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!

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.

Last spring I was contacted by a company in Canada that wanted to use a photo of a culvert with a bunch of flood water running through it that I had taken in Corvallis a few years ago. They asked me how much I wanted for permission to let them use the photo in some of their PR. Rather than money, I asked for a case of pure 100% maple syrup. Best. Decision. Ever.
Some syrup on the pancakes. Yum!
Nikos and Neal joined us for pancakes.
Check out that great syrup!
