Beautiful Memories
We’ve enjoyed a week-long visit with friends Chris and Judy. Before they hitched up their trailer for the drive home, we had one last adventure in Saguaro National Park East. There’s a beautiful loop drive through the park with ample pull-outs for an up-close look at the desert vegetation. Our first stop allowed Chris, who in his younger…

Do Horse Steps make Horse Sense?

Billed as an adventure/thriller, the story follows a carload of passengers whose lives are threatened when a windstorm cripples the tram and they are left hanging 8,500 feet in the air. The Palm Springs Tramway played…
