A week ago we drove this road south to north. Today we drove it north to south. East to west is not an option. There are probably a lot of other places to get away from it all, but at our age this is far enough.
Jack was here to greet us and had a bit of a Monty Python look so I did not get out of the truck.
Denise took an interest in Ocotillo cactus. It is a bit unique due to its individual stems. This area is at the northern edge of its region. Also, we only find it at the top of ridges and hills. They can grow to 33 feet.
Nearby was a mountain ball cactus or at least I think that it is. There are many varieties with cactus species.
Vista, you want a vista? I got your vista, right here.
OK, this is one weird hill. Natural forces? Well Roswell is not far away. I ain't sayin' one way or t'other.
We are nearing the end of our stay here. On July 5th we will move west to Silver City, New Mexico. Consequently, posting may be a bit thin between now and then. Keep checking for more exciting adventures. Happy Trails. . . .
