White Dove


 

The Arizona sun is a place to warm the soul. I had decided to move and explore new plants and animals. The Student Conservation Corps was the perfect opportunity to move west and explore wild areas uninhabited by man. The volunteer location was northern Arizona. The Grand Canyon National Park had many volunteer positions and diversity of people, plants and animals. One free weekend provided a short vacation away from the maddening crowd. Thousands of visitors travel Grand Canyon's South Rim village. I was able to escape on a road trip south, to the Sonoran Desert. I found the White Dove in the desert graced with mesquite trees. The San Xavier Mission is south of Tucson where the Catalina Mountains are filled with saguaros and ocotillos.
