On September 2nd, 17 members and guests drove to Sabino Canyon to enjoy the Shuttle Ride to Turnout 9. The Moon did not rise until we returned to the base shortly after 8:40 pm. Our driver did a great job of navigating the narrow bridges and Camille Short captured many participants, including the Rattlesnake which we had to wait for as it crossed the road in front of us. She did not capture the Skunk running in front of the Shuttle nor the Tarantula which move to the other side of the road, away from the Rattler. A good time was had by all and Cathy Tewksbury did a great job of getting off of to Sabino Canyon and on the Tram! Photos by Camille Short & Sharon Smith

On the prettiest day last week, 9 members drove to Tucson to ride the Sunlink tram through downtown Tucson and to 4th Avenue. Lunch at Caruso's Italian Restaurant was great. We rode the tram thru the edge of the University campus to the end of the line, then reversed and returned to the parking lot and home Upcoming driveouts may include Equine Voices Rescue Facility in April and Sabino Canyon by Moonlight in May. Interested? Let me know. Linda 4/23/2022
Six members braved the breezes to see Mescal Movie Studio where the movies "Tombstone", The Quick and the Dead", "Winchester 73", "Monte Walsh", "Outlaw Josie Wales" and others were filmed. "Hold on to your hat" being the operative word, we heard the history of the various buildings and saw the progress bring made to restore the set to a more usable condition. Lunch followed at the Horseshoe Cafe in Benson. |

It is hard to imagine the size of the equipment we saw as twelve members and guests enjoyed a tour of the Komatsu Proving ground near Sahuarita. Jim McCreery, a Komatsu diesel mechanic, drove us through the grounds as we viewed the machinery and heard the statistics on weight, bucket size, etc. We saw the ramps where equipment is tested as well as the electric truck and the overhead charging structure under development. We had a spectacular view over into the nearby copper mine. Lunch followed at Pub 1922 in Sahuarita. Updated 4/9/2022
