The Desert - It's No Place for Sissies




Every day in the desert presents new threats. In Sedona gift shops, scorpions in lollipops and huge tarantulas encased in acrylic were being sold as souvenirs. That definitely spooked me. The abundance of these "trinkets" meant to me that they might appear in our hotel room at any time - fully animated and sans the acrylic and the candy coating. Luckily that did not happen. Then, as we travelled, we came upon Black Death/Bubonic Plague squirrel warnings at Montezuma's Castle and rattlesnake habitat alerts at Deer Valley Rock Art Center. No wonder we are drinking so many margaritas. It's a proverbial jungle out there and you've got to calm your nerves somehow.
