Paws and Friends

Crested Saguaro are rare, one in 250,000 (according to cactus-art.biz ) and can take many forms. See this from Saguaro National Park, Arizona.   About a month ago we attended a North Ranch Outdoors meeting, mainly to find out more about the ATV/UTV roads behind the park. At the meeting we found out about crested saguaros near us, on the road to Stanton, about 6 miles away. We were able to record coordinates for the spot, and today drove out in the jeep to locate them. We succeeded! We love the Saguaros, and to see this one is just fuel for us to continue our search of these rare cacti! We hiked to this one from the road. Later we explored a couple of roads and identified which to take for next time! Cool! Happy Trails! Roving Riders

Cork board for our Pins We have been full-timing since July 2010. We have always collected pins of places and events we've been or attended, so we decided to continue that, as there is little room in the coach for souvenirs. We have two rows for 2010, three for 2011, and four rows for 2012. You can see that we began 2012 with the Escapees Boot Camp here at North Ranch; where we found this lot, and the rest is history! In a couple of weeks we'll head northwest, out to explore and collect more pins! Happy Trails! Roving Riders, soon to be "On the Road!"
