I really loved the Pima Air & Space Museum. I really was into all the World War II birds they had. Check out my Flypaper story about it. http://community.flypaper.net/ViewStory.aspx?id=1316 | karraokey Mon Oct 29, 2007 06:34 UTC
Do not get out of your car to take pictures at the Indian cemetery going into San Xavier Mission. The Indian police truck will drive up and they will threaten you with a citation if you walk out on the dirt driveway on the side of the cemetery. | BerniShand Wed Aug 16, 2006 19:30 UTC

I really didn't know this existed. I saw the film about ten years ago with Pauly Shore. HAHA! Great tip when I'm out that way I'll have a look. |
