Saturday: (03/16) We headed South a few miles on I19 to the only remaining Titan II Missile site.

It's an intact site, including the dummy training Titan II missile. The other 53 sites were totally destroyed nearly 20 years ago. It was interesting to see how primitive the systems were that could have eliminated mankind.

We stopped for a look at the San Xavier Mission and spotted this crested saguaro by I19 at the Mission exit.

After lunch we headed back to Tucson to do a little more exploring. Lou made scrambled eggs and chorizo for breakfast. Ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch. Corn and green pepper chowder at Sprout's Market for dinner.
