Tucson will always hold a special place in my heart. Maybe it’s because I spent two years of my life there while attending the University of Arizona. Maybe it’s because of the Mexican food. Or maybe it’s because of the ideal climate and desert. Whichever it may be, I take a few trips to the Dirty T throughout the year. It’s always been an escape, a place that makes it feel like it’s 2018 again and I can spend the day driving around and hiking with my friend, Ethan VenJohn, a UofA geoscience graduate who now works with the state of Arizona.
