We met up with friends, 2 couples we had met last year, for lunch at El Molinito restaurant followed by a hike to Garwood Dam in Saguaro National Park East.

We organized meeting for a docent led tour of this ranch that had once encompassed all the land in Green Valley.

A view towards Madera Canyon and the Santa Rita mountains.

A detail of the historic fence and refurbished gate. There is also a blacksmithing shop on site.

Our picnic lunch at our casita in Green Valley. A great afternoon as all hung around through wine o’clock. We were well sugared with donuts and hand baked goodies but that balanced the salads and chicken.

A beautiful sunset a short stroll from the casita.
