A strangler from one of my backpacking trips. I run a tight ship but I did cover him with rocks! Seriously, though, I’ve run across several of these unmarked graves in the backcountry. The desert can be hot, dry, & unforgiving
The living rock cactus is flat, spineless, & easily overlooked except when adorned by a gorgeous pink bloom. I found these above the Hot Springs
From the Marufo Vega Trail looking across Texas mountains to the Sierra del Carmen across the Rio Grande
I’ve belonged to the Sierra Club & other environmental organizations for 40+ years & led more than 70 week-long service projects & backpacking trips in national parks. You might say I’m a tree hugger! Or maybe a yucca & creosote hugger since most of my activities have been in the Texas Trans-Pecos 😀
