"You went on a retreat with Tupac!?!? I knew he was alive!!"
Sorry, Tubac, not Tupac. Amanda and I went on the Mohr Hackett firm retreat this past weekend to Tubac, Arizona and had a great time. We were fortunate enough to have Amanda's parents and brothers (Bryan and Kevin) in town to babysit the kids. Tubac is a little town (very little) about 40 miles south of Tucson and just north of Nogales. The resort was fantastic. The activities for the weekend included hiking, golfing, massages, eating, spelunking, and a ride-along with the U.S. Border Patrol (kidding).
For the golf aficionados, the Tubac golf course was the site of the fictitious U.S. Open in "Tin Cup." The course was great. There were cattle that roamed openly around the course. I even managed to hit a shot into the lake on the "Trainwreck" hole. My scramble foursome, made up of myself, Tom Axelson, Dan Beeks, and Matt Kelly, won the Mohr Hackett Invitational Scramble with a score of 68 (4 under).
On Sunday we took a jaunt over to the Tumacacori National Historical Park. Others in our group hiked the 4 miles to the site. We, on the other hand, taking advantage of modern technology, drove. Tumacacori is a mission that was established in 1691. I can't imagine that the area has changed that much in the last 300 years.
Next, we headed over Kartchner Caverns State Park. Rather than give you a long and elaborate description of what we saw, I will sum it up like this: It was big hole. If you like caves, this is heaven. They wouldn't let us take pictures of the caves, so I downloaded these copyrighted pictures illegally off the internet.
We had a blast and were thankful for the opportunity to get to miss our kids - which we did. This is definitely a place we'd like to come back to.
*For the IRS - we did manage to incorporate a 3 hour continuing legal education class into the weekend.

That resort looks awesome. Hmmm. We'll have to check it out. I'm sure Roger has some real estate education classes or somethin' he needs to do
Thanks for writing this.
