Marc extremely well done, thanks so much, your research, and highly accurate narration as well as excellent video work makes one feel like we are right there with you. As always great job, so enjoy your Grand Adventures...Thomas
Great video. You found some real interesting places. And the unreal beauty there just makes you want to hike. Another place I wanted to check out was the multi billion dollar lab they used to learn about survival on mars. Somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix
Hi Mark. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. We're at the fairgrounds in sonoita spending the holiday with BDR, BORDER HOOKUPS and new friends from xscapers. Travel safe.
Nice, PeeWee! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. You're really close to that Titan II Missile Museum and silo in Green Valley, go check that out while you're there. It's very, very worthwhile.
Have you been to Ajo? Near Organ Pipe. Revitalized recently, check out the converted school. Mining history, indigenous history, border history, and generally a neat small town.
Really interesting video! I kept getting interrupted but finally got to finish it. I was surprised at the black bear! Loved the museum and awed at the size of the missile! Great video! Wish I could go directly to #145 but I've got to get a turkey in the oven. Thanks Grand Adventure! Happy Thanksgiving!
=Tucson Mountains funny how America is huge and diverse. I watched today other chanel, guy travelled around mount hood,.pacific NW. it is snow around there here in Arisona is reasonable warm. I am in Russia now, so it is not like that!! it is cold already , or fricking cold in other places. good luck, alx
Wow... sticker paradise.😅 You say you bumped into an old friend there!😂 Fabulous coverage, Marc. Really a neat place to visit and stay for a while. So much to see... You hit it just at the right time, too. This is definitely now on my bucket list.😊 I'm going to have to view this one again.🤔 Gord
That Gilbert Ray campground looked awesome. Love the scenery around there. The initial part of the Brown loop looked like a real ankle breaker. I noticed you walking with two hiking poles. I do not recall you ever doing that before. Is there a specific reason that you are using them? Nice museum. I think we would like to go to the places in this video. I’ll have to put it on our list. Thanks Marc. Ram 👍🏼👍🏾
Hey Ram! I've had trekking poles (and in particular, those carbon fiber ones from Black Diamond) for many years. Whether or not I bring them depends on the nature of the trail. This was a good one to have them on. The Tucson Mountains are a wonderful place to visit. Highly recommended.
Enjoyed the video! My uncle was USAF and stationed out there in the early 60's with SAC. We visited him and toured the area in 1964. The plane graveyard is sight to behold.
Greetings from the 2 Tasmanians Marc. I thought we might be just behind you but it seems we are a month behind you. We are looking forward to exploring Tucson even more after your video. Thanks for your great work.
Great seeing you again , Mark. Your channel had gotten un subscribed on my Roku. I do not know how. We just realized we had missed you a couple of months. Glad you are well.
Thank you, we just stumbling across your channel. You do a very in-depth well described video, and have opened many points of interest for us. We are currently in Havasu planning our next 4 months with many of your suggested stops. Thanks again!!! Hope to see you on the road..
Boy it looks like you hit some perfect weather there. Our late October camping had us in Southern Ontario, and let's just say the weather was not quite so cooperative. Had a blast anyway mind you. As always, safe travels....
Great information! We are traveling out West in May from NC and Tucson is one of our stops on the return trip. I have been to the museum twice but that was 30 and 40 years ago, looks like it has really grown, we will definitely visit. Also looking for a great Tostada and Margarita. We are staying at the Catalina State Park. Like you we have limited time and are really looking forward to being in the desert again.
New subscriber! Arizona resident of the Phoenix area. Love that you showcased the Brown Mountain trail as it is one of our favorites! Looking forward to diving into your back videos 😊
Thank you Mark! The area has a ton to offer. In addition to this, there's Mt. Lemmon and more shown in our earlier episode from the area filmed in 2020: ua-cam.com/video/oliXJGK-dP0/v-deo.html
One of these days we'll hit up East, Joe. It just wasn't in the cards for us either time as we were staying in Tucson Estates and Gilbert Ray, respectively.
Well done Marc! You’ve captured Tucson perfectly. We’ve traveled from our home in Southern California to Tucson annually (sometimes twice each year) for the past 30 years. We don’t have family here…we just love the place. Nearly all of that time we’ve been members of the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum (you excellently covered this gem). The past 8 years, since retirement and since purchasing our RV, we’ve stayed and enjoyed our week at Gilbert Ray, and other camping for a month or more in the greater Tucson area. We will be at Gilbert Ray as soon as we pry ourselves out of Southern New Mexico. Happy Thanksgiving Marc (and Mrs. Grand Adventure)…and safe travels.
Thank you Gerald! It's a wonderful area with so much to see and do, we covered two episodes in three years without hardly duplicating anything. And we still have plenty more for another visit, too. Happy Thanksgiving as well to you and yours!
Great video Marc, We stay ay catilina state park for two weeks every winter . Great hiking trails there. Now i have to try gilbert ray campground , and diffenetly check out the Arizona sonoran desert museum. Big thumbs up.
Awesome video, Marc! Happy Thanksgiving to you, Patricia, and Zoe! I need to get my wife down to the Tucson desert area. Well heck, while we are there, get her to Tucson too! Safe travels!
Thanks for the shoutout! Watching this makes me want to return and spend another winter there. Travel safe my friend!
Thank you TR! And Happy Thanksgiving.
The desert museum is fantastic! Totally worth the money!
We agree 💯Artie!
Hello from Puerto Rico friends, would like to be there .just enyoy that time , some day i will be there
Well, we'll bring you along on a virtual trip tonight, Ramón!
Marc extremely well done, thanks so much, your research, and highly accurate narration as well as excellent video work makes one feel like we are right there with you. As always great job, so enjoy your Grand Adventures...Thomas
Thank you as always, Thomas! That's my overreaching goal when editing is to always try to make the viewer feel like they are traveling along with us.
Thank you I really enjoyed that as usual very interesting take care
Thank you Joanne!
i love the Tucson area. enjoyed the music you used in this episode 🎸
Thank you, sir!
Great video. You found some real interesting places. And the unreal beauty there just makes you want to hike. Another place I wanted to check out was the multi billion dollar lab they used to learn about survival on mars. Somewhere between Tucson and Phoenix
Thank you! Interesting, I always thought that was in Southern Utah. I'm going to have to do some research to find that next time.
Your videos make me want to visit even Tucson
LOL James! We went back three years later for a reason. 😉
Excellent video. And perfect music selections! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Penelope!

We are thrilled to have you along, thank you very much!
May I ask what camera your using really high quality footage with zooming capabilities? Would love a camera like this
Sure! Our workhorse camera that's doing those power zooms is a Sony Alpha a6500, fitted with the Sony G-Series 18-105mm f4.0 lens.
Excellent video Marc! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Great video. The Titan Missile Museum looks awesome. Thanks Don
Thanks Don! That missile site really is impressive, and we would not have known about it were it not for a viewer who pointed it out.
Thanks for the great information Marc. Looking forward to going next year.
Thank you Beth! I hope you found some useful information here for your upcoming visit.
Very nice composite of the area. Thank you, we will visit.
Thank you Mark! The area has a ton to offer. In addition to this, there's Mt. Lemmon and more shown in our earlier episode from the area filmed in 2020: ua-cam.com/video/oliXJGK-dP0/v-deo.html
Thanks Marc, really enjoyed every minute of your video.
Thank you very much, Joyce!
Stayed at Gilbert Ray in Jan of 2020 loved the campground and the area with all the thing to do. No I did not do the hike.
We were first there just two months after you, Norm, staying at an RV park in Tucson Estates just down the road.
Love show.
@@jackbeck3445 thank you!

You are most welcome Ross! And happy Thanksgiving, too.
Headed to Arizona in late March. First time in southern Arizona while on our way to the Solar eclipse in Texas in early April.
Very nice episode!!!
Thank you Tim! Hopefully you'll have some time to stop and smell the rose-colored cactus flowers along the way.
Great content Marc! Thank you for another great place to put on our list.
Thank you as always, Matt!

Awesome thank you so much
