Yesterday, on the way to visit my friend Mac on Roosevelt Lake, I stopped off to see the Tonto Cliff Dwellings and to dream of life in this Salt River Valley some six or eight hundred years ago.

Today we went bass fishing on Apache Lake. The fish are safe. Not even frightened. But it was fun visiting my old pal, his brother and my good friend, Skip, and their friend Mike. Now I have to go, I smell fish from other days frying.

I got a nice, liesurely start this morning in my desert camp, where I had a simple breakfast, and a little time sitting in the sun before heading over to Bouse, where, it seems our niece sold her store a year or more ago. So, off I went to Salome, where she danced, and on through Wenden and Aguila, arriving on the edge of Wickenburg just in time to do my painting for today. I pulled over to read one of those historic markers, something I seldom had time for until now

This one was particularly poignant:

It was getting late, so I drove a few hundred feet up the road behind this marker, and started setting up to paint. I glanced out Betsy's windhield and my previously planned painting just had to wait. To see the inspiration for Massacre Saguaro…
