I never thought I'd say it, but that first picture of the cholla field is beautiful. Still, that plant can go back to hell from whence it came. Nice pictures Adam. Looks like you guys had a great time!

Huh, I thought I commented on this, but...we'll who knows? We had a GREAT time! Adam, the flight over the desert was spectacular. I look forward to seeing where this new adventure leads. The road trip through the desert was pretty awesome, as well. I have so many great pictures, and because of the blogs, so many great memories.
