Saturday Morning in the Desert

Hubby, Lil' Red and I went for a ride in the desert Saturday morning in search of some geocaches.

a cool, dreary morning

Weaver's Needle, the pointy peak in the center background

one of the side roads off the old highway

dead cholla

some of the geocaches were called rusting away

not hard to find when the container is an old

two gallon can

someone has been attacking this old gate post

the old highway bed

abandoned bee hives

at first I though vandalized

but there were others along the road

a very dry desert this year

baby pin cushion cactus growing at the base of a dead

or almost dead cholla

Hubby did most of the running

I was the photographer

should have brought my good camera

the rain started as were drove back home

on the real highway
