No sure how much value is here.

“1942 Ford GPW. Was going to rebuild it, but like everyone I have to many projects. Bought it at a auction, no title. Has a f head engine from a cj5. Many f marked parts. Good for a offroad, a spring over lift was done to it. For sale or trade for a 65-72 ford truck. 240 or 300 inline six is best. Or a good Willys cj5 parts jeep with a good steel tub to put on my 63 cj5.”

<– Day 7- Tuesday March 15th: Rollin’ Like Bill Gates | Beginning | Day 9 – Thursday March 17th: Crowded Backroads & Exploding Beer Glasses –>

2016-03-16-biosphere--DSC_7673

Behind Ann and inside that building is a rainforest!

Today we drove from Tucson to Globe. Along the way we saw some old technology and new. First the new, then the old. (See yesterday’s post here)

We started the day with a short walk to a nearby bagel place called The Bagel Joint in north Tucson. It’s slogan, if it ain’t boiled, it ain’t a bagel. Tucson yelpers seemed to like the place, so I thought it was worth checking out. While they were very good bagels, they still didn’t top the bagel I had at the Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shop in December of 2014. My mouth still waters in memory of that one!

With bagel consumed, we drove north for the day’s main adventure: Biosphere 2.

2016-03-16-tucson-globe-map

On our drive to Biosphere 2, we realized neither of us could remember much about the project. Our impression was that it was a failure at some level. We also wondered what happened to Biosphere 1. So, it was with this total lack of research that we entered the Biosphere 2 complex.

2016-03-16-biosphere_DSC9086

This is an overview of the complex.

2016-03-16-biosphere2_DSC9087

I guess they are preparing us for seeing the future?? Is biosphere 2 the future? The biosphere folks have the marketing machine in motion. I’m just not sure what they were thinking.
