Casa Grande, AZ – land of big cactuses

We ended up our winter sojourn and started heading out – first stop was in Casa Grande, AZ where we have family.   When we left Julian it was about 65 and when we got to Casa Grande a few hours later it was 102!  HOT!  Laddy is very sensitive to heat lately with his heart condition and I don’t handle extreme heat very well either, so even before we unhitched and leveled Jeff got the electricity plugged in and I got both A/Cs going.  Right next to our site was a huge saguaro cactus that was blooming – here’s a picture showing the size of it and a closeup of the blooms at the top.
