Anything going on over there? I'll be there visiting my girl from the 25th-2nd, was wondering what's to do or see. She's new there as well, so she hasn't seen much.

Romantic or must-see places are a plus... as currently I am in the dog house barely getting out... and I mean the big bad dog house... :cf:

Any help is appreciated.

The end of October is a great time to be here.
Will you have your xA?
The windy road up Mt. Lemon, on the NE side of town is a great drive. 20 miles to the top, up around 9000'. There's a little town with fresh apple pie, and lots of trails around for short hikes. Lots of good rock climbing if you're in it. Mid week is best to avoid the crowds.
If there's a full moon they have a nighttime walking tour at Sabino Canyon (again NW side) thats really cool for a date. Its about 3 miles roundtrip, walking on a paved road in the dark.
South of town (about 15 miles) is the last remaining Titan Missle silo from the 50's. You can go down all 7 stories underground. Girlfriends might not dig it though.
And Nogales, Mexico is an hour south of us, with a couple of small towns filled with Art galleries along the way.
In Tucson, Pat's Chili Dogs (on Grande) or a Sammy Dog at the Quero Canello (on Oracle rd.) are pretty good local dive food.

Gates Pass and Star Pass are pretty cool the Desert Museum is really cool if you have a few hours to kill there is also a Wildlife Museum and Old Tucson{where they used to film movies} (I haven't heard very good things about it).... Both Museums, Old Tucson, and Gates Pass is in the same area....


I also offer this to all Scion owners I know if you come into where I work I'll hook you up pretty good, I work in a "upscale" smoke house called El Paso BBQ Company

Yes, I will be bringing my xA... actually adding parts right now so it will be road trip worthy in the desert. :D

Meeting up on Tuesday sounds good, as my girl works, so I have the days free. As for going to your work, is the food good? If so, plan to see me there!

I can't go any earlier, as Scion Nights is on the 25th, which I will be attending, I'll be leaving that night for Tucson.

Thanks for the tips guys, appreciate it. Any like crazy car parts stores I should visit with my free time?
