Southern Arizona Explorers

Okay, unlike Francisco Vasquez de Coronado, the innkeepers did not set out in search of Cibola – the fabled Seven Cities of Gold,  but instead, packed a picnic lunch and went exploring in the regions south of Tucson.  Jeremiah Inn’s innkeepers enjoy suggesting off-the-beaten-path explorations for our guests and Wednesday, August 12, gave us the opportunity to check out [...]
