~ Entrance: Recycled Windmill with Bottles ~ On the edge of Saguaro National Park's Tucson Mountain District is a Bed & Breakfast called Crickethead Inn.  I visited the Inn while hiking one of the trails in the Picture Rocks area recently, and the entrance gate captured my imagination.  Look what can be done with imagination, old bottles and an old windmill! Guests at the Crickethead Inn enjoy what I'm blessed to experience every day: waking to the sounds of the Sonoran Desert, and watching the sun rise in solitude. Crickethead Inn abuts Saguaro National Park, one of our country's most unusual treasures.  The Park's Red Hills Visitor Center, where I volunteer every Thursday, is just ten minutes away.   _____________________ I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson Arizona Mortgage Len...

I'm fascinated by these petroglyphs.  So much so, in fact, that you may be getting bored with them if you're a long time reader of my blog.  (This is the fourth or fifth post in the last month centered around these ancient drawings in stone.) The Active Rain Real Estate Network facilitates communication between business people across North America.  In a short span of time, we communicate across vast geographical divides, often more than 1,000 miles. This rock represents just the opposite.  In a limited geographical location, it communicates across aeons of time, perhaps more than 1,000 years. There's something in the human soul that wants to communicate with others. ___________________ I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson, AZ Mortgage lender. SUNSTREET MORTGAGECall me if I can he...

Ez-Kim-In-Zin Picnic Area in Tucson's Saguaro National Park West is the most remote in the park...  and it's an easy drive from anywhere in Tucson. This lovely rock structure is easily the most unique (and beautiful) picnic spot I've seen anywhere in the southwest. Check this out: Unparalleled views of Wasson and Amole peaks, in the Tucson Mountains. Magnificent evening sunsets surrounded by a forest of Giant Saguaros. 1,000 year old petroglyphs at the nearby Signal Hill Picnic Area Children-friendly, the picnic area has bathrooms! Quiet and peaceful.  Tucson is on the other side of the mountains. Hiking trails created by the CCC nearly 100 years ago - some with hand-carved granite steps (Hugh Norris trail) Friendly Active Rain Ambassador for Arizona would love to be your guide.  (That...

I've resisted the "wordless" thing, but I'm giving in today.  Wednesday, September 16, 2009.  I've resisted because this is a blog, after all.  A web log.  A chronicle of images painted in the mind with words. Your mind doesn't think in words.  It translates words into images in your brain, and then "sees" and processes the images.  Think of this image as a shortcut for your busy mind. It's my favorite saguaro.  You'll see it along Golden Gate Road in Saguaro National Park (west.) ___________________ I'm Mike in Tucson, your preferred Tucson, AZ Mortgage lender.

Tucson's Signal Hill Petroglyphs are thought to be as old as 1,000 years or more.  Signal Hill is located in Saguaro National Park West, on the western flank of the Tucson Mountains.  It's immediately south of the community of Picture Rocks, so named because of the ancient rock art you see here. I spent my Sunday afternoon hiking in the Park with the intent of photographing some of the petroglyphs to share with you.  They're beautiful, aren't they? No one knows just what they mean.  Created by ancient Amerindians known today as Hohokam, the images of the sun, snakes, lizards, game animals and humans may have had religious or ceremonial significance.  They may have been clan markers.  There's even the possibility that they are just 1,000 year old graffiti! Abstract designs outnumber lif...

                      One of Aesop's fables is the story of the Tortoise & the Hare.  (Not familiar? Click the link!  This is a perfect read out loud bedtime story for little ones.)  It's the story of a race between these two.  The tortoise is slow and steady, and wins the race. Have you noticed that even as the numbers of agents, lenders, and others whose living is tied to real estate have dwindled this year, Active Rain continues to grow in membership?  We're adding tortoises! We Tortoises are picking up side jobs, adding to our areas of expertise, and in general, doing what it takes to stay in the business we love.  I believe 2009 is destined to be a "Tortise & Hare" market for those of us committed to the business of real estate.  I'm adding a proficiency in an area long out of fav...
