A New Tradition for A New Decade

January 2, 2020
   We started a new tradition yesterday. The grandkids and their mamas hiked up to the top of Ratcliff Ridge and raised their arms to mimic the giant saguaros. 

Sixteen New, Raised Arms On Ratcliff Ridge

   We figure it will bring good luck for the new year by channeling the arms of the mighty sentinels. Or, maybe it's just a zany way to start the next decade.
