2002 Jim and Sandra Schmid hike on a desert trail – Tucson, AZ

Sandra and I are living in Berwyn Heights, MD so I can work with Christopher Douwes who manages the Recreational Trails Program. As part of work I have a meeting at the Grand Canyon National Park. Sandra flew out with me and we did a little touring in Phoenix, AZ and Tucson, AZ before heading to the Grand Canyon. Ten years ago we lived in Phoenix and Tucson so was fun to revisit places we liked. Today we spent the morning at the Degrazia Gallery in the Sun in the foothills of Tucson. Then we drove to Oracle, AZ to tour Biosphere 2. We toured it ten years ago when it was under construction. Great to see they are still at it. After all that we still had energy to hike a local desert trail. Was fun to have a Mustang rental car.
