Common Nature things -for all places where you lived

THe Boyce-Thompson Arboretum near Globe, and is interesting, especially with the near-by mining history. But the AZ-Sonora Desert museum is a must see as far as I'm concerned. And if you're into westerns, the "Old Tuscon" movie set next door is interesting, although some of the historic building burned in a massive fire about 15 years ago.

I have been to both, though we went to the arboretum in AUGUST--terrible idea, but it was pretty even then. I went to the Sonoran Desert museum back in February, and didn't get as much time there as I wanted (grad school interview). I'm pretty much an all-around biology geek (both small- and large-scale) so I really wanted to go run around both places a lot more than I got to.

Love some of your descriptions of various places across North America.

(Am I the only foreigner outside of U.S. to give of "places in past, present"?)
