We pretty much covered the one end of the Strip of Hotel Shows along I-10 in Tucson Yesterday. As You may recall, we park at a lot about midway along the Strip. Heres are numerous pictures of some of the wild and amazing things we saw.
This should catch us up on the Strip Shows (pun intended). Tomorrow we visit the Hotel Tucson City Center where we expect many fossils, speciments.
