Our first morning as land owners

Jan and I closed on our land September 16th 2005. After the closing, we headed out to our new "ranch" for a night of camping. The land we found is 12.4 acres and is about 40 miles east of Tucson. We noticed after our first sunset that evening that Tucson has so many lights, it looks like the sun never really goes down to the west, but remains a faint glow below the horizon. Fortunately this does not spoil what seems like trillions of stars above in the night sky. After a good night's rest, we awoke to a magnificent sunrise and Jan walked around the land and took a few photos. Here is one looking northeast across our ranch. This will give you a little idea why we chose this land.
