SUNDAY AFTERNOON

was spent on the bombing range caching......surprise!!!! It was a day running around in the RZR's finding caches. Took these pictures with my GPS, nice little camera on the Oregon 550 t. The desert is nice and green right now with all the rain we had last month. Have not seen any flowers in bloom in the desert this year. February and March we should be seeing the the desert in bloom.

Looked up Saguaros cactus on the Internet and they take up to 75 years to develop a side arm. It is estimated that saguaros can live to be 150- 200 years old. The cactus bloom in May and June so I never get to see them in bloom but the bloom is a creamy white flower with yellow centers that measured about 3 inches. So much more info on the net, check it out...

Of course we were on the Bombing range to cache. Not sure how many we found but know it was a bunch. Fun day but is was WINDY and cold, notice how we are all bundled up. Rain, wind, cold, snow, heat, nothing slows down a true cacher. Well snow and sleet might slow me up......
