The Tucson Mountains are full of trails and adventures. The latest one for me is the David Yetman Trail. Another “get familiar with Tucson” hike, thanks to my “coffee dealer.” Vicki described it perfectly: beautiful views and a great example of the Sonoran desert. We thought we were starting on one end and actually started […]

Numbers. We live by them. Birthdays. Holidays. Anniversaries. Deadlines. Payday. You get the idea. I have a number that keeps cropping up in my life: 26. Why 26, you ask? I grew up on 26th Street in Tucson. 5962 East to be exact. One of my first addresses in Seattle was 12626. I took my
Sal and I try to find a walk each day that is at least a mile long and in a loop. On this day we (re)discovered a corner of the University of Arizona campus. Usually the southeast corner of campus is considered the athletic corridor in that it features the football stadium, McKale Center (the

Every time I drive down Main headed toward the Mercado, I pass a place labeled “Barrio Anita.” My interest piqued, I knew I had to come back. Parking seemed to be the challenge. It was worth the extra effort. Sal and I found a treasure trove of interesting stuff. We started at Herrera Park and

The latest in the hiking series from Beyond, this one helped commemorate their founding month. As I’ve written in another post, Beyond’s mission was defined by the events of January 8, 2011. Gabe Zimmerman, for whom this trailhead is named, was killed that day. He is one of the 6 lost to the violence at

With everything else happening in January (state funerals, MLK Day, insurrection day…and Inauguration Day) one date got lost, somehow. And it really should be closer to the top of the list: January 8. When I returned to Tucson this past July, I was reminded of that day back in 2011. It was the day Congresswoman
Another walk with good company. Sarah and the team from Beyond manage and present a solid hiking program. This first-of-the-year hike was no exception. Set in the Tucson Mountains west of downtown, the hike starts and finishes at Felix Paseos Park near Gates Pass. A short 20-minute drive from my midtown home, it was an

The Mural Dog and I visited a place I’d only heard of while growing up here. In the past I would have cycled to this place (about 10 miles one way from my house), but decided to make it a stroll-and-discover walk with Sal. Our regular weekly trip to the Mercado was postponed due to

It was a nice book-end to the year. A hike on the last day of 2024 as a follow up to my hike on the first day of 2024 Back on January 1, I started the year with a hike of Goat Island Preserve near Dallas. A fun day of discovery and learning new territory
Years ago, I worked for a corporate division headquartered in Mukilteo, Washington (State). The general manager’s office had a window with a view of the Olympic Mountain Range. It looked out, un impeded, over Puget Sound. When you walked into the office, it was like you were viewing a huge painting. However, the ferry boats
