Wednesday February 6

















I'm writing this on Feb 7th, in case anyone's confused, and I hope to get it posted sometime on Feb 8th if all goes well.

My apologies to anyone who's been checking in over the past couple of days, as there haven't been any posts. If in fact anyone HAS been checking in. But if no one has, then this is all moot anyway and I'm just talking to myself. Nothing new there, really.

Wireless at the casino seems to be a bit hit and miss. Mostly miss. We parked along the back edge of the lot and had no major problems picking up the casino's WiFi, until other units started to arrive and park between us and the building. Whenever someone takes the spot right between, we lose the signal. As you know, Wilie Nelson wa here for a couple nights and graciously lent us his signal, but he pulled out yesterday (Wednesday) just as I was uploading the day's pictures, so that update crashed. Right now there are about 50-60 RVs in the lot, two of which are pretty much diectly between us and the building. Of course I could move, but I kinda like this edge spot.

Anyway, if you're reading this then I must have got a signal at least temporarily. On to the Wednesday post:

---------------------
Whew! A busy day today - we didn't get in all the tourist attractions we wanted to, and we still never got back for happy hour until about 5 PM.

For starters, we had more frost this morning. I'll not include a picture since the last one didn't elicit the degree of sympathy for which I'd hoped. Suffice to say that it was a tad chilly walking Gab first thing this morning in my thongs (the feet ones).

We had planned to do the Mission Mine tour, the San Xavier Mission, the Old Tucson Studios, and the Desert Museum. We had to pas on the Desert Museum, but we did manage to get caught up in a 10 mile line traffic jam between Old Tucson and the mine.

I'm just going to throw a bunch of pictures into today and let them speak for themselves. The only thing to add I think is that Don was pretty happy we both got the senior discount at the mine tour... I was somewhat less happy, but hey, 2 bucks saved is another 1/2 hour in the casino tonight.
