My friend, Rindy, came to visit for Thanksgiving (some pictures via Rindy). It was great to have company and we had a good time!

My first hike was higher up and was a good view of the turning colors.

I joined a hiking club and really enjoy that. I don't have to know where I'm going or how to get there. I meet with a group of people and go! They worry about the rest. It's great. The hiking views are different than in Colorado, but I'm surprised by the mountains around Tucson. Of course you hike in the winter rather than the summer. I guess you can go to the top of the mountains in the summer (called Mt Lemmon), and get half way cool - but I'm sure it's still quite hot.

I've moved again in late Sept 10 - to Tucson this time. I found a beautiful apartment complex and I really like it! I'll add a couple pictures of the view around my complex.
