Coyotes and coyotes - living in the Sonoran Desert

Hand shown actual size

Annie grabbed her smartphone (Computer Age girl) and I grabbed my stick (Middle-Aged girl), and we set out for a walk.

I didn't include this for its photographic splendor.
Howdya do?
Howdya do!
Best be going!
Yep, me too.

This area planned to be a housing development. We knew better, so it was good to have Annie's newfangled find-yourself-thing. We ended up bushwhacking our way home. We were so invigorated that we jumped into the Tracker and bumped off down a "road."





Finally, I understand the backpacks (thanks, Lucy). Coyotes sell these "survival packs" (bottles of electrolyte solution, cans of food, a dollar-store can opener) on the other side of the border. They get hopeful immigrants to the US side, point toward a city 60 miles away, and buena suerte.





A couple of miles down the "road" a pair of big dogs headed after us and chased us, with intent, for a mile. We were not on foot. 

 
Darrell and Lucy came out to the site and got us level! No simple chore, since our hydraulic levelers have never worked. Although they dismissed it as no big deal, this extra work they did to make us comfortable was just for us. They did a custom leveling job. Guys, we love being parked here, and we THANK YOU.
