Desert Geocaching

Hubby and I got out in the desert on Tuesday for some geocaching. This was a new area for us and a successful geocaching trip. There will be more of those during our November time here. Lil' Red got a work-out in the AZ desert dirt. After 12 seasons, I still find the desert interesting; there is always something new to see. Besides, no two saguaros are alike.
