| no partners | | A long time old friend of mine called and asked if he could go hiking with me Sunday, since our wives would be busy with a shower. Well where should I take him? Knowing his political bent makes him make Tea Party folks look like Liberals, I thought lets go down to the Maricopas and see what drug traffic stuff we can find. This could either be really fun....or not. We parked by the Virgin of Guadalupe on the Maricopa/Gila Bend road. Not far from there I had found many sites with backpacks, carpet booties and other trafficking flotsam. I was amazed at how much more stuff had been added in the last year.
We then headed up to the old Butterfield Stage route. I had told him about a saguaro that was growing right next to the road and I always wondered how big it was when the stage passed it. A couple of weeks back the Mrs. and I were hiking Margies cove and noticed that a major storm had come through and blew down many saguaros and trees. The micro burst and massive rain had hit here also, so between the two areas we had lost hundreds of saguaros. Alas also the one by the trail I told my friend about.

On our return trip we found a curious little trailer that had been pulled up a wash. Gee I wonder what it was carrying? |
