Cold Front!

 

Tuesday was another play day.  Bill and I, along with our friends Rich and Ronda, visited the Amerind Museum near Dragoon, AZ.  Once again, we used our Tucson Passport and saved 50% on entrance fees.

The museum is in Texas Canyon and sits among beautiful rock formations.  We toured the museum, as well as the Art Gallery next door.  We enjoyed our visit very much.  The museum contained some beautiful artifacts of the American Indians, including baskets, pottery, tools, etc.  They also have a beautiful display of Navajo blankets.

Photos are not permitted in the museum or art gallery; however, they have posted some nice pictures on their web page.  Photos are allowed outside, but it had gotten too cold to take many.

The museum is housed on property purchased by William Shirley Fulton, who was from Connecticut but moved to Texas Canyon after visiting and falling in love with Arizona.

When we left the museum, we noticed the outside temperature had dropped, and the wind had really picked up.  Here comes the cold front that was predicted.

It was lunch time, and we headed to Big Tex BBQ in Willcox, AZ.  The smell was amazing as we walked up to the train car that houses the restaurant.  We all had the brisket sandwich, and it was very good.  If you are ever near Willcox, AZ on I-10 and have a hankering for some good BBQ, you need to visit Big Tex BBQ.

 

When we stepped out after lunch, the cold front was upon us!  The wind was howling, and Bill and I were glad we were not pulling the rig today.  As we headed back towards Benson, it began to snow...not a lot, but it was still snow.

 

By the time we got home, the winds had died down, the clouds were disappearing, and the sun was trying to break through.  But here's proof that it really did snow.
