The Lady needs a pair of these for her seemores.

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.

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.

More caverns to add to the list. Thanks.

Some binoculars have tripod mounts, or they can be added. If the Lady's can make that work, I wonder if she would like a Peak Designs clip? I carry my camera that way, and it rarely bothers me.

Another great TR. We may add Kartcher Caverns SP to our Texas trip the end of March.

Thanks for another (and fun) TR !! Once I had a handful of prickly pear needles imbedded in my hand and couldn't remove them with tweezers because they're so fine. Luckily I was at home and smeared Tite Bond glue on my hand, let the glue set up until I could peel the glue off along with the stickers. Lesson learned- don't mess with them!! Good fortune with the bino's!!

A comb is also a good tool to carry, in particular if you have Cholla hitchhiking on your hide.

Told ya! Ain't retirement grand? All you got to do is point you nose in some direction and go smell some new flowers!

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

Wow!! Those are really big cockle burrs.

As my wife keeps telling me: “Either go where you’re looking, or look where you’re going.”

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.

My guess is that alcohol was involved

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!
