The saguaros here seem to have more arms than other areas – are they older or a different variety?

Warm today – well down right hot with no shade! We had short sleeve on under the sun shirts.

Very picturesque down by the river. We enjoyed an hour or so of the concert with some fresh popcorn and the incredible mountain views! The drive home was an ever changing variety of colors of sunset to twilight. Very peaceful.

We were here last December for a concert in the park also. That blog posting is http://tealsky.com/2014/12/06/catalina-state-park/
