The cacti are plentiful in Arizona.  I’d never seen cacti before, so we pulled over onto a dirt path on the side of the road to check them out.  I kind of dig it.

Only afterwards did I think about the fact that Nicholas didn’t have his AAA memebership reactivated and that if we’d busted a tire driving on those rocky dirt paths on some remote leg of the freeway out of cellphone reception that things would have been mightily inconvenient.

But that didn’t happen so all is good.

Eastward still!
