When we left Organ Pipe, we headed northeast to Tucson to meet with good friends Mitch and Barb at a B&B in the Catalina Mountains. On the way, we toured the observatory installations at Kitt Peak. Kitt Peak is run by a consortium of Universities, hosting several large optical telescopes (upto 4 meter diameter) along with some solar telescopes, too.
The best thing about this B&B was the fact that Barb and Mitch could sleep inside and we had a spot to hook the 5th wheel up outside. It was a good spot for us to meet. 
We had alot of fun together, touring the Sonoran Desert Museum was one of the highlights. They offer a great raptor program, highlighting barn owls and Harris hawks.
This parrot wasn't flying free like the owls and the hawks. Instead, we found it in an enclosed aviary. This parrot is native to the southern Sonoran.
