Everything is not IRIE on the beautiful Island of Jamaica!
❤️🏝️🇯🇲
Before experiencing the fury & aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992 I lived in Cristiana where the Eye of Hurricane Melissa is heading!

I’m praying for y’all 2,340 miles northwest in the Sonoran Desert.

Babad Do’ag is a Sky Island that rises out of the Sonoran Desert Sea & an enjoyable afternoon walk yesterday became unforgettable because it’s the 1st time I’ve seen cows glow!

During summer of 1993 the Grand Canyon inspired me to walk 15.51–21.12 miles from the campground to the Colorado River & back!
🏜️
Yesterday Babad Do’ag, Baboquivari Peak, & the Sonoran Desert surrounding sacred O’odham Village S-cuk Ṣon inspired me to walk 15.35 miles!

The Cycling Javelina on the Loop in Pantano River Park south of Sabino Canyon Road enjoys a view of Babad Do’ag & reminds me of an extraordinary experience on the other side of the Wash walking for 1.11 miles alongside 3 coyotes searching for, finding, & enjoying breakfast!

The Global Justice Center in S-cuk Ṣon is where my water bottle & shirt will display visual clues that the presence of the Tohono O'odham Nation & the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona are priceless gifts in my life as their friendship, laughter, & wisdom are Sonoran Desert treasures!

Maybe on ice skates they have a chance BUT in the Sonoran Desert I’ve seen roadrunners run 25 mph YET this week a coyote sprinted past me in a wash at 40+ mph!

I can see the lights of the “Purple Reign” Stadium 5 miles southwest on my Sonoran Desert balcony garden but Thursday night JV Football in the foothills of Babad Do’ag is spectacular as the Sabino Sabercats host the Sahuaro Cougars!

Looking forward to the 5K then being in Pascua Pueblo Park on Saturday the 20th to celebrate Federal Recognition Day!

Hopefully you are able to stop by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson Pascua Yaqui Clubhouse next time you’re in the Sonoran Desert Doctor Jennings!

When you totally dig the []_[] but live 2,234 miles from Hard Rock Stadium a spectacular orange sunrise reminds you that it’s great to be a MIAMI HURRICANE in the Sonoran Desert especially after beating Notre Dame!

If I hadn’t seen it fly into the Bosque then perch on a Velvet Mesquite Tree for a few seconds I would have walked past & missed it!
