Let's face it; we all get stressed out from the daily grind of things, from the low days at the office to the drudgery of doing the never ending house hold chores. Don't you wish you were at the beach lazing around the white sand beach surrounded by tropical trees or bungee jumping with friends as you let loose of all those angst? Then look no more, corporate offices everywhere have tied up with outdoor sporting companies as part of their team building efforts by driving dune buggies. Dune buggy, you say? Yes this colorful automatic transmission two seat open air recreational vehicle with four large wheels on a modified engine supported by safety frames, has taken the sporting world by storm. Think of a rugged golf cart shaped like a small version of a jeep or a Volkswagen beetle then that's your buggy. Company executives acknowledged the importance this vehicle play in boosting morale, trust and honesty among beat out employees making them more productive team members in an organization.
In the developing economies of Asia particularly in the Emirates, relocated expatriates from Europe and the United States have introduced this proven method, paving the way as a confidence building measure. Dune buggies have indeed gone a long way from its recreational use to its therapeutic effects. It has diversified into several types from its simple design, evolving into various shapes and sizes worthy enough to hurdle even the though mountain terrain. A quick browse over the web best illustrates the functionality and best features of this hot rod. Tom Wilcox, 39 of Dallas, Texas was one lucky buyer of a cheap but sturdy buggy, after watching a dune buggy feature replayed at the sports channel, he decided to go for a test drive and was hooked ever since. 2,500 with few minor modifications to make. In the market economy of Dubai, United Emirates, sand buggy cars are regular feature sight of the picturesque landscape of the dunes. Often referred to as "air buggies", it's equipped with an open framed chassis, called sandrails, powered by its special tires to navigate desert terrain. With this in mind, if you haven't driven a dune buggy before its high time you try the ride of your lifetime. It's exhilarating, safe and fun!
I heard it, but never saw it. Do you like to watch birds? Have you been to any of these places? Do you like to watch birds? The de Anza Trail is between Tubac and Tumacacori. You have to park on one end or the other, just off the "highway" but not in a residential area, and it's a hike after that. One time I went from the bridge road in Tubac all the way to Clark Crossing. Round trip is about 5 miles. It's an easy hike. The main attraction there has been the Sinaloa Wren. There was one here and one in Huachuca Canyon. It's beautiful, shady, and when there's water, even more wonderful. I am not concerned about going there. Further south, you get into area where there tends to be a lot of illegal immigrant activity. Some people will go there, but I won't. For that reason, I cannot give you any real information about birding there. Local birders can tell you more, and there is plenty of information in the Guide I listed above.
I also have been to Arivaca Cienega. I think that is probably reasonably safe. This is another riparian area, near Arivaca, and it is fenced, and there is a trail I understand is a loop about a mile long. There are lots of little areas where you can find different kinds of birds, with water and that sort of thing. In the middle of the loop is shade trees, and also at the beginning and end. The water vegetation is also interesting. I haven't been either location very often, so I can't really describe the diversity of birds. You are liable to find almost anything. The picture is a view from the de Anza Trail. It's largely woods, so you can't really see the mountains, but you get glimpses of them here and there. Take the exit at Tubac and drive along the frontage road on the east. It is easier to point you to Clark Crossing, which is the midpoint between Bridge Road to the north, where it crosses the Santa Rita River, and Santa Gertrudis Lane to the south.
