PD:
Any Mexican food restaurant is good and better than anything I have had here. Actually it is Mexican food this is Tex Mex. I always recommend a good Green Chile Burro (burrito for you Texans).
If you haven't ever had a Cheese Crisp
http://www.recipegoldmine.com/eggcheese/eggcheese7.html as an appetizer go for it, it is such an easy thing to make/good to eat and I don't understand the lack of it on the menu's here.
If you have down time and can afford a couple hours away go to:
Sedona
Montezuma's Castle

Jerome (Ghost Town)

The Heard Museum

Prescott is a cool town if you have the time you can do the loop of Sedona/Jerome and Prescott.
The Grand Canyon, only if you have a day and then some to visit..... it isn't just up the street as some think it is.
And in Tempe there is the great institution called ASU, they have a pretty good little baseball team there, but mind you what you see in the summer of the campus is a poor representation of how it looks during the school year. Last summer I was there and the old Frat. Row looked like a Nuclear Event had just happened.
If you want a good burger and if it is still there on University ChuckBox,
link2chuckbox also there is a place called Minder Binders
link 2 Minder Bindersthat was a cool hangout in the "day".
You are only 2 hours or less from Tucson so if you want to visit another College Campus then there is another University there but I just can't remember the name of it right now, I will get back to you.
Mill Street is wonderful full of good restaurants and there is the Salt River that you can walk around and I think rent some boats at.
Enjoy and I might just run into you there I have been toying around with going for the weekend to visit some friends and watch a LH Wildcats game so you just never know...............will you be at the same location as the Wildcats.
