Tucson Gem Show Trip January 2011


I made a quick dash to the Tucson Gem Show, which is actually almost 40 different shows all across the city.
I drove down from my home in Colorado through New Mexico. I took a long-cut through Hillsboro and Kingston, where I'd never been before. What an oasis! I think of southern New Mexico and Arizona as primarily desert, and it's just not so. Highway 152 goes the the Mimbres Mountains--a slow and windy pass, but beautiful.
I spent the night in Lordsburg, New Mexico, and drove into Tucson early in the morning. It was so funny to have left anow and skiing country, to see cactus and this sign in southern Arizona!
