God is good, though, all the time! This scenic route is truly scenic - probably made more so by the disappointment of the National Park. However, I always enjoy learning, so the Park wasn't a total loss.
We're rollin' down the highway, and all of a sudden I holler out, "Stop, stop." Well, Granpa never, ever slams on the brakes. (Good for him!) When he manages to safely pull to a stop on the shoulder of this two lane highway in the middle of nowhere I convince him that I am convinced that I saw a crested saguaro. Thinking it was only a few hundred feet back that I said, "Stop!" he puts it in reverse (he's an excellent reverse-er) and runs back a couple hundred feet. I'm straining my eyeballs out but just not seeing what I saw. Again, we are in the middle of nowhere - which is good because there is no traffic coming or going. Granpa continues on in reverse.
Finally I surrender, and admit I must have been wrong. (Golly. How many more times am I going to impose on Granpa's good humor??) As we shift our eyes forward we see a wonderful bird of prey (an Osprey maybe?) on a telephone/power pole and Granpa stops for a photo op:
My eyes are still intent on looking for that crested saguaro ... and there it is! Just hangin' out on the side of the road - a crested saguaro!! Isn't it amazing !?!
God is so very, very good - all the time!
Personally, I think that God put that Osprey on that pole at that moment in time so that I could find that crested saguaro!
