For those of you who did not see it, here's what it was like...


Jeeps picked us up right at the hotel and we were on our way!

This canal brings water from the Colorado river into the area to irrigate the farmland.

Sink-hole? Hey, we're right along the San Andres fault!

Here's what the palm trees look like naturally.

And they lose their lower, dried leaves to fire -
usually due to lighting strikes or spontaneous combustion due to friction.

Siggy checking out a wood-pecker hole - hmmm...

Them palms can be a bit thorny...

Walking the canyons...

That's our driver Jim with our ride - the Ghostwalker...

In case you get lost in the desert...

________________________________________________

Came across this little ol' mining town...
(BP - this company throws parties out in the desert. Company picnic stuff.)

________________________________________________

Got thrown in jail with this ol' timer...

________________________________________________

...then got sprung and made a run for it!

________________________________________________

Nice place for a cold, er, warm one!

________________________________________________

We didn't have the heart to tell Rob it was just a bail of hay...

Anybody seen the Automated Teller Machine around here?

Higher elevations...
