My daughters have been extremely interested in caves and mines lately, so we’ve been touring as many as we can find. This is an important part of Unschooling that is often misunderstood.

My younger daughter’s Girl Scout troop (I’m their Leader) recently went hiking at Gates Pass, on the West side of Tucson, AZ. Here are some photographs. All the little green vertical lines are saguaros. Many are hundreds of years old.
