I for one am NOT boycotting AZ for any reason whatsoever! The family and I will be there next Friday afternoon. Headed to Mesa to see the in-laws for a week of R&R. We usually get to Tucson around 1600. Coming through on I10. Anything to watch out for?

So beware of the Killer Blue Hairs? Sounds like my part of Texas. Senior living centers are popping up quicker than fire ant mounds after a rain. I'm in Dallas and most drivers here are bufoons anyway.
So is this Campbell/Ft.Lowell thing at the intersection of the 2 a few miles east of I-10? If that's the case then I'm fine because I get the last fuel in El Paso or Lordsburg. What's the lowest speed limit on 10 through Tucson these days? I always have a hard time there after cruising for several hours at 80 I feel like I'm crawling when I have to get down to 55. Jester |
55 on parts of the freeway. Be careful or you will be paying for our street repair.
I-10 is pretty nice to travel on. If you are going to spend some time in Tucson Comfort Suites on I 10 and Ina Road is nice. From there back to Prince Road go west to Campbell, turn right and go past Ft. lowell road a boit a half mile to Casa Molina, a Great Mexican food place that has been in business since the 30's. |

Tucson traffic is a nightmare. They should have build a beltway 10 years ago but the city decided that by not building a freeway they would not have to deal with growth. Now they have all the growth but no freeway except for I-10/I-19.
If you get off of the I-10 you may never find your way back. |

I have said for many many years that Tucson's policy on growth has been "(eyes closed, fingers in ears) LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA .... I CAN"T HEAR YOU!!!!!!! ... did they go away yet?" |

Campbell / Ft. Lowell re-destruction starts Monday 5/17. AVOID AVOID AVOID They're completely removing all paving and putting new H20 supply for a block each way. Done next... February.  Shit I usually drive through there on my way to/ from work. Good thing I'm moving next week. |

When I left tucson in 1992, you could whip around anywhere in town quickly, now when I go it is so congested everywhere.. there were times during the day there was hardley any traffic out there and you could pull up to a stop light and get right through it... Compared to Los Angeles, Phoenix, New York, San Diego, Seoul, Tokyo–– basically any major city..............Tucson traffic isn't shit. Only the locals and small town folks bitch about it. We are still full....
