Saguaro National Park
Arizona
Phew. Drove down to Tucson (2 hours away) and did 4 hours of hiking at the Saguaro National Park. Named after the saguaro cacti. Bloody tall. The landscape made me feel like I was in a roadrunner cartoon. But it was enjoyable.
Totally pooped now.

Re. hiking in the desert...are you carrying a GPS and a cell phone? At least a compass. Be sure you carry water. Stay on the trail. The desert is a lethal area, I kid you not. Wonderful place this time of year. Not wonderful earlier or later. 120 degrees in the shade is not comfy. Always wear boots. Wish I could put you in touch with a former Green Beret I know there. He'd get you out if you had trouble. What I'm saying is that I'm delighted you're enjoying, but for god's sake, be careful!
Just checked my old blog and there you were! Pure luck I found you. Forgot my password and blogger never did let me know what it was, so started a new blog at
http://aggravated.blogspot.com/ I was frustrated when I did it, thus the title. :) Am glad you're taking good care when in the desert. Now I'm content. If you can handle the jungle, you can handle anything. I've been told there's nothing white in the jungle, like flowers or whatever. Is that so?
