When wandering through the desert, one should always stay alert. Bloodthirsty babies are EVERYWHERE.
Looking for evidence of bobcats... we heard from a neighbor that there was a bobcat in our back yard that morning...
"Check the corner over there."
Bobcat poop. It's like one step above seeing Sasquatch.
In line at the Desert Museum of legend. I've been hearing about this place for years now. Major hype to contend with.
It's literally out in the desert. Ok, at least the name doesn't lie.
Ok, caves, bonus points.

Hunting for turquoise. One stone per person, please.
Meow.
"It's a Gila monster."
Annnd then Desmond found a girlfriend. Apparently he goes for the aggressive woman who grabs his hand and tells him where to go.
Hummingbirds are NOT easy to take pictures of.
Ice cream break
Burr family hiking in Saguaro National Forest
Petroglyphs up on those rocks
I had no idea there was actually wood on the inside of cacti
In retrospect it was kind of common sense that there would be something wooden, but I'm not perfect.
ANDY NO WATCH OUT FOR THE MASSIVE BLADES-- oh no it got him.
Really, really, really tall.
This is a desert ant hole. At the time, there were ants everywhere. So, where'd they go in this picture?
The sign used to say "Live Lobsters" but then they got rid of all but one of them, so for the sake of grammatical correctness they got rid of the 'S'
Uh, Sophia...you've got something--
...on your face...
I'm watching Desmond play around with the hose for ten minutes, then in a flash of motion he somehow locks the spray nozzle in the On position, then sprays himself in the face, and drops the hose perfectly upright, so the only way to get to it and turn it off is to step into the spray of icy water. At least it was fun to watch.
Triumvirate of dogpark terror.
Walking in the backyardareas
Oh no...they're back.
Winter NOOOOOOOO
If Desmond can crawl through one of these, why can't I?*
*Because Desmond is two feet tall and doesn't have to crawl through these and get covered in nasty-ass mud. Nasty ass-mud? Nasty-ass mud.
It doesn't look like much, but once one of these things touches your skin you never forget it. This makes me cringe.

Bad.
Worse.
Much worse. Part of it is still stuck under her skin.
[As I'm posting: "YOU STOPPED AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THAT?!"]
Wash hopping
Being either watched over or hunted by a hawk and great horned owl
One of the livelier activities in Green Valley, AZ -- shopping at White Elephant. Open from 9 am-12 pm every day??
With a surprisingly strong organ section.
I now wear this shirt everyday.
Freak Nasty Ho's latest release. Controversee...That's Life...And That's the Way It Is. They couldn't get rid of it for $4.99?? REALLY?
One last hike, Kartchner Caverns. Technically on top of Kartchner Caverns because tickets were sold out.
It looks like he's feeding a newborn Wintercalf
Next post: Goodbye Tucson, family, and Pete, and back into the wilderness.
Alright, I finally caught up with your post. Those are wonderful sites, great scenes, sweet families, and hot dices (why are they so much fun?)
ReplyDeleteI am wondering if you have ever past by a city named Sample? That name came from a joke...
