Tooling Down To Phoenix

Left: Plunging off the plateau on the Beeline highway, heading from Payson to Phoenix.


Cousins Paul and Karen and I departed from the cabin midafternoon on Sunday and headed to Phoenix.




We stopped at the Pobrecito turnoff, on the way to Saguaro Lake, itself a turnoff from Highway 87, in order to pose for pictures near a saguaro.

Although the saguaro cactuses were common, they weren't evenly-distributed across the hillsides. We managed somehow to find the most battered-looking saguaro of them all beside which to pose.
