4th of July at Kartchner Caverns

John and I both worked at the Caverns in the morning on the 4th. On our final tour, we met a wonderful family vacationing from Puerto Villarta. If you are reading this, we both hope we will see you "down the road"!

In the evening, our neighbor, Bob, joined us at our picnic table as we watched the fireworks in Tombstone and Sierra Vista, about 20 miles away. We listened to a local radio station that was broadcasting patriotic music, and watched Scorpius and Sagittarius rise over the desert.



As an experiment, I tried zooming in during the fireworks. This is the result -- makes the town look a lot bigger, doesn't it?



Happy 4th of July to one and all.
