Papago Park

Hi Folks! Rudy here!  Today Den Dad took us all to Papago Park. In case you can't guess - it's a desert park.  So this is our third desert park - not to mention a thousand or so kilometers of desert along the way.  Even though we've seen lots of desert - there are still some unique scenes.

For example - this feature is called "Hole in the Rock"
Wow - creative naming!

We saw this strange bird waiting to go fishing.

But mostly we saw our friends the cacti

We saw more desert flowers and more mountains with holes.

There was another unique thing - we all went hiking on this desert trail.  Then Den Dad's scooter got stuck in the gravel in a wash we went through.  Fortunately some hikers (Bill & Vicki) came along and it turned out that Bill actually had training in "off-road rescue".  So we all got rescued and made it back safely.  It was Bill's first scooter rescue.

So good-bye from the heart of Papago Park.
Remember - always travel with friends when in the desert.
We bears do!!!
