Greetings!

We're here in sunny Yuma, Arizona, home to the Yuma Crossing National Heritage area, which will be Park #10 of our Big Blend Spirit of America Tour of all 401 National Park units! So far we've had fun learning about the city's rich history, and amazing culinary scene and agriculture.

Today we give a 'Hi-Five' to Tumacacori National Historical Park in Southern Arizona, Ann Bolinger-McQuade's new book EVERYDAY ORACLES: Decoding the Divine Messages That Are All Around Us, plus we have Summer Vegetable Gardening Tips, MaryAnn Marlar's recipe for Homemade Lemon Custard Ice Cream, and event news about the upcoming 4th Annual Much Ado About Sebastopol in Northern California.

Keep up with all our upcoming Big Blend Radio Shows and Big Blend Spirit of America Tour of all 401 National Park units by following us on Twitter and Facebook.

Have a Great Week End!
