I had a busy day! Luckily, it was all fun. After a walk this morning where I met two interesting desert creatures, Kevin and I rode our electric bikes about five miles into the Little Picacho Wilderness Area. You'd think riding electric bikes wouldn't much exercise, but on this trip it was. The terrain is extremely rugged and there were a couple places where the road is so bad we had to walk our bikes up the hills. It definitely got my heart racing. Plus, my battery died the last half mile, so I really did some pedaling once that happened.

Photo Description:

1) This view was the climax of our bike ride. That's Ferguson Lake is in the foreground with the Castle Dome Mountains behind.

2) Ferguson Lake is right on the border between Arizona and California.

3, 4, 5 & 6) The Little Picacho Wilderness Area is arid and incredibly rugged.

7) This is a female Magnificent Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla magnifica) that I saw on my walk this morning. Although they look like ants, they're actually wasps. The males have wings and fly, while the females are flightless. Magnificent Velvet Ants are the largest of the approximately 400 species of velvet ants that live in the southwestern desert.

8) I really love seeing the wild burros (Equus asinus) out here.

9) I had to share this photo from last night, as I sat and watched the setting moon.
