Cave Creek

Episode 19, in which Cheryl photographs bugs, er, doing it.

And we see a Gila monster! We visited a riparian area northeast of Phoenix. Since many desert plants are protected, I took only photographs. They're available on Flickr.

Highway Foraging on I-17

Episode 8, in which Cheryl and her mom find the number 8.

Appropriate, huh?

We met for a birthday lunch, but I managed to turn it into a finding opportunity. And a sunburn opportunity. But we found nifty animal bones and metal bits.

Santa Fe Railroad

Episode 7, in which we threaten national security.

For today's class we walked a couple of miles along the Santa Fe Railroad tracks, foraging for metal, glass, interesting rocks and wood. It's not shown in the video, but Joe Willie found an amazing 18 inch piece of beautifully weathered oak, and let me tell you, it was heavy. He's going to give me a slice of it for one of my projects. As you watch, keep an eye out for our impromptu xylophone. We left it out by the tracks for any wandering musicians that might happen by.
