Thanks to the massive amount of rain we have had lately, the desert has turned into a lush garden.Find Waldo...er wifey.

That's beautiful, I bet you don't see that too often.

We need to wait another 30 days before we see flowers. Damn, I sure do miss Arizona. We was at the Grand Canyon for a couple days and Sedona. Stayed the night at Prescott and drove down through Jerome and to Phoenix and back to Las Vegas. What a beautiful state. Oh, thanks for the pic.

Here is a scenic train ride that looks pretty cool. It follows the Verde River thru a desert riperian area.http://www.verdecanyonrr.com/slideshow.htm

You're right...the desert looks amazing. Nice to see someone else from Phoenix.

JohnC, where was that picture taken? I live at 35th Ave and Pinnacle Peak. That looks just like the mountains at Thunderbird park, just west of Waterworld and the 500 club. True it is great time to live in the desert, but you and I know it's all going to dry up in the summer and some lost camper is going to blaze up the entire northern part of Arizona by lighting a "signal fire".

LOLWe were 20 miles south of Wickenburg, in the Belmont Mts. There are a lot of old mines in this area, but it is not my favorite Jeep or Quad area. A lot nicer place is NE of Wickenburg out Constellation Rd 20 miles or so. It is very high desert, lots of different types of plants and hundreds of gold silver and copper mines. I think it use to be called Copperopolis. the old stage coach and ore cart roads make for great hiking and fourwheelin.
