But it is nowhere near the ‘Cibloa Lake Overlook’…in fact, it is in the opposite direction. And the ‘Cibola Lake’ access parking lots are nowhere near this body of water either. It’s all very confusing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/63c9016d-6d6d-48dc-8369-2b6282094b1c/Cibola+Lake+cable+car.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Cibola Lake - Make it stand out Here is the freeway bridge across the Colorado near Cibola Lake. http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2022/2/21/cibola-wildlife-refuge monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/6a5a4d80-1c1a-4126-a49b-9d33f5f510dc/Cibola+geese+mountain.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Cibola Wildlife Refuge - Make it stand out Snow geese on the Auto Tour Loop https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/e4ed8be0-538f-4067-9fe2-7a2665a1d4a4/Cibola+sandhill+crane+closeup.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Cibola Wildlife Refuge - Make it stand out Sandhill cranes https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/3fe2d578-065f-4d6d-b729-8ab367288898/Cibola+skyscape.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Cibola Wildlife Refuge - Make it stand out Cibola sky http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2022/2/21/kofa-wildlife-refuge monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/caf0ae9d-f51f-4754-ac2c-4456345271f1/KoFA+moonrise+King+Valley.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - KofA Wildlife Refuge - Make it stand out Moonrise in King Valley https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/f9b5f7a6-ea52-41ff-9398-d309d430a3ac/KoFA+King+Valley+near+sundown.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - KofA Wildlife Refuge - Make it stand out King Valley mountains near sundown http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2022/2/21/mojave-preserve monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/a2f0809e-86f8-4f2c-b83e-814d7a98e792/Mojave+preserve+campsite.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Mojave Preserve - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2022/2/21/afton-canyon-continued monthly 0.5 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/612fbb9e-10e5-41a7-8b10-35d2c87ea3c2/Afton+canyon+striae.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon (continued) - Make it stand out Interesting striae in rocks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/21729f3a-79c4-4dd3-8017-595edde06087/Afton+canyon+after+layers.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon (continued) - Make it stand out Layers of eroded mountains https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/6f8aa310-471b-4ea7-9099-963a8259f63e/Afton+canyon+erosion.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon (continued) - Make it stand out Eroded cliffs looming over our parking spot in Afton Canyon http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2021/11/25/afton-canyon monthly 0.5 2021-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/e6f24d15-f6d5-4df6-b2a9-752278b1832f/Afton+Canyon.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon - Make it stand out We are overlooking the campground…there is an RV in the distance. The road in is suitable for RVs, although there is one steep hill with some loose material that may cause momentary loss of traction. I didn’t see any huge rigs in here, but there were some moderately sized rigs. I would drive my 30 foot class C in (if I were driving it anywhere ever again). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/8b6f8d8c-76f4-49d0-baa9-2e2ba8368353/afton+canyon+cliffs.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon - Make it stand out Just up the road from the campground https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/f26a4800-e9aa-45eb-aea6-ac99152a095e/road+afton+canyon.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon - Make it stand out Maybe 500 feet past the campground, there’s a water crossing. It is passable (a phalanx of about 5 vehicles drove through it 10 minutes before I reached it), but it wasn’t that great for triking. I rode about 1/3 of the way across and the water was deep enough to reach the middle of my wheels and getting deeper…that would be about 12 inches. I imagine it probably wasn’t more than 18 inches deep or so (the bottom was invisible due to mud, possibly stirred up by the 5 vehicles ahead of me, so who knows), but I didn’t feel like getting wet so I gave it up. I’d probably do it in the truck. In fact, I might do it in the truck another day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/8fe177d7-4cdb-4887-8e82-388c188fc20e/afton+canyon+road+2.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Afton Canyon - Make it stand out Here’s a better view of the crossing.

And indeed, I probably shouldn’t have scored this one. I got it because the sane, normal person pulling a trailer that was on the road in front of me rejected it due to good sense.

This one was tough to get to because the last quarter or half mile requires clambering among boulders. This is not something I do well even with all my braces on. Worth it. Only one campsite though, so at your own risk. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634342724505-SYQ0EBV1WSS2EGB81MYP/Upper+Ball+Lake.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out This was my favorite: Upper Ball Lake. Getting back from here was a nightmare. We spent 3 nights, and it poured rain the last night. The way down is steep and rocky, and my knees kept collapsing and throwing me onto the muddy ground. From which I can hardly get up with my pack on. By the time I reached the car. I was on my hands and knees. Did I say hiking requires persistence? I think I said that. Even so, I simply adore Upper Ball Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634343233420-DMLH8NHO6NJ3EN20GH8A/clear+water+at+upper+ball+lake.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out The water of Upper Ball Lake is SO CLEAR! All these mountain tarns are clear, but Upper Ball was clear even in comparison with other, similar lakes. There was a remarkable absence of algae even near the shore. Sometimes it was hard to tell which rocks were under water and which were not. Gorgeous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634343945497-X8EYZWS9FVYK33Q070YB/George+at+lower+Roman+Nose+Lake.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out This is my brother doing what I want to do and cannot at Middle Roman Nose Lake. This was our first or second hike, before I bought my braces, and I simply couldn’t manage the boulders. So instead, I watched my brother wade effortlessly through the lake to catch a view of the upper end, fuming with envy, then I forced him to show me all the pictures he snapped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634344264129-NPILRDZQ1G4EY831OM6W/Middle+roman+nose.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out Middle Roman Nose Lake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634344378947-QL9D4YTS1MJ1HLLLW2J9/waterfall+into+middle+roman+nose.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out This is the waterfall coming out of Upper Roman Nose Lake into Middle Roman Nose Lake. After I failed to wade through the lake, I more-or-less (less, really) bushwhacked around the lake to see what was up there, and this is what I found. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634344722561-RB9LXAQPAU1GFAZL6POH/Upper+Roman+Nose+Lake.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out Upper Roman Nose Lake near our campsite https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1634344922080-8DZICPLGRGZB44397G7T/Upper+Roman+Nose+Lake+with+RN+behind+it.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - The Selkirks - Make it stand out This is also Upper Roman Nose, also near our campsite, only looking toward the Origin of it All, Roman Nose, looming in the background above the lake. From this angle, it doesn’t look any more like a nose than about a hundred other peaks in the Selkirks. My brother climbed Roman Nose (show-off). What he found up there was an old fire lookout that had burned down and a ROAD. Yeah, I can’t even climb the stupid thing and there’s a road. Or at least there used to be a road. It is not in good repair because the fire lookout is no longer used. http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2020/7/7/kootenai-valley-bonners-ferry monthly 0.5 2020-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1594152112577-EMHFK7J4OQXYL0J7HBKZ/Glowing+mustard.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Kootenai Valley, Bonners Ferry Strip of fluorescent yellow mustard glowing in the sun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1594152213758-C7UDF7GWZKAPC8L8JGBH/Kootenai+river+reflections.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Kootenai Valley, Bonners Ferry Canada?

It looks more like a drainage ditch than the Mighty Colorado. Let us contrast this view with the below, which is the only glimpse of the Colorado that I could get from the top of the Grand Canyon…and believe you me, it was hard to find.

There was actually as much sun as there was rain that day at the North Rim, and it made getting pictures quite a feat, as portions of the photo were in the sun, and therefore over-exposed, and other parts in deep shadow, and therefore under-exposed. Still, the rain brought out the intense colors in the rocks and made for some amazing views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1570322982134-MZGJZX2AHKQ4TUVXSBX0/North+rim+abstract+light.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - You didn't really think we were done with the Grand Canyon, did you? This is probably one of my favorite pictures of all time…in fact, I like it so much that I posted two versions of it (see below). It is so abstract that It looks almost unreal.

Instead, they have clambered out upon some of the rocks perched thousands of feet above the canyon floor to take pictures of themselves defying death. Hopefully, they will continue to defy it rather than falling victim to it. To a person such as myself, who cannot stand securely on her own feet in the middle of a parking lot at the bottom of Death Valley, it seems exceptionally foolhardy. My hands are actually sweating in fear as I write this. Most of the pictures I took of the Grand Canyon were taken from a sitting position because raising a camera to my eye is enough to make me lose my balance, and the railings at the Grand Canyon are actually quite low, or, in many cases, non-existent. In this case, though, the people are below one of the main viewing areas near Grand Canyon Village, and they have climbed over the railing to immortalize themselves. http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2019/10/5/your-neighbor monthly 0.5 2019-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1570314034205-946AHBQPLPMSXEPAORYF/Your+neighbor+the+cow.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Your Neighbor....

As you can see, I’ve beat it up pretty badly. In the lower right corner is my co-pilot, Mason, and barely visible behind her is the cat, whom I can’t train to do a blessed thing but jump in my lap when I’m trying to knit or blog or eat or, really, anything that would cause maximum inconvenience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555893641033-IXPZS23KNYUAKVJLOD0C/Trike+Ironwood+NM.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Pictures of something besides nature And here is my trike. I ride this all sorts of places that people don’t generally ride trikes, or, for that matter, anything without a motor. I know people go mountain biking on these trails because I see the occasional tire track. The only actual human beings I see, though, are the ones riding OHVs, ATVs or motorcycles. They sometimes stop to ask me if I’m all right (which is very nice of them) because they can’t imagine what I might be doing out in the desert (or forest) miles from the nearest outpost of civilization. It seems inconceivable that anyone would choose to ride 15 or 20 miles on a trike. Although people do it all the time. Maybe it is because I am old and should be sitting in front of a homey fire eating bon-bons or knitting tea-cozies or something. http://www.wynwordpress.com/vagabond-tourist/2019/4/21/all-deserts-are-not-created-equal monthly 0.5 2019-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555890729935-VTRCFFJRZ5IPJL8K8XSF/Outside+Yuma+2.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Let’s start with the desert outside Yuma. The closest thing we get to greenery is creosote bushes and the odd Palo Verde. No cacti here. To ensure you don’t miss the cacti, all the bushes and trees have dreadful thorns. The only thing missing is the remarkable ability of the cacti to leap out and stick themselves to you with barbed thorns that hurt coming out more than they do going in. Actually, the desert around Death Valley looks a little like this, except it has even less foliage, prettier rocks, and a whole lot of salt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555890886368-UOIT0Z2EAWUARNMGLU03/Kofa+in+Feb+%281%29.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Just a few miles east of Yuma we have the KofA National Wildlife Refuge. I really love KofA (that stands for King of Arizona, the name of a now-defunct mine for, I believe, copper, in the refuge). Unfortunately, it presents two difficulties. First, virtually none of the roads are appropriate for RV travel. Naturally, that doesn't stop us from traveling into the refuge to camp. It simply means that it takes 45 minutes to travel 5 miles over sharp gravel, washboard surfaces and the occasional giant pothole. Plus you are risking the health of your tires. After you leave the camping area, the going gets much worse. I can’t even ride most of it on my trike, although I gave it a valiant effort. Second, there are a gracious plenty of cacti, and my co-pilot doesn’t seem to have the sense to avoid them, so she is constantly dragging bits o’ cactus into the house which I must try to pull off her while she strenuously resists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555891575773-LDOWK9309U9BUV4C2ZHB/Buenos+Aires+NWR+mountain.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Here we have the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge south of Tucson. There are actually a few different types of landscape here, but this is where we camped, and I rode through 18 miles of pretty much the same thing looking for Pronghorn Antelope. Of which I saw, regrettably, none. The only wildlife I succeeded in viewing were some deer, which are small in comparison to the ones that wander across my property in northern Idaho in giant herds. Apparently, though, there is great birding here, and sightings of the antelope are not uncommon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555892123644-4S64FZT1ZY0BTO2QHQ8K/Buenos+Aires+NWR+riparian.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Here is a little gem buried within the BA NWR. It is a riparian area I stumbled across while riding the “paved” road through the refuge. I say “paved” because, though it does actually have black stuff on it, it is worse than some gravel roads I’ve been on. The whole thing is nothing but patch on top of patch, infrequently interspersed with a bit if loose asphalt gravel and some large potholes. Apparently, one can take this horrendous road all the way to I-17. If one wanted to for some strange reason. Obviously, this is not a desert. But is right in the middle of a desert-like area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555892773616-4SKBYRYTWZ3NBT3IRKH8/Ironwood+National+Monument.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Here we have the Ironwood National Monument northwest of Tucson. The saguaro (which these cacti are) aren’t really an issue because they keep to themselves rather than leaping on unsuspecting tourists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555892946245-U4M3EWCMSBPD2Z2TCUGF/Saguaro+National+Park.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - All deserts are NOT created equal Here is part of Saguaro National Park (west unit), also west and slightly north of Tucson. Plenty of saguaro here plus the ubiquitous Prickly Pear. Although this photo doesn’t show any, there are also Barrel Cactus, Cholla and Hedgehog Cactus.

Here is a rare exception. I was hoping to determine whether miners actually went down into the mine via these vertical shafts or whether they were just for air or light or something, but I could not tell from the wreckage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555882182006-BFXNMF9Z4VTG0ZOU37MX/Abandoned+mine+1.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma Much less often, you find a horizontal mine entrance like this one. I think I found three of them all told, although I know there is another one somewhere around American Girl because I saw a photo of it on-line. On the roads to these mine shafts, the BLM has placed signs advising us that abandoned mine shafts are dangerous. That is the reason I can tell you, with confidence, that you should be very careful around them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555884708407-M8KGSGA7Q5V57TR87S44/Abandoned+mine+2.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma Here is the second of the three horizontal mine shafts I encountered. It may appear that this one was unfenced, but that is inaccurate. I am shooting through the fence. Not that I would have gone into the mine if there were no fence… Well, okay, I WOULD have gone into the mine if it were not fenced, but not very far in because I am only a little bit stupid rather than very stupid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555885793371-8JBHVQFXSOA5DS0059T1/from+inside+a+mining+shaft+%281%29.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma This is the view from inside the mine shaft, or at least as far as I could get inside the mine shaft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555885033728-53DOV974GVWBPXYX2LW7/Old+mining+cabin+%281%29.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma At the end of another road, I found this old cabin. Since there was the usual warning sign on the road approaching the cabin, I knew there was a mine shaft somewhere in the vicinity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555885404407-JEXXLMV6WR0VUE8NTWER/Mine+above+old+cabin+%281%29.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma I found the old mine shaft way above the cabin. I actually clambered up here to see how far I could look in. Clambering up, and particularly down, is extremely treacherous if you are me and have CMT. It is steep enough that I was worried about teetering down the hill in an avalanche of rock, or breaking my leg or something. Unfortunately, the shaft had been blocked by a cave-in (deliberate?) not far from the entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1555886099047-VIGV5TCH535XNPZ0DKH6/blooming+ocotilla.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - More interesting stuff around Yuma Ah, here is the desert near Yuma in springtime. It is not entirely without color. The track you see going around the Ocotillo is the road I am riding up.

The bit of ramp sticking out below the main structure seems to be part of a sluice, although it’s hard to be sure about that.

Maybe the angel is pooping lightning bolts? Anyway, I was very fond of it for that reason, and included it even though it isn't one of the clearer petroglyphs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496009413633-HNTE98YBJ0XST2NHM5H3/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site Much later on the trail I found another pooping angel but this one has a growth of some kind on its wing that might be a dog? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496009587787-A6C9VTUNB2G7ASYHRJRQ/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site The naturalism of this ram's head is different from the more highly stylized petroglyphs I've seen before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496009685058-J60GMXFTQ7W2WAUEWOPG/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site Here's a whole sheep...again, I thought this was unusually naturalistic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496009750917-7VINWESNJUFXYM8ERUNT/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site So most of you probably aren't impressed with this petroglyph, but my family members will immediately recognize it as Leopold the See-Through Crumb Picker. Leopold the See-Through Crumb Picker was one of the many books our mom read to us when we were little. I thought he was an original idea, but here he is in a 900 year old petroglyph. Wow! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496009993547-U2NQ7G4DGM5YYCSGSSTE/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site This is obviously a cross between a giraffe and a turkey. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496010085807-THTAGNX3I1D0788ILGKY/pterodactyl.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site And this, also obviously, is some sort of pterodactyl/road-runner thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496010181632-72QX2X3U9CA21U7F96E9/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site I don't know what this is...some kind of scrawny horse, maybe? But what I love about it is that it seems to be playing yo-yo with its tongue, and the yo-yo is the Earth. So it must be a cosmic beast of some kind that has a yo-yo earth tongue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1496010338803-BSE6T3YJWDNXR402BTID/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Three Rivers Petroglyph Site Here is an ancient road sign.

One can walk down to it (or drive, actually, but we walked).

Oh, wait. Maybe I don’t know what you’re thinking. I know what I’m thinking, and I am totally disgusted by the hideous graininess of the sky in these pictures. I didn’t know they were grainy until I downloaded the whole batch to my computer, only to discover that I had ruined all my pictures of Chiricahua NM and all my subsequent pictures, too, up until this very day. Somehow I managed to set the ISO on my camera to 6400, which is way too high. Grrrr. Anyway, in all these pictures that should show a beautiful sky we will be assaulted by this horrible graininess, but these are all the pictures I have, so I can’t avoid it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952324582-ZSINF8DGMHTSKRD5NXFP/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952348079-RCVIJ5KGNZZTDKEHS0UP/Chiricahua+day+2-3.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952794596-YIDT3545GUZHKS5M471N/Chiricahua+day+2-4.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952801771-PGOCIZLVZWX5VZTJPYW1/Chiricahua+day+2-5.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952807158-382W3XSG8JRNCXEH6XMF/chiricahua+day+2-6.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952824088-EIPB408K6PJJCR0258TO/chiricahua+day+2-7.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952830382-YSBRLKVOQYD56ECOXDGF/chiricahua+day+2-8.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952834340-1NRHTQ18ZITQ30W718MA/chiricahua+day+2-9.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952840347-B2U273LBNZXIEH27QFGD/chiricahua+day+2-10.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1494952923071-PP9Q581MP81WZ32UWE1T/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Chiricahua National Monument - Day 2 So when I had finished the laborious climb to Massai Point, here's what I saw.

I’m not sure what kind of cactus this is…it vaguely resembles a barrel cactus, short and dark green with vertical lines of spines, but it is spindly instead of fat and it grows in clumps. Of course, there are a zillion kinds of cactus, and I know the names of maybe four of them, so it could be anything. Perhaps there is such a thing as a Skinny, Congregating Barrel Cactus? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1492462941013-BBLY5L4C07INVFEHYWE1/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Scenic AZ 79 Here is a real barrel cactus for comparison purposes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1492463003504-GNJIIBHWY0LJK14P3G50/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Scenic AZ 79 The ocotillo were blooming, too (pronounced 'ocotiyo') https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1492463124933-9O2ZV902G1PK8OM7NU0M/blooming+palo+verde.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - Scenic AZ 79 And the Palo Verde were blooming as well. I assume these are Palo Verde simply because the wood is green (hence the ‘verde’), and I mean GREEN like a katydid or a preying mantis.

Even if you see hundreds of tire tracks from other vehicles who seem to have traversed it successfully, don’t do it. The rusting hulks of their vehicles and the sun-bleached bones of their skeletons are probably hidden behind a bush nearby. In fact, simply avoid any area that is lower than the surrounding ground, and any area that has a vague appearance of sandiness, and any area that is lined with trees or large bushes. This is a wash. There is no such thing as a shallow wash. Under the surface, there is a bottomless pit of sand that goes all the way down to China. If you get stuck in a wash, you will never dig yourself out…the only way out is with a tow chain and a four-wheel drive truck, or a winch and cable, if you can find anything to hook your cable to. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1491442036219-ERA9XWT6GS818HM5MECT/another+danger+area.jpg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - VT's Rules for Using Your RV as an Off-Road-Vehicle in the Desert Rule 2: Avoid any ground that has animal dwellings dug into it (it’s soft). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/519f9db0e4b0899ec29723fe/1491442095127-ZSS8MS6S5EUPUHMSIN8E/image-asset.jpeg Imogen Aldridge Vagabond Tourist - VT's Rules for Using Your RV as an Off-Road-Vehicle in the Desert Rule 3: Avoid any ground that is lumpy. Avoid any ground that is too close to the bushes. Avoid any ground that looks different from the ground you are on. In fact, maybe you should just avoid the ground altogether and stay on the road. Don’t delude yourself that you can tell which ground is safe by walking over it. As you can see from this photo if you look between the tire tracks, the ground you will get stuck in may look exactly the same as the ground you won’t get stuck in, and unless you weigh 15,000 lb. or so, the ground may support you just fine, yet collapse beneath your vehicle.
