mogollon ridge

I drove up to the Mogollon Ridge today. 111 degrees in the valley, 78 at 7K altitude just south of Flagstaff. I drove off the BC freeway and took a dirt road into the woods and parked. I kicked around a bit and then I saw two pine cones. That got my attention. They reminded me why I was there. For a friend. My friend.
So I took them. I have them. I'm going to keep them.
