Historic Aviation Boneyard

Tucson AZ

Situated on Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the boneyard contains many decommissioned airplanes all lined up in rows. They used to conduct tours of the boneyard, but no longer. So I had to take the pictures from the road.

Saguaro National Park East

Tucson AZ

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein
-Psalm 24:1

Having never seen a single saguaro cactus in person prior to this trip, this park was amazing to me! Saguaro National Park is both on the east and the west side of Tucson. This park is on the east.

Tombstone Epitaph

Tombstone AZ

In the 1950s the TV show Tombstone was narrated by the editor of the Tombstone Epitaph, so it was cool to visit the place.

Flipped over, the plate can be read.
