Maybe he thought we might feed him. Unfortunately, we had no food for him.

Within the area of the National Monument, there are areas that have reverted back to typical Arizonan desert, but there are also large areas that are grassland, having obviously retained some of the fertility of the volcanic ash.

It's interesting that the volcano ash will indeed have made the area more fertile, but it all looks pretty barren now.nomadtravellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714845635955522112noreply@blogger.com
