Yesterday we did make it to Biosphere II. it is currently controlled/managed by the University of Arizona. It was interesting to read the History of it. The original experiment actually failed in most part. They did learn how to make Banana Wine. They were several Coffee Trees in the Biosphere. They learned to make Coffee but it was in a limited amount. So they only got an ocassional cup of Coffee.
You do get to go in the Desert Climate area, Ocean area, and Rain Forest area. Unfortunately you do not get to see the living quarters. Most people kind of just walk through. Patti and I enjoy stopping and reading every posted Board. Also you can download a UA Application and there are various points you can stop and listen to an explanation of what you are seeing and how it was used or impacted the people that participated in the Original Experiment.
The UA is still conducting experiments. Such as what happens if they increase or decrease the temperature, humidity, CO2, etc in one of the areas.
Forgetting it was Monday we went downtown to see Museums, etc. These type of things are mostly closed on Mondays because they have been open Saturday and Sunday. We did have an excellent Mexican Lunch.
This is a day of rest and laundry. We start our 3 days of driving (Tucson to Las Vegas, Las Vegas to Reno, Reno to Salem)
tomorrow. We have already Booked next Year's May trip. Our week long stays will be St George, Utah and Sante Fe, New Mexico.
