Chapter 7
Bought the Shirt but Didn’t Take the Hike
Cattle Tank BLM land
Cattle Tank disbursed camping area is our favorite BLM land we visited. It looks like God personally landscaped the area with a perfect mixture of cactus types and spacing.
Beauty at sunset
We enjoyed the views at sunset, and heard coyotes howling on the mountain nearby.
Picacho Peak
Picacho Peak can be seen for miles in every direction. It is the quintessential looking southwestern peak, to me.
Perfect mixture
Just the perfect mix of cactus types. But don’t touch! The needles are so sharp that they even stuck in our truck tires and had to be removed with a pair of plyers.
Great views from every angle
Don’t touch the Teddy Bear Cholla!
Mountain in the distance
The view was so beautiful as far as you could see…
Picacho Peak from a different angle
It was so great to see Picacho Peak from this perspective.
Sunset in the desert
Sunset turned the mountains pink, and the cholla a soft white.

Cacti on the horizon
So many cactii to enjoy.
Saguaro at sunset
Really enjoyed all the shapes and sizes of the cactus in our view.
