At least the Lady's cholla experience wasn't like this one!

Wow!! Those are really big cockle burrs.

We volunteered at Organ Pipe for a winter.

 

It was fairly common to see dogs that had gotten a cholla ball.....and then tried to remove it....

think about how a dog would remove a spine from its foot.

 

Kinda hard to watch.

I’m bald as an egg, but that’s a reason I carry a comb around cholla.

The Lady needs a pair of attachicon.gif7699CEF0-FA09-443A-A464-796F6E612288.jpeg these for her seemores.

 

Great TR! I’m hoping we can get back to OPNM before long.  Thanks for letting us tag along!

Prusik loop works great on her little pack and, besides, I don't know that either of us could get in or out of that contraption. Thanks for the nice comment and OPNM is waiting for you! :)

Very fun to hear of your travels. We love Organ Pipe and, since my sister lives in Benson, we did a tour of the caverns a little more than a year ago. They are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for following along and your kind comment! :)

Yup still having fun following you around.

Actually when I clicked on your video and watched it,other choices from u-tube

came up.This time it was more music videos from "Playing for Change".

Spent the last hour listening to some.

Thanks for the ride along.

And remember, Google can track everything you do.
