How many of these have YOU visited?

Heck, a lot of them I didn't even know about.

All but one.

If you are looking for bucket list items, add
- Old West Museum in Scottsdale.
- Bashas private museum in south valley (Gilbert? Queen Creek?) Gun collection is lame, but the Indian baskets and western sculptures are world class.
- Speaking of Indian art, Heard Museum (downtown, not so much Carefree).
- Pima Air Museum, Tucson.
- Commemorative Air Force Museum, Mesa. (Went there Friday.)
- Martin's Auto Museum off I-17. Went there Saturday for the first time. Great place! Well worth a two or three hour visit.

For outdoorsy things, you gotta go see the Grand Canyon, right?
And Meteor Crater.
And Humphrey's Peak.
Lots of great places in Arizona.

Hardly any of those offer any significant entertainment for me, mostly because I've visited Stonehenge, lthe Avebury circle, Stony Stratford, Hadrian's wall, Knossos on the Aegean island of Crete and many other noteworthy places. I guess I'm jaded.

Have a great, gun carryin', Kenpo day

Oh yeah? What about the Great Wall of Chinle?

I have no desire to see such, I've seen wonders of the world, and now I'm done doing that.

At the Eddy Basha museum, Eddy has the biggest collection of my cousin’s “Greg Campbell” Turned wood bowls. He use to have to put eddy on hold. So he could sell thru some art galleries. Otherwise. Eddy would buy them all.

These are great, and very under-appreciated. The Scottsdale Museum of the West had an exhibition of the works of Edward Curtis that included hundreds of his Photogravures / Goldtones photographic plates from his photography making the 20 volume set on the different native tribes. We went there on a whim and I didn't know this was currently there at the time and it was pretty extraordinary not only in the effort and task - but as a photography enthusiast it was remarkable. I wish it was still on display as I would go back.

Pima Air and Space is always awesome.

The Falcon Field CAF museum in mesa is great. They have a B17 and a B25 based out of there - and during the cooler parts of the year you can book a seat on them, or their SNJ. You can walk around the maintenance hangar as well.

The Heard museum is also amazing.

The list should also include the Musical Instrument Museum - it is a great place, and a really awesome concert venue. The wife and I frequent concerts there as the venue is small and there is always someone interesting performing. Can't beat front row seats for 40-50 bucks and zero idiots present.

I realized after I posted that this is the Outdoors subforum, so we really should be talking about outdoorsy things like the Grand Canyon and the Tuzigoot ruins.
