Volcanic Hills 12/5/2022
Another windy morning.
So far on flat.
Chollas spikes. It seems that they will hook after penetration. I may verify that again sometime.
Up to our first Spot Elevation.
Larry on some of the bumps going up.
First time on this one.
On to another one. It is getting rougher.
Climbing up.
This is our High Point.
John is here.
And way down.
Almost down.
Nice walking here.
So it is for this healthy tarantula.
Hairy close up.
Decorated bush.
Our lunch spot off the wind.
Climbed up to the ridge but it was so windy that we had to drop back down on the other side.
Meeting with John’s group.
Piepkorn memorial. He died here from heart attack.
Piepkorn Slot.
We are all back shielded from the wind.
