Because I Can CXXXI
So originally when I saw this I thought it looked like a small fuzzy Beavertail Cactus. I thought that was just a funny phrase.
In actuality it’s an Old Man Cactus, I think, and that name is not as funny. I’m trying to learn all the vegetation out here, at least a little, and it’s going to take a while.
I did find a nice resource in Bird and Hike where they list the various habitats, and the various cacti around Vegas.
Also everything I thought was Beavertail Cactus is a member of the Pricklypear Cactus family. More to learn.

It wouldn’t be so strange, if it wasn’t a sign buried up to the top of the post, and if it wasn’t many miles from anywhere. I guess if you’ve got a ridge on each side blocking any view from the road the valley in between is good for anything, including dumping your ruble and dirt. Sad really.

Some days I feel like things are out to get me. I don’t think I’m paranoid. I think.
