The Teddy Bear Cholla forest near Mt. View RV Ranch where we are staying. This type of cholla is the predominent plant growing in this spot. It is a magical spot. The plants have a golden glow in the sunshine and they seem to be taller than usual here.

The "forest" continues for an half mile or so, but turned around here as Chet was getting hot.

Two border patrol jeeps passed us on our walk and a couple helicopters overhead.
