Saguaro Dreams

We've been camped near or under trees before, but never by such a huge saguaro cactus. It doesn't provide much shade, that's for sure.



Our morning was completely taken up with getting new tires for our truck at Discount Tire. The people there were very friendly and helpful--but also very busy. We spent part of the waiting time getting our walk in before the heat of the sun got too intense. The store is in a small retail mall, but surrounded by open desert. We walked around among the cactus, following what appeared to be a network of off-roading trails.

We now have brand new tires with lots of lovely tread--but a bit of sticker shock from buying six new Michelin truck tires with a 70,000 mile warranty. We're hoping for years of good service and safe driving. We were a bit surprised to learn that Discount Tire has an arrangement with Michelin so that Discount Tire actually offers the 70,000 mile warranty.
