Who would have thought it.
We traveled to Palm Desert (Ca) this week. We visited the mountaintop town of Idyllwild. Its in the San Bernadino National Forest.
There, were found Oro Valley homeowner Larry Everitt tending his shop, "Everitt's Minerals and Jewelry". Larrt has a home in Rancho Vistoso. He plans to retire there. He's is considering opening a store in Oro Valley or a neighboring community.
"Everitt's Minerals and Jewelry" has an interesting selection of minerals from the world and jewelry. It was a fun place to browse. A store like this would be a nice addition to Oro Valley.
