Hello Helen,
Thanks for those photos. I found some here:
Did you post others?
Ann, I can't find the photo you mentioned.
I created a folder called "Tucson Mountains" for anything in the
mountains west of town. You can add your stone house photos to it, here:
Helen I know the ruins you are talking about! I think Ann is
referring to the stone house you can see from your car on the south
side of the road as you drive on Ajo Way near Kinney Road.
My two favorite places for legal night hiking are Sabino Canyon and
Tumamoc Hill. They're so close and easy. I don't have the patience
to drive all the way beyond Gates Pass, or up Mount Lemmon. Someone
please let us know if there are others.
I personally wish Agua Caliente Park was open at night. Was there ever
a period when that area was a "make out spot" before the Park Service
began to control it?
Thanks,
Carlos

Regarding, first, "Birdie," turns out HE, (yest, Birdie was a he)
was my
grandmother's horse, not my great-grandmother's. my mother told me
just about
every kid in those days learned to ride on him, he was so gentle.
he lived to 30.
somewhere, my mom has a copy of "The Mine With The Iron Door" book,
autographed and all. she just can't find it, but I doubt that she
accidentally put it
in the "Bookman's" pile.
Regarding Radio, oh I loved "KWFM rockkkkkkks Tucson." which leads
into one
of the Stone Houses Ann mentioned. Is that the one on the Yetman
trail right
in the middle of Tucson mountain park? it was a favorute
destination for old
hiking club moonlight hikes. take a boombox, build a fire in the old
fireplace and dance. until I led it. I took alternative rock music
and danced while
everyone else whined because it wasn't country music. oh well, they
missed
all the fun. not long after my trip, a park patrol showed up during
the dance
and kicked them out.
you're no longer allowed to use Tucson Mountain Park after dark.
*sigh*
during a lunar eclipse, the whole thing filled up and some friends
and I hiked to
the top of a small hill to watch, and along come the authorities to
kick us
out.
****Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL
Living.
