Dec 22/17 Weather in Phoenix is cool for the next two days, high of 58 and low of 37. Feels wonderful in the coach or in a jacket in the sun. So we are catching up on tidbits, like flipping through the pictures on our cell phone and we found two that were forgotten. When we were in Catalina State Park we saw a Cactus on the move. Literally. Now one would have to ponder how you would go about moving a Saguaro Cactus that is 15 to 20 feet long and has many arms. An old mattress would be handy to keep it away from you! Looks like they used a ladder to keep the longest arm supported, pretty smart actually. Then there are lots of strappings to keep it in place and as much foam padding as needed. Definitely takes a few hands to do this transplanting. A Saguaro this size could be a hundred years old and about 2000 lbs.
