Had Monday off so I took a quick trip up to Mount Umunhum which is 3500' above San Jose.... (picture is looking to the North-East).
The 85' tall "cube" is a former US Air Force radar station that operated from 1958 to 1980... it was opened to the public after a massive clean up a few years ago.
Had the place to my self and it was only about a 30 mile round trip from the house.

Kitt Peak south west of Tuscon. Observatory with more than 2 dozen telescopes.
Visitor Center was closed. Tours have to be scheduled.

Concrete donuts were used as a load test for the telescopes mirror mounts.

Pretty cool place... literally it was cold up there!

Good trip to HR4K in Hereford today, great venue.
Bit chilly but dry and sunny, even saw another XT1200 same colour as mine on the way home going from Gloucester to Leominster way..

That was one of our regular "Destination Rides" when I lived in AZ.
Been up there a few times!
