Tucson - Oracle - Hiking

Thursday was a work day. We put new tires on the Jeep and resealed the roof of the RV. Took the whole day.

Friday we received mail for the first time since we hit the road. Mostly junk, then bills, but a couple of nice letters. We're planning on leaving tomorrow so Clint can get to see his mom by the first of March. We wanted to see the Tucson mountains before we left. Didn't see the portion that has greenery, but I did enjoy hiking some along the Arizona Trail southeast of Oracle. We saw what we believe is a golden eagle perched on a scrawny cactus tree. Beautiful!

We passed by Catalina State Park. The Biosephere2 is close by. I'll be adding that to my things to see next year.
I enjoyed seeing a little snow at a distance on the mountains. There's skiing up in them thar hills. I really enjoyed the beautiful sunset.

The highlight of the day was listening to the news about the jaguar that was captured and tagged just southwest of Tucson - down a little south from the park we visited earlier this week. He's the same one they've seen crossing the border the last few years. Tidbit of info: he's the largest cat in the US and the only one that roars. This guy came in at 118 pounds.
