Gila Wilderness

Long Long ago I took a backpacking trip into the Gila Wilderness on the Mogollon Rim in SW New Mexico. Those of you who only know me as an old fart, can stop laughing now.
These pictures are from then.



I think of this one as the welcoming committee. They are looking us over, checking out their prospects for a meal sometime in the near future.



"Oh no, more tourist! That makes 6 this year."




I truely appreciate that God put rattlers on this sucker. I could hear him but it took me too many seconds to find him in the grass.



The gold at the end of the rainbow. Yes he was orange, but looked gold in the light.
