Drove to Prescott to “hang out”. Fun quaint downtown. Some interesting eateries. The topology there is interesting, it’s more “low mountainous”, just above desert plains in elevation. They get snow on a regular basis.

After Prescott, we drove the couple of hours to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, gaining elevation, seeing more snow. Got a room on the far west side of Grand Canyon Village. Drove west before dark, stopped at the first four lookout pullouts to take in the stunning views.
In the morning we left for home, heading east on Desert View Drive (Hwy 64). Multiple viewing pullouts presented themselves. Some were quick pullouts, some were quite a bit off the road. Many presented with trecherous, icy footing which made it real “interesting” to approach a 1000′ drop-off.

Miscellaneous pictures to follow:
– Barrio Brewing, near downtown Tucson
– Tap and Bottle (south)’s stunning inventory of semi-rare tequilas
– Some of the tequila, and then later, bourbons, on display at neighbor Mike White’s vast “library” of bottles. He lead me on a guided tour both sessions, we dove deep into history, background, and tasting notes on all these bottles. A 3rd session, attended by four of us and 6 others on Zoom, was all about making fancy cocktails with a bewildering variety of ingredients.
– Sunday morning burritos at Barista del Barrio
– Marcado San Augustin Annex
