Tucson - St Patricks Day

 It was an easy riding day. 39 miles and 1200 ft of climb. We had an urban ride, traversing NW Tucson to SE Tucson. Mostly traveled over city steets, but had a few miles over a beautiful trail system.  

As we approached our campsite, we passed the "largest aircraft boneyard" in the world, populated by various Air Force planes that were mothballed.  We were denied entrance to the boneyard, and visited the adjacent space and aircraft museum.  Volunteer workers at the museum estimated that the boneyard contained at least 2000 aircraft.

The virus continues to spread through the group, and is currently counted at 17.  The staff is doing there best to make us comfortable, dispensing anti nausea and diarehea drugs.  Additionally, they are requiring everyone to don rubber gloves before handling food or food utensils.
