In this mini-adventure, I explore Tumacacori National Historic Park, savor delicious Mexican food, and chat about a change to my website and a clarified focus for my adventure.
Talk about a couple of crazy, packed-full days of hitting destinations of national importance and learning more about the one National Park Service unit dedicated to Conservation.
I am so fortunate to have friends like MaryBeth and Tommy, who will host me in their homes and show me the sites! Plus, I visited the home and studio of America's most famous sculptor.
A few packed days found me exploring a mine, a lighthouse, a sculpture park, and Korean Tacos before leaving the Keweenaw Peninsula and heading to Michigan's lower peninsula.
