Welsh Rugby Scarf Travel Log in Pictures

The journey of the scarf was briefly halted by the ineptitude of the US Postal service but is now rectified and well on it's journey to the next stop.

Prompted by Brooke's comment about the "mystery" of the next stop I provide a few clues: The next stop is situated in the western foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. In March 2008, Fortune Small Business magazine named the city #44 on its list of "100 Best Places to Live and Launch" a business. The city was incorporated in 1974. In 1990 the town had a population of 6,670, and by 2000 that figure had increased to 29,700 residents and in 2008 it eclipsed 43,000. (Note all info here culled from the Internet, specific sources excluded to not let the cat out of the bag).

The scarf has made its' way to Arizona!

Here is the first of several pictures. That's Pusch Ridge on the back side of the Catalina Mountains in the background.

There may be a few surprises for the scarf this weekend, and then it will be off to the next volunteer.

These are giant saguaro cactus, located West of Tucson, Arizona in the Saguaro National Monument. Those little helpers are my daughters, ages 5 and 7. They both think the scarf is neat with the dragons.

By the way, in this picture, you'll notice the scarf is wrapped around my neck. Recall that this is July in the desert. It was 110 degrees F. Yes it was hot!

More to come later this weekend...

Great pictures, Jim I am so happy to see the scarf in Oro Valley. (The Post office thinks it is Long Beach Ca. ) I really like that you got the City sign for a photo. I had tried doing that but the best signs are in the median here, wonderful touch. Nice to include your daughters as well.

The scarf made it to the campus of the University of Arizona. Here are a few photos:

Derek, feel free to post them directly here in the thread, like before.

There may be another photo set from later tonight or tomorrow??? We'll see. Either way, the scarf will be off in the post on Tuesday (when the US Post Office re-opens) to its' next destination

Excellents pics. Thanks for them. If the scarf can be on its way on Tues to the next mystery reciever that will be brilliant. It needs to cover a lot of ground quickly.
Thankyou once again for what you have done. Here the pics posted.








Looking forward to its next course heading wherever that may be. Only azwildcat96 knows.
