Center ladies joined Ranger Rena in the fun for a photo with me too!
