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.




The second was a visitor I just had in the yard. Ancient old warrior himself.





Happy Memorial Day all....

Very cool Greg.

I wanna see one of them gila monsters in person!!!!! Thanks!!!!

Great pics, very cool!

Neat stuff.

Thanks for sharing, I bet the humidity ain’t near what it is here!!

Great pictures!

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.

It's 75 degrees at my house right now...

It's unreal this weather....

snowing in flagstaff, off and on today

Had one run across the road in front of me one day, Gila county of all places, a bit north of Globe.
Lol

Nice!

95 here today.. With humidity!

Nice photos. Thanks!

Cool pics and country down there Greg.

Cool always have wanted to see a Gila monster in person.

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.

OK Geno -

Is his tail supposed to be that short?

Great pictures

Love the one with the ocatillo in the fog!

Greg, I sure enjoyed the pics. I'm not all that familiar with your area of AZ. What's the name of the pointy peak in the center of this pic?

Maybe we should start a desert pic thread? I'm sure there's a number of folks here that have some nice ones.

Thanks again,

Geno

Good idea, Geno!

Baboquivari Peak Geno....

baboquivari

I was expecting to see a pair of our Arizona members.

Awesome pics! Thanks

Great pic thanks, Greg.

Great pics!👍🏻

Was that trap still set when you found it?

Yes...

Saw 1 chain link above the ground in the middle of BFE....

Damn I miss the desert. May just end up forcing the wife to accept a move someday.

Good luck with that. After 5+ years living along the AZ/NV border seeing temps up to 126/128F and in Boulder City NV my wife will have none of it again!

That's why I miss it so much I think, because I know I'll never live there again unless she passes before I do. She's led an easier life and is younger, so I don't see that as likely.

Geno

57 degrees here at my house in Prescott today. love it

Cool pics G...Where’s the water? Grin 😎

Water?

Yeah, the wavy stuff...😎

Is it wet?

Laffin...😂

I knew by the title you'd be in this thread buddy!!
