Wow! We are in one of the most beautiful places in this country - I know there are so many but this one ranks right up there. We arrived in Organ Pipe Cactus National Park in southern Arizona on Wednesday with intentions of staying for just 3 nights. We decided to extend for a couple more because of the weather, the awesome beauty that is in this particular part of the desert. As we drove down into the park from the north the scenery changed from stark dry desert to many varieties of cactus all on a velvet green carpet! We feel protected and surrounded by the majestic cactus and forever mountains. No matter which way you turn here there is not beauty. Whoever designed this park had nature in mind in the placement of the campsites which hide each camper, trailer or tent so that when you look out you see the land not the people.
Not many words this evening. Hopefully the pictures will fill in the spaces I left blank.
