Day 78...Desert sight seeing














......................

Hello everyone, We took a side road out in the desert. Was really fun, or should I say interesting. We went as far as the rocky road let the Lincoln travel. It is mostly used by ATV's. We were looking for some wild life but only seen a lizard. By the time I got my camera out and climbed out of the car it had run into its hole. I just wish the cacti was in bloom. Just to early for most.



It was kind of cool this morning so didn't do much. Then we decided to go to Kathy's outdoor restaurant for some taco's, get a loaf of bread from the grocery store, and go back home. But Mel decided to take a detour.



Wilsons stopped over. We were just ready to have supper but they had already ate so they enjoyed our deck while we ate.



After supper we went to Desert Gold and enjoyed another Gospel Jam. Only 2 left before we go home.



By the way, the cactus in our park had another flower today. (picture) The others are already drying up. One lady here said it is called a Giant Brazilian. The black rocks pictured are remnents of a valcano that once happened here. The tall thin branched cactus is an Ocotillo (pernounced ocoteao) Right Betty? The shorter picky cactus is a Teddy Bear Cholla. The yellow is called Brittle Bush. Twin Peaks are in one photo. And of course the large cacti are the Saguaro.



I hope all is well every where. Good Night and God Bless
