A So Cal Girl in the Desert

If there was ever a time I wish I had my camera this would be it. Actually happened a couple of weeks ago when we were driving down the 347 on our way to Maricopa for an early morning soccer game. The road cuts through the Ak-Chin Indian Reservation, so all that's around you is desert--beautiful desert with mountains in the background. In the distance, we thought we saw a line of fog. Very odd. We haven't seen fog in AZ at all! Didn't even know AZ could make fog! Once we got closer, we discovered that the Gila River, a dry river bed that winds through the desert was filled with fog. I don't know what conditions it takes for this to happen. I guess there must have been some moisture in the river bed, or something. As we got even closer, we saw a group of wild horses running alongside the fog. It was definitely among the top five most beautiful things I've ever seen. It was so beautiful, it looked fake. I wish so badly I had a photo for you.
