Not a lot going on the last day or two. Cool this morning, in the mid 30's. The sun was bright and soon warmed things us. Took Nancy to the airport and then drove on north to Scottsdale, actually a suburb of Phoenix. We gained altitude to about 1300 feet and we could look back over the valley and see the smog that settles in the valley and has no way of getting out. Only a strong wind will blow it over the mountains on the other side. We toured the Botanical Gardens near the mountains but it was too cool to get out and check out some of the trails that they have out through the gardens. We did locate the Hall of Flame museum and will visit it soon. It did not open until noon and we did not want to wait two hours, so we will check it out later.
