Darn, I'll miss you by a week! I'll be flying into Phoenix and staying in Sedona for a few days in early January.

I visited Phoenix last January and had a lovely time. The highlight for me was the Desert Botanical Garden in Papago Park. The park itself is a lovely, huge park that includes the Phoenix Zoo, some great hiking trails, and some interesting rock formations you can climb. There are also a good number of letterboxes scattered around including (shameless plug) one of mine a short stroll from the Botanical Garden parking lot.

Thanks, I seem to have spent a lot of time in Papago Park since starting my research. Saw your Century Plant box and have it prioritized. Looks like the race course takes us through or near the park as well. Wonder if I'll lose a lot of time if I stop to nab a box during the race :-)

Sorry I'll miss you. Maybe you'll have time to plant yet another.

Are you collecting rock n roll events? Best wishes on your run. I had to give it us when a freak fall took out my knee. Cycling now and nearly permanently located in Tucson.

Not collecting Rock n Roll events. Did the one in Virginia Beach because well I live here. Was going to go to Disney in January but we've been there a few times so I used Rock n Roll as my travel guide. We wanted to go somewhere in January and Phoenix had a race going on. We've never been there so we opted to run and tour.

I'm 70 now and I worry about my bones too. Really starting to like the races that I do every other month sort of. After Phoenix it's back home for the Shamrock Half-Marathon in March than on to Indy for the Indy 500 half-marathon in May. Nothing planned after that.

We only have one day (Thursday) planned in Tucson (looks like a two hour drive from Tempe) and will be spending a lot of time touring the boneyard. If you're in town and want to do late lunch or an evening coffee or something let me know.
