Wow! Thanks for the memories (as he cleans his Glock one more time).

I went last year you will love it. I put my pics online at
http://inscoe.org/trip2000/Titan/ 
and I have the PIMA Air museum online at
http://inscoe.org/trip2000/Pima/\
and while were at it Kitt Peak at
http://inscoe.org/trip2000/Kitt%20Peak/

anyway I travel to Tucson every year at least once to see the family.
We'll have to link up when I get there which will be either within two
weeks or November depending on which contract job I take next. %^\

There is nothing like hiking up into the Rincon's in winter!
