The night before our Big Bike Adventure we stay at the Floating Stone Inn & Spa in Tubac. http://www.thefloatingstoneinn.com/welcome/, near the Spanish Fortress from which Lt. Col. Juan Bautista de Anza, the leader whose steps we shall track across the Sonora and Mojave Deserts, began his expedition across the desert in the 1770's.)
