but we weren't on a horse with no name.
As we traveled out to Bulldog Canyon we enjoyed looking at GINORMOUS houses and fancy cars. When we arrived to the off road portion of our trip our guide gave us night vision scopes. Pretty neat...here's my first peek....
As we traveled along the trail he had a flashlight with a black light filter on it, looking along the trail. He told us that scorpions would glow if he shined the black light on them....
Pretty cool, eh?
The guide said you couldn't get a good camera picture through the scope, so I proceeded to try harder to do so.
The stars were incredible.
Did you know that the stars you see with your eye are only a portion of what you can see with the night vision? It was amazing to see so many sparkling stars.
EGB read A Walk in the Desert recently that told all about the Senora desert and saguaro cacti. She was so excited to see them. She answered many questions about cactus the guide asked. Papa was very impressed...way to go Laura!! :)
OUCH...
M thinks this is the prettiest cactus in the desert.
This is jojoba.
Now our body time it was 1 am...so some didn't make the whole trip. Who am I kidding...We all feel asleep on the ride back to the hotel.
THE END....
Stay tuned for Montezuma's Castle....M will argue that she doesn't think a princess lived there though.
