Saguro Cactus in Bloom

.

Before we left Quartzsite it was getting very hot and the saguro cacti were starting to bloom.  The pretty white flowers that pop open are favorites for the bees and hummingbirds.   By the time we left Quartzsite the town was getting pretty desolate with everyone leaving.  We found almost a gram of gold while we were there which about covered the cost of fuel to go dig.   

When we got all hooked up and ready to leave we realized that our camera monitor wasn't working.  A wire had broken and there was no way of fixing it at that point so we had to drive without being able to see the 4wheeler behind us which was unnerving.  We got close to Kingman and heard a loud hissing noise coming from the truck.  A day at the ford dealer and our leaky exhaust hose was replaced.  Jim was disappointed because he had planned to go to the Kingman airport cafe for breakfast and instead got to spend his time getting the truck fixed.
