Later but not shorter! Today we left El Paso at 8:20 am heading west on I10. We had planned to visit the Saguaro National Park and then spend the night in Tucson, AZ. As we were traveling we decided to take a side trip to Tombstone, AZ. After lunch in Willcox, AZ we left I10 at exit 306 and took AZ80 to Tombstone. After a brief tour of Tombstone we headed north on AZ80 and then west on AZ80, north on AZ90 and once again west on I10 to Saguaro National Park. After a drive through this park we once again got on a crowded I10 west and decided to get to the west side of Tucson. What was supposed to be a short day turned into a long day ending at Casa Grande, AZ. Tomorrow will be a much later start and a much earlier end!
