Starz and Deserts

We are HERE

Well Kitt Peak last night was, err pants apart from the last hour. Lots of sitting around, going to the parking lot, coming back in, watching a sunset, listening to a nervous student waffle and talk at you. It was more interesting when you actually got to look at Saturn, Jupiter and star clusters through a 1m diameter telescope. Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff is heaps better.

Today we are at the Arizona Desert Museum, because Mrs Fogg is craving Museums. And this one is alright, but I totally disagree with caged animals, especially the big eared bats.

Next stop is Patagonia, which we were going via Nogales, but have decided to avoid the border area (given we have now been through 4 checkpoints already).

So far we have racked up 870 miles in 7 days and we ain’t even half way through, but at least it’s a cool 35 degrees today, well until 12pm, then BOOM
