Interested to sea that your now beyond Hope. Does that sign bother anyone else? I heard that there considering making English the official language of the grate state of Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to sit on that last 'cactus' that your sitting on everyday.
Enjoying the pictures and the daily updates.
The tall cacti you are seeing is the Saguaro (pronounced with a w). It takes 50 years for them to develop one of the side "arms" and they will live up to 150 years.
ReplyDeleteThat is a vicious-looking bicycle seat. Does it have a brand name? I'm guessing "The Prostate Crusher."
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, Jim! Beautiful view from your tent - almost like home, right?! Jeff, I thought the same thing, ugh! LOL at your comment.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think if they went to that much trouble to make the sign, they would proofread it! I see this from third graders every day, but adults? Come on! Enjoying your blog and have passed it on to Jie Li and my Sunday school class.
