This photo set is kind of a hodgepodge of what was left after Patagonia and Parker Canyon were removed.

Early snaps were of the stretches of Coronado National Forest between Tucson and Parker Canyon, later snaps were from the road between Patagonia and Nogales. We did catch a stunning sunset right on the outskirts of town.

On the way back to Tucson, I got caught in yet another Border Patrol checkpoint. The agent stopped us, looked at me oddly for a couple seconds … I finally said “Hello,” he asked if I was a citizen, and then told me to move along before I responded.

I wonder if maybe some of these resources should be reallocated to something like murder or domestic violence or something.
