Thought I'd share two cool things. The first is an ancient organ pipe cactus. This cactus is very, very old and is still growing. It is 100+ miles from the edge of organ pipe habitat currently. We found it scouting last fall. Really really cool. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/j4Wj1hS.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/B7TwlGg.jpg) The second was a visitor I just had in the yard. Ancient old warrior himself. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/FUz094W.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/x40hAtP.jpg) Happy Memorial Day all....

Very cool! That cactus is huge.
I found a couple Indian pit houses from 1,000 years ago hiking yesterday near Flagstaff.
I need to actually try to post pictures on this website.

From the title, I expected this thread to be about two geezers living in a trailer park in Yuma.

Thanks Greg.
Just makes me miss the desert more.
This "high desert" sagebrush/juniper stuff just isn't the same.
Just now pouring down rain after a week or more of cloudy drizzly days, thunderstorms, and high humidity (for here, not for Mississippi)
Pics of the real desert are always welcome.
