Hi, everyone!
We took a 1/2 mile stroll this morning among the giant Saguaro cacti that grow exclusively in the Sonoran Desert just outside Tucson. I say giant because they can grow to 60' and weight up to 4800 lbs. They can live up to 200 years. While impressive, they are not the only cactus found there. The prickly pear and the Utah cactus, among others, also grow there. They are flowering now and are beautiful.
We're staying in El Paso, TX tonight just across the Rio Grande from Juarez, Mexico (probably the murder capital of the Western Hemisphere). But, we feel safe here among fellow travelers. We passed through Las Crusas, NM on the way. It sits at the base of a huge mountain range (see pic). The wind pushed our Airstream around a bit and promises to do so again tomorrow. I guess we'll spend a few days in Texas. I would really like to see the Texas bluebonnets that should be blooming.
Enjoy the pictures.
