Nov. 30 – Cactus Study
A stately saguaro cactus near camp.
A closer look at the ‘arms’ of the cactus.
Remember, look down too! This tarantula wasn’t too far away!
Nov. 29 – A Walk and a Ride
We took a 5 mile walk cross-country without Mavrik, he was recovering from the 8 mile walk yesterday. We found this cute tiny pincushion cactus under a bigger bush.
The 1 inch long fruit is eaten by little desert rodents.
After lunch we took a motorcycle ride, again without Mavrik, he hasn’t learned to sit on a motorcycle. We rode up to a communications tower then into the desert.
We don’t know who stays in this trailer, but it must be mighty hot in there!

Nov. 28 – West to East
An early morning moon-set to the west.
And turn around to the east to view a beautiful sunrise!
And a cute picture of Mavrik, cowdog!
Nov. 27 – Another Beautiful Day
A gorgeous end to a great day in the desert.
Actually we went into town to do errands and resupply, but we had a wonderful evening back at our campsite.
Nov. 24 – A Nestled Moon
The moon, like a pearl, nestled in the arm of a saguaro.
