We are going to hike up the mountain, amongst the various cacti.
Jamie is hoping this is a trail she hiked years ago, looking for a spot she called magical, so we are on a quest to find that spot.

Climbing for over an hour. Sometimes you just need to get away from the crowds for a short while to "recharge" yourself.

...Off to the show, Thursday. Jim made it from Houston to Dallas, but there is a foot of snow on the ground and things are not good for travel. He is hoping to get in to Tucson sometime in the early afternoon.

It seems I cannot post any more photos to this thread, must have reached the limit. So I will try to start phase two in another thread. I am working Jordi's server so hard it won't have anything to do with me anymore!
So...I will try another part to add to the first part then. Cheers!

Gail, in five minutes I will open your quota, so you don´t wil need open another thread. On case still remains the trouble, please just open another thread with the same name and us we will unify both threads ASAP.
Please, more posts! ;-)

Oh joy! I see I can continue posting!
Well, today was the final day of the show and we had an absolute wonderful time.
At five we broke down our display case and went to dinner, for Valentine's day, with Karl and Carol Warning at El Minuto by the convention center. It was sad to say goodbye to all our friends, but alas...back to the real world.
So, to continue where I left off, thanks for the added photo space Jordi!
Glad you are home safe and in good health. Jim says hello!
