texastrophies Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Jacob & I made a quick trip out to AZ this past weekend to take the AZ hunters ed class to gain an additional bonus point. Here are a couple of interesting pics I took out of the car on the way back from Kingman to Phoenix yesterday. The quality isn't the greatest, as they were taken out of the car doing about 70 mph. The first two are a couple of Saguaro Cactus. These cactus take up to 75 years to develop a side arm. They can live for more than 150 years. Take a moment and think about the things that have happened while these plants have been living. These next few are just some interesting (to me) pictures of rock formations. We went through one area probably about 5 miles long that just had rocks & boulders all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colorado bob Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Long drive to get a point. But if you draw unit 10--it will be worth it. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 Long drive to get a point. But if you draw unit 10--it will be worth it. CB Had a couple of airline vouchers that were going to expire in the next couple of months if I didn't use them, so this looked like as good a use of them as anything else. Otherwise, yea, it wouldn't have been worth it. We are way to far behind max points to ever have to worry about Unit 10 or any of the deer units north of the ditch as I was informed the locals call it.

silvertip_co Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Great pics Jeff. Nice to see AZ again. I LOVE Arizona. In March we drove down from Pueblo to Phoenix to Puerto Penasco MX, and AZ was soooo beautiful with all the cactii and all the desert wildflowers blooming, some yellow some purple. We were privileged to be invited to the Salt River Pima Reservation and have a family dinner at the current Chief's home. She's a former long time AZ state prosecutor. Before we ate supper some of her Pima relatives took us around the reservation to see the wild horses and the river and saguaro cactii and flowers etc. AZ is just a great place. Just so much desert type stuff that we've never been exposed to back east and in Colorado. Good luck getting your tags and hunting there, I hope to do same one day with my friend George from over near Kingman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
