After going to Biosphere 2, Nikos and I headed north to Oracle for some tacos at a little place on the side of the road. The food was outstanding.
Some old mining equipment sitting out front of the restaurant.
I highly recommend Casa Rivera if you’re in Oracle.

While in Tucson for the RAMS 2016 conference, Nikos and I had the opportunity to go checkout Biosphere 2. It’s one of the largest scientific instruments in the world. So neat!
Inside the main environment looking at the small ocean, mangrove swamp, and a few other biomes.

In the desert biome.
Heading down into one of the two lungs.
Down the tunnel!
In the middle of the lung. It’s such a neat engineered structure.

The area where the farms used to be.

While I was in Tucson for RAMS 2016, I met up with my buddy Brian and we trekked up Mount Lemmon to check out the views at sunset. The Saguaro cactus are amazing!
Look at all those cactus! Just look at them!
Tucson spreading out below.
Big canyons with snowmelt flowing through.
What a magical mountain. Thanks Brian for taking me up to the top.
