Today we decided to do a little sightseeing. Went to the biosphere 2 near Oracle AZ--very interesting--the tour was over an hour long--lots of stairs. Several climates from ocean to desert to rain forest. The food growing area is being changed into an area where they will study the effect of the ground's slope on water infiltration into the soil. We are interested in finding the book that was written by one of the women that lived in the biosphere when they were studying a closed ecological system. No one lives in the sphere now.
We also stopped at two SOWER projects--one was Pusch Ridge Christian Academy (Christian School) north of Tucson and the other was Youth Haven Desert Ranch (Ministry to needy children) at Picacho, AZ (off I 10 between Tucson and Phoenix).
The next few days I need to fix the radio in the truck, pack up tools, fix one truck tool box and work on taxes. Then off to Prescott on April 1st. I can't find any summaries of the work that other SOWERS did on that project so you will have to wait until we get there before I can let you know what we will be doing on that project.
I sure like my new GPS--it directed me right to each stop on our trip yesterday.
