Our Trip To Arizona
We left BC on March31st and drove down freeway 5 to the end the went east till we ended up in Safford Arizona this took three days ... around 33 hours of driving ... give or take ... We went up to the mine on Friday and checked out the scoop for smoke, determined we need a fuel expert from Deutz to come and derate it to 6000 foot elevation ...
Saturday we went to some friends and bonded all over again.
Sunday Son and I went to Tomestone Arizona and checked out the old western town and boot hill was kinda neat ... although it is pretty much a tourist trap ... my wife would like the shopping though haha (will have to bring her this way) ... then in the afternoon we went to Tucson and went to the airplane museum there ... around 80 acres of old planes some war planes and some not ... kind of neat although you would need more then one day to go through it from end to end and read all the write ups on the planes and pilots who flew them.
