Kooser

Pens won 6 - 3

Not many pictures this year, but another grand ski weekend was enjoyed by the skiing crew.  For me, the trip began with a hotel night at the Tucson Airport where I had a TV for the first time in months.  And fortunately, the Penguins were on local TV as they were playing the Arizona Coyotes!

My flight departed Tucson at dawn.

At the PIT airport the sculpture and those of
Franco Harris & George Washington,
welcomed me to Pittsburgh.

Even Better!  Bill and Bob met me and we enjoyed my first
Pitsburgh brews of the weekend!

My mother knit the original sweater like this,
but it was stolen over 30 years ago.
Carol, Bob's wife, knitted this replacement for me!

With plenty of snow on the ground,
it looked great for skiing!

As happens every Kooser weekend, Great Steak!

Guy preps the steaks.

Snyder Hill & Tucson, AZ

Of course, sunsets in Arizona are Glorious!

It was a great campsite at Snyder Hill.  While I had camped in the area last year, this site was more private and felt much more comfortable than the more heavily populated camp I had last year.

Kelly VI, my RV is in that circle.

This zoomed pic shows Kelly VI more clearly.

Fred's Arena Steakhouse became a favorite
and just down the road from Snyder Hill.

Trips to Tucson were easy
and numerous as Snyder Hill
is only a few miles from town.

Near the bike trail.

I love this terrific mural in downtown Tucson.

A terrific jazz festival in Tucson was wonderful.

More jazz at the festival.

Some days later at Monterey Court in Tucson.

Rob came to visit for a few days.

Rob brought firewood and kindling.

One morning we took
breakfast at the airport cafe'.

We enjoyed the Pima Air Museum.

This example of WWII airplane art seemed apropos
for a couple of misplaced Hoosiers.

A fun souvenir

Air Force 1, also served as Air Force 2.
Radio operator aboard was Mike, a friend from Annapolis.

 A visit to the top of Kitt Peak where there
are multiple observatories,
but closed to the public: Covid. 

Still thrilled to see the variety of cacti in AZ.

The last of the firewood before flying to Pennsylvania.
