Near the Agua Caliente County Park we found a lot of barrel cactus. Cliff was intent on trying to find the largest one he could. Here are some photos taken during his search.
Cliff found a large barrel cactus, about 5 feet tall |
Judy found an even larger one, nearly six feet tall |
WOW!, here's a nice pair |
One is nearly 7 feet tall |
Looks like a nice match up |
There were many cholla catus in the area as well. We got some on our shoes again. |
