Papago

Near the Phoenix zoo, inhabited by the likes of the Arabian Oryx, Rothschild's mynah and the White Faced Saki and the Botanical gardens, which boasts a vast array of lithops (native to Namibia and South Africa) are the Papago Buttes. This area was at separate times a national monument (until 1930) and a prisoner of war camp for Zie Germans.

Today, Mike showed me that there are outdoor activities within Phoenix proper. You know, a day off of ropework to hang out on ropes. We found a simul-rappel, but no pictures were up to par for general consumption over this vast public ether.
