Wouldn't "jaded" be more of a green color? Oh,sorry, you said you will get jaded. I see now.

Yeah, I'd like to see one of those fly catchers too. Spectacular! Your subtle humor was not wasted.
Yup. And they disappear in an instant.
4 years agoYou notice, when they stop, it is usually right at the entrance to their burrow?
4 years agoIt has been a lot of fun, and Bill Shaneyfelt has been an invaluable resource. It’s been great having him along for the ride.
4 years agoStarted long ago, but still active. Just a matter of time until it’s a zero peak quarry, I imagine.

4 years agoWhat a great landscape! Too bad about the removal of a peak. I thought they only did that in places that didn't respect the environment. I suppose it started a very long time ago though.
4 years agoThis is fascinating .. ferns and fungi in the desert!
I love imagining how much fun you're having with this journal, seeing so many familiar plant faces.
Thanks for all of the great information and knowledge you add to so many cycle touring journals!
Scott,
You should have picked the fruit.
Jack and Maria - in case you're looking at comments, congratulations!
Scott - I loved your stories about the time you and Rachael spent with Maria and Jack. Such interesting, energetic, talented, and kind people!!
Yes, I think we can expect to see a few saguaros on this climb, until we’ve climbed out of the zone. It looks like Saturday will be a great day for it.
And thanks for the prompt about Bisbee, whip! I needed that.
Yeah, quite interesting to me when I first saw ferns and moss in the desert. Turns out there are also mushrooms. The Sonoran Desert, with its combination of winter soaking rains (occasionally, anyway) and its summer monsoon downpours that sometimes actually produce nice green streaks of vegetation along their paths not long after they pass, can support an amazing variety of plant and animal species.

Good luck climbing Lemmon. Hope it's not too cold at the top!
