Good decision. And, as you say, hopefully not for the last time.

Nice work, Team Anderson! Looks like an amazing climb. You guys still got it! Enjoy the rest of your trip. Back to Portland soon?
4 years agoFront legs look too long to be a cottontail.
I vote for the juvenile black tail jack.
Brilliant! Complete with tasty meal, parasol, and teddy bear.
All they need now is a nice bottle opener.
I really like this photo. There's something about the branch shadow on the woodpecker's body ...
4 years agoYay, indeed!
I wish there were more of these in our Centennial CO neighborhood.
No, you’re right. We came this way three years ago on a too-long ride to Tupac, and I can’t say I enjoyed the experience much: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/tucson16/to-tubac/. But then, it was In the middle of a heat wave, I got sick, and we got a flat. We didn’t find the riding all that attractive until we rounded the corner at Nogales and headed up the east side of the mountains.
4 years agoWe went to the mission during our Tucson stay in 2018. Impressive. We rented a car, though, and didn't see many roads that looked bike friendly out that direction.
4 years agoI think you should seek guidance from the Wise Saguaro Sage, linked in a photo early in this post.
4 years agoOur cat, the cutest and smartest cat in the world, was killed by a coyote a year and a half ago. A few days later I spooked an enormous one on our street just around sunset. He was German Shepherd size and took off down the middle of the street. I have never seen an animal run that fast. We live right in Portland and the coyotes are becoming more numerous and bold every year. More than 15 cats have been killed in our area that I know of.
4 years agoActually no, she was a lovely person.
4 years agoYou’re right! I recognize scenes like this from our loop up to Duluth two years back. Quite an unusual sight here though.
4 years agoYeah, I wavered between cottontail and jack. Colors not right for jack, and ears not quite long enough either, but look too long for cottontail. Maybe juvenile black tail jack? Too many years since I left the desert (Dec. '70), and not enough time visiting since.
4 years agoMaybe, but he seems a bit smallish and his ears a bit too short. More likely a desert cottontail? Or then again, maybe he’s just a Bunny.

Thanks! It seemed the prudent thing to do. We don’t feel like we have anything to prove these day, and aren’t as prone to push our luck as we used to be. We’re in for the long game.
