My late father was a docent at the Sonora Desert Museum, snake handler. My mom threatened to kick him out if ever brought a snake home LOL. I have a cousin that studied the coatimundi as part of her PhD. She later got married there. I used to spend many sunsets perched up at Gates Pass during college-no wonder I didn't do so well that first year haha. Loved to ride the motorcycle out to Old Tucson and the Museum.
Now is the perfect time of year to be in Tucson, after May through October not so much!
