Good ones, ZP. That desert fragrance after a rain is pretty great, and unique.

I have one. Sunset at Gates Pass. Catalina State Park. The much talked about Sonoran Hot Dogs (I'm hooked, btw... my poor arteries).

Yes, the lightning storms are like nowhere else I've ever seen. They are spectacular.

I like coyotes, too. Where does one get chili hot chocolate? Sounds like a very strange mix.

I tasted some at the street fair, and the Native Seeds store down on 4th Ave sells the mix. It sounds weird, but it's really tasty - especially on those chilly 50 degree days.

Oh, man... how could I forget about the Fox Tucson Theatre? And the Rodeo? And the longest non-motorized Rodeo Parade... of ALL things?

I bought a bar of chili chocolate once, but it wasn't to my taste. I happened to get it at Pier 1, but I think Cost Plus carries it, too. Ha, just saw that Lindt makes it now as well, so it can probably be found in more places. I think mine was of a different brand.

I believe its a combination of many scents, but the creosote bush seems to always come up in that conversation.

Awesome guys. I am almost done with it for the moment, had over 50 "ideas" to add as gifts. You guys rock. Thanks for everyone's help. I have spread around some reps.


P.S. If anyone has a facebook account and wants to look me up just for fun or add me as a friend, I'm there as Suzy Mellion (no secret). Tell me that you're from C-D.

Then you can use my new app too!

I'll have to try some. Last thing that piqued my interest that I got from this board was the Sonoran Hotdog, and those are damned yummy. Best hot dogs I ever had.

Smudge sticks perhaps?
