We went to the museum to see the amazing creations of Salivate Fidai. His medium is number two pencils. He spends several hours to several days sculpting the lead in number two pencils with only an X-acto knife.

Sabino Canyon
Lush Sabino Canyon is located just north of Tucson. This year round steam bings life to this oasis in the desert. We rode the tram four miles up the canyon and then had a lovely stroll back down.

Oatman AZ
An original section of historic route 66 runs south from Kingman to hwy 40. A major stop on this byway was and is still Oatman AZ. Gold was discovered in 1915 and that small mining camp grew into the town of Oatman today. There is still gold there, but it is now being mined from tourist's pockets.

The Really Big Show
For the annual manufactures fireworks show I had decided to splurge, $250, and stay in SARA park where the fireworks were going to be set off from. I assumed that I would be in the center of the action and within walking distance of the grandstands. Wrong. The fireworks are set off at the Speedway and those dry camping are located line of sight 0.7 miles away at the Rodeo grounds. To get to the grandstand at the Speedway requires 2.2 mile drive through heavy traffic. We decided not to brave the traffic getting to the grandstands and watched from our rigs at the rodeo grounds. We could see all the fireworks that were launched in the night sky, but missed out on the fireworks closer to the ground. The better option is to camp across hi-way 95 from the entrance to SARA park. 34.450188, -114.244203 There is a no overnight camping sign that is not enforced. Camping there, for free, you are only 0.4 mile from the fireworks and a 0.4 mile walk to the grandstands. It was dazzling show. Three nights of non stop fireworks.
