Saguaro Park to Colossal Cave
Driving home in the dark this evening, I proclaimed this a pretty perfect day. No, a perfect day, insists Rocky. What could have been better? She’s right. Perfect.
The ride plan for the day was to return to Saguaro Park, starting with a loop through the park before the day got too busy with visitors (it’s Monday, but also Martin Luther King Day) and then bike south to Colossal Caves and back. We timed it to return in late afternoon, have an early dinner on the open patio of the restaurant/bar near the park entrance, and then go back to the park in time to see the sunset. If time permitted, we’d also take a short walk in the desert while waiting for sundown.
Our timing was pretty good - perfect, in fact.

Miles from its home in Kissimmee
It's looking so wiggly
It makes me all giggly
This cactus whose first name is Timmy

Are those lenticular clouds?
In the top one I see a spaceship. The middle .. a large squirrel or maybe a ferret?
