We will have a picnic lunch at one of the tables at the Mt. Wrightson picnic area - bring your own lunch and beverages. After lunch we will head to San Xavier Mission going "the back way" among the man-made mesas west of Green Valley.
Here's the plan:

Some Notes:
At San Xavier del Bac you can get blessed by wiggling the head of the life-sized saint laying in his coffin (true).
quote:"This tradition goes back to Father Ignacio Joseph Ramirez y Arellano who is believed to have had a miraculous state in death that was witnessed by people from all over the Tucson area."
The mission also has a chapel that is so hot because of all the votive candles, you can get heat prostration in it!
It's really cool... (I mean HAWT!)
