We look (taste?) at Plants

We look at animals

Examples of changing ecosystems as we traveled up Mt Lemmon in AZ Saguaro Cactus, mile 0

Century Plant mile 7

Ponderosa pine & Oaks, mile 16 (and bear crossing sign)

Counting rings on 280 year old Ponderosa Pine stump, Mile 19

The Leaders Jim Howell & Steve Heninger

MAY 2008 Trip to The High Deserts of New Mexico Juniper Pinon “Forests”

Plants growing on old Lava Flow

Exploring a Lava Tube

Remnants of a Kiva

We travel around by van

On some trips we camp Chiricahua Mtns., AZ

One of our favorite Campsites, Organ Pipe, AZ The “facilities”
