Racoons, you've been warned.

While Remy and I were touring one of the most fascinating things we have seen on this journey - Arcosanti, our boys were engaged in a major airsoft battle in the coulee to the south. The Arizona landscape seems to be the perfect place for them to get their ya ya's out. They ask to shoot" just one"! bullet every time we stop even if it's just to pee so they were in airsoft heaven. 

Hollis and Bowen have started a new fashion trend here in the desert. Bowen isn't sporting his because he had previously stuck his in the back of his pants so it looked like a tail and when he went to remove it the tail ripped in half. OUCH

We stopped briefly just off the highway to get some cold water to drink. Ours had become quite hot in it's stainless steel container ( sorry, just had to throw that bit in there!)

We came across this most unusual couple in the parking lot of the gas station. I got totally busted when I tried to sneak a photo with my telephoto lens all the way from across the parking lot- It's hard to be inconspicuous in that van! The biker

noticed and waved so we drove over and had a great chat with them. Turns out he was just being a good samaritan by 

helping out the Franciscan Nun in distress. Dontcha just love America?

Tomorrow- Tucson and perhaps Mexico!
