Hi! ~ I`m Bob, just Bob, as I`m known around these parts. We`re glad you stopped by (I can always use a couple more hands around here with all the animals), have a tall glass of Arizona sun tea, and I`ll show you around a bit. Careful where you step though, among other things, there are sidewinders out here. Not our famous "Tucson Sidewinders," they`re clean across town, I mean the kind that slither sideways (fast), and sport fangs!



I`m called chieftain-40 on the net, and Kathie, my wife is whiteduv1 This is our first 'real' website, so please be patient, we`re still learning. We think you`ll come to like our town, "we do!"

*NOTE: When writing, please only put the word DESERT in the subject line so I don`t delete it as spam. Thank you.



































Creek from Sabino Canyon during draught and monsoon.











































If you think the desert never floods, take a look at what our summer monsoons can do.
Sabino Canyon Floods

























































In Southern Arizona we have cactus of every shape and size as seen here, a variation of the giant saguaro.










Random other photos of where we live and work. You`d love it here, so plan a visit, OK? (just) Bob


































Some things that can occur in the mountains, unfortunetly.
















Fire 1999, before the 1999 Sabino Canyon hundred year FLOOD!














Poppies are everywhere in the Spring (the gold ones are breathtaking), and then there`s the Cholla, or "jumping cactus" as we call them.















Guess you might say I`m a lucky fellow; I have a ("top notch") Firefighter ~ EMT for a son. He keeps a pretty close eye on things out here. (-: Thanks! Rob.






























Can`t leave out this good shot of our giant suguaro`s! And some of our local "wildlife!"
