However, we did find a place to pull over next to some construction equipment, so that we could complete our ‘Quest for a Crest.’ Crested Saguaros are a rare mutation that affects roughly 1-in-10,000 Saguaros. Chris had done a lot of research online hoping that we could find one, and he got some instructions from a member of the Crested Saguaro Society. We started walking along the road with binoculars, and I soon spotted our goal. Alas, Chris ended up jogging back to the coach (in some pretty crazy heat) because the camera battery was dead and he hadn't put a fresh one in his pocket. Uggh!
