The Tail of Two Deserts ...

- Yes, there is "the tail of two deserts" in southern Arizona ... and lots of tales to go with both!  (Apologies to Charles Dickens!)
- The northeastern "tail" of the Sonoran Desert encompasses western parts of southern Arizona as well as southeastern California and northwestern Mexico
- The northwestern "tail" of the Chihuahuan Desert can be found in the eastern edge of southern Arizona as well as southern New Mexico, Texas and north-central Mexico
- Wow!  Not just one, but TWO deserts with different characteristics, critters, vegetation ...
- Both deserts extend well into northern Mexico, but the "tails" are in southern Arizona!
