on to Tucson
by laura beth
On the way to Tucson we stopped at Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch. Ostriches are interesting, but incredibly aggressive, especially when there are over a thousand of them. The farm is also home to emu, fallow deer, rainbow lorikeets, and miniature donkeys. I was quite sad to see the animals fenced in as they were (especially the deer), but was glad to have the opportunity to get to see them close up. So it goes with commercial farming I guess.
We stayed one night at Scott and Ashley's house. Ryan came over and we had a great dinner and visit with them that evening. We hope to check out some sites here in Tucson and catch up with Kenny's friend Forrest before heading on.
