The reason it's called Palm Canyon....these Palm trees grew naturally and were discovered in this canyon in 1923

A Chuckwalla lizard...it was huge and scared the crap out of the hubby (who screamed like a little girl) but don't tell him I said that!! It was hiding behind the rock he was working on and when the rock fell ..there it was!

Ever see square rocks inbedded in other rocks? Plus I found a fossil of some type of plant imbedded in a rock.

Very nice, Cindy!! I had to laugh about your husband screaming like a girl. I will admit I would have screamed, too. I'm not afraid of lizards but the surprise of finding him where I didn't expect him would have done it.
Thanks for sharing!!

Looks like quite an interesting outing! Looks like you were having a great time! What kind of rocks/fossils/minerals were you looking for?

Thanks and I agree....I would have screamed to ... he was picking at rocks on the side of a bank and a large rock fell off and BAM...there was Chuck....we thought the bank was giving way because of the way he screamed and jumped back so fast.

It was...we were told about the square minerals that are embedded in other rocks...so we were looking for those. I have a picture attached of them...have no idea what they are but it was fun looking for stuff.

Wow shots throughout, really great set, Cindy! Really fun finding all the different items left for this "fallen soul" too. It stayed sharp zooming a lot.
Thanks for taking us along!

Nice set to remember your trip and I particularly like the first one. I would have screamed too, but in a much deeper tone of voice, of course. 😜
