Next we drove through Florence, AZ, which appears to be a declining town, despite the presence of many prisons. We stopped to see the beautiful Administrative Center in the middle of town and then to have a cold drink, as it was warming up rapidly.

The remainder of the morning and afternoon were spent driving down Hwy 79, the Final-Pioneer Parkway to our hotel in Tucson, with a picnic stop along the way.
The evening was spent at Marj and Bart's, longtime members of the MSCCNC who retired to Tucson a few years ago. They provided a delicious BBQ dinner for all 39 of us, plus a few of their local British Car group members. Several Morgan repairs were made including a missing bolt connecting the wing brace, a stuck 1/2 way down window on an Aero, changing an indicator switch, and reinstalling some cover under Fiona's Morgan.
