Western Saturday Night

February 2001, Tucson

Dear B and V

We are here for 8 weeks this time so there’s plenty of open dates on our guest room. Be sure to stay over Saturday night so that we can take in the scene depicted here!

Love, Mary and Lowell

Arizona

One of the nation’s most famous scenic attractions, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River, is located on the northern plateau of Arizona. East of the Grand Canyon are the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest.

The metropolitan centers of Phoenix and Tucson are not far from the cow towns, trading posts, Indian villages and pueblos which are important in the development of the state. One-seventh of the Indian population of the United States is centered in Arizona.

We had great 3-4 hours up on Mt. Kitt at the observatories. Very interesting. Had been up when I went to U of Arizona, but of course all had changed. Have had great weather. Hiking and comping is wonderful (spent Saturday night in motel to watch game and get cleaned up). We stayed in Green Valley just south of Tucson. Very nice, new small town. See you soon.

Love, Tom

I am waiting for Tom to come for breakfast and then take me to airport. Weather here great. Haven’t seen Hills yet. Tim phoned last night. He is out of hospital. See you soon.
