Linda and Paul obviously enjoyed their life at the ranch, but happiness did not last. The property backs onto the Tanque Verde Ranch and the two ranches provided the opportunity for Linda to pursue her interest in her two Appaloosa horses, Spot and Blanket. The ranch house from the outside is not palatial like other houses in the area, but appears to be a comfortable family home. Frequently the family thrilled the locals when seen shopping or eating out in Tucson. Having four children, the family spent time together here during the spring and fall for 19 years. Because of its location, the ranch provided the family with privacy and was connected to the outside world by a helicopter pad. The ranch has a closed gate, but from the road, the corral and stables and other buildings can be seen with binoculars. The ranch property is located south of Redington Road around Mile Two. Three years later, Linda and Paul returned to Tucson and purchased 151 acres near the Tanque Verde River in the foothills of the Rincon Mountains, northeast of Tucson. The band even performed a concert in Tucson on June 18, 1976. Throughout their 29-year marriage, Linda became known as an animal rights activist, author of vegetarian cookbooks, founder of a vegetarian food empire, and later a musician in Paul’s band Wings. During the same year, the Beatles recorded the song Get Back, with the lyrics mentioning Tucson. His first wife, Linda Eastman, attended the University of Arizona, where she studied art history and developed an interest in photography.
