December 16, 2021: I have been living in and around the city of Tucson, AZ for the past 27 years. I came out here to attend the University of Arizona for my Ph.D. and fell in love with the southwest (AZ, NM, CO, UT). I had an environmental consulting company prior to retiring early. I now spend my time volunteering with animal rescue groups, even going to Costa Rica and Nicaragua doing spay and neuters out in rural areas. My husband (now deceased) and I spend our time 4-wheeling in the mountains and deserts out here. My love of old mining towns, ghost towns, and old cemeteries had us driving on many dirt tracks that we wondered if they really WERE roads! We spent a lot of time in the San Juan Mountains of SW Colorado, being above timberline and looking out over the world.  Besides animals and old mines, I spend the rest of my time on my motorcycles getting what we call "wind therapy". I ride all year long and as I get older, I am starting to think that A/Cs and heaters should be added to motorcycles!
