🌵 Tucson Natural Sights ⛰️…

If you’ve never been, do yourself a favor and make the trip to the Tucson gem showcase! Tucson is one of the most beautiful places, with mountains, saguaro cacti, petroglyphs, and desert life. It’s also home to the largest gem show in the world, and it’s about to begin.

Come visit us at the Miners Co-op show—we will be set up with a collection of natural beauties of our own, from Jan. 31-Feb 16 at Sports Park Tucson. It’s right near Saguaro National Park West and the petroglyphs shown here, so it’s a perfect place to sneak a side quest in to your gem show visit! 🌵

Josh Hoskinson is a Master of Science student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona advised by Dr. Melanie Culver. His current research involves the Mexican gray wolves in the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area in Arizona and New Mexico to see if they have influenced the distribution and density of coyotes (and possibly foxes) in the region. Join us this coming Saturday 12pm-2pm for his 5-7 minute talk (part of general tour admission).

We’re back!!! (!!!)

After an unprecedented 3-week hiatus, The SideStreets Podcast is BACK and bigger/better than ever, with our guest, Dan Gibson, of VisitTucson.org and a million other fascinating things. Dan was once the head honcho at the Tucson Weekly after running their online presence, and in his previous life, worked in every avenue of the music industry one could imagine. This is everything I’ve ever wanted in a SideStreets interview.

We also talk a bit about our 2-week cross country road trip extravaganza -- 11 days, 5,000 miles, 16 states, and a whole lot of food. Here is a video we made about it.

What else is going on?...Well, since the episode is one of our longest in SideStreets history (just a hair under an hour and 13 minutes), you’d be WAY better off just listening to it instead of letting me ramble here. Some links:
