Hi John and List, John mentioned Kartchner Caverns southeast of Tucson as an interesting sidetrip. I couldn't agree more -- I took the tour back on Memorial Day this past year and it was fabulous. The cave, which is very much alive, has been expertly preserved through the use of double doors, minimal lighting, and constant monitoring of moisture and CO2 levels. Much of the cave has never been touched by man thanks to forward-thinking conservation efforts by the cave discoverers.
Our tour guide was quite the character. You'll know if you get the same guy by his deep voice, dramatic pauses, and signature phrase preceding each move to the next part of the Caverns: "Please follow me..." If you do decide to go -- GET RESERVATIONS WELL IN ADVANCE. You'll need them. Another interesting, completely non-meteoritical side trip is a tour of a (decommissioned) Titan Missile Silo, also near Tucson. Both trips can be done quite easily in the same day.
