Sunrise over the Claim


  

 We have been getting out to the gold claim way before sunrise.  It's a little scary when we get there because you don't know what creepy crawlies are where you want to walk.  So far we haven't seen any.  We get our equipment set up and have coffee and then as soon as it is light enough we start running dirt.  The sunrise was pretty coming up over the mountains so I got a picture with the phone.  I'm not impressed with the camera on the phone.  It doesn't capture all the colors that were in the sky.  

I had to take a picture of the cacti.  It is two saguaro cactus with a mesquite tree acting as a "nursery" tree to them.  The cactus grow better while protected by the tree.  The dirt is the driest we have ever run because it hasn't rained a drop in months.  It has also been so hot in this part of Arizona that they have broken all the records for the most days in a row of over a hundred degrees.  It finally is only getting in the nineties.  Yeah!
